You don't need to stay home more because you lose the smile factor of racking them miles up.
This is a general question to you and anyone else who can answer this:
If the Nissan fluid gets you to a 30,000 mile interval why not put the same fluid in at change time? I understand about meeting or exceeding factory specs etc. but if you had a failure, you pay out of your pocket to get the truck repaired and then battle them to get reimbursed. They won't give in right away and your truck will be laid up in the meantime.
The majority of owners out there can't afford to have their ride in pieces while they fight between the aftermarket maker and the trucks manufacturer until it's resolved, you need to have your daily driver back on the road.
There is a member here who called corporate to get a FINAL AND DEFINITIVE answer on if he could have a truck built a certain way (exactly like mine) and they can't even solve that issue much less replace a $4000 to $5000 trans with another vendor involved. He already told them I own the same truck he wanted and they said we don't build them that way.
Now if it's a part that you can replace easily and less costly while you fight it's another thing. This is just something I read about all the time on here and other forums I belong to or have belonged to in the past.
As I said I'm not singling you out but I'd give this a bit more thought or call the dealer and ask a "what if" question or two as they are who you will have to deal with if someting goes wrong.
