about 4 months ago i did a full tranny flush and put valvoline high mileage tranny fluid in. well after that i experienced first-second slip(in my auto) when the fluid was cold. after the fluid was warm it worked fine. well i got fet up with the slipping so i decided to by the OEM stuff from nissan. i put it in today and it feels brand new so far. will have to try again tomorrow and hopefully still no slips

Did you buy the fluid from a dealership? How much was it?

i bought 12 qt. from the dealer and it was like 80 or 90 with tax

That costs about what synthetic does.

Don't the 2000-2003 Maxima's require some special type of fluid for the 5 speed auto's? I wanted to do a tranny flush for my girls car but I was scared to use aftermarket fluid because I didn't know if it was spec'd to match Nissan's fluid/

well from my experience getting fluid at the dealer there is a big difference in fluid for the 4 speed auto and the 5 speed auto. i believe the 00-01 are 4 speed auto and 02-03 are 5 speed auto

Thanks guys. I'm new to the Maxima scene so bear with me.

Any idea what fluid the 4 Speed Auto takes?

thats the stuff i had to buy. i just called the dealer and asked them. it has a special letter or number at the end of it that distinguishes it between the other tranny fluids

matic D for ATF

GimmeTorq

Nissan Matic D or any Dexron III spec'ed ATF. Many org'ers myself included use Dexron III ATF without problems. Mobil 1, Amsoil, and Chevron ATF as alternatives to Matic D are usually recommended here.
