Trans Fluid Change ???'s
 All, Im a noobie and a first time Nissan owner got a 03 fronty 4x4 VG33E, auto. Well I just got it and I need to go through it to make it "Rob Certified" so ? with trans change. I want to swap Amsoil in everything, but what would be the quickest most efficient way to do the trans? I know we can do a tranny flush but thats not using Amsoil. I'll drain it first and will dropping the pan clear out a little more? I figure I will have to do this a few times so eventually the trans will be 100% synthetic. Any suggestions or special tools, I haven't looked underneath it yet so any tips and hints will be greatly appreciated!

in your tranny you could drain and fill with amsoil but more than half the fluid left will still be the factory tranny oil, best thing to do is to just have your dealer flush the tranny with genuine nissan fluid and you'll be set to go, just my opinion.

from my experience, nissan auto trannys require nissan matic-j fluid. i'd double and triple check before attmepting to put amsoil ATF in there.
manual is a different story altogether.

You can't get the fluid out of the torque converter and other little nooks so the best option would be to flush it with professional equipment. I guess you can change it a few times but that's not the proper way and you won't get it all out.

So don't go with anything other than Nissan fluid for the auto tranny?
