Hey, what does the dealer charge for the stock fluid? I just use one of the major brand Dexron III for drain and fills.

The factory ATF is fine. I had picked up 6 bottles to do a drain and fill about 6 months back.

I have no idea if this stuff is trash or not; it's labelled "Keyline", for use in Nissan and Infiniti AT's. I did notice much smoother shifting afterwards.

$3.99CDN a bottle (1L).

Ouch. They don't sell conventional Dexron III by the case at places like the Costco on Bridgeport?

Not entirely sure for Costco. Canadian Tire, Mopac and Lordco I know both stock synthetic, so it stands to chance that they would also stock regular ATF.
