i have a 03 maxima, 40k miles on it.. when do you have to flush or change the AT fluid?

let me know what you did, or recommend,
and let me know what Nissan recommends.

thank you.. a quick reply is REALLY helpful!!!

 

follow my link.. have fun....

 

A read of the FAQ/How to plus already running discussions in Fluid and Lubricants would be quicker.

 

thanks guys, but i didn't ask HOW to change it, i asked WHEN to change it!

 

I changed it around 40K miles.

 

I read your thread and it says what I did.. so I answer everything in my post. Also next time call Nissan or check your manual...

 

Sorry, maybe i didn't eleborate... When i said...
let me know what you did, or recommend,
and let me know what Nissan recommends.
i meant when you changed your oil, not how you changed it, and i called 2 dealers, one said every 30k miles, one said 50k.. so i'm like HUH??

and the manual doesn't say anything.

So I'm confused! STILL!

 

Take a hint... It's all about the same. I guess I wouldn't go beyond 50k miles. If you have 40k and are wondering, just go ahead and get it done. It can't hurt to change it a little early. Plus you'll get to see if you notice any minute difference in the tranny's feel and operation, which'll give you more experience with your car's quirks and such.

 

I drain and fill every 30K and so far I drove 2 cars to beyond 200K without tranny failure...
