Where is a guide for changing ATF
I was wondering if anyone has seen a nice guide w/ pics on dropping the pan and changing the automatic transmission fluid on the 4th gen. How many quarts/liters does it take? Thanks.

Read Sticky #1 for procedures.

I'm also curious exactly what the capacity is for the transmission fluid. Doesn't say in the manual.

Capacity: ATF - 10.5 quarts
Motor oil - 3.5 quarts

Note that those figures are for 5th gen Maxima.

So I'm assuming to perform a manual trasmission flush (using sticky #1) I would have to buy two 12-quart cases of fluid to have enough.
