MLML Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I can't seem to find a good answer on this. The recommended fluid is Nissan Matic D, I think. What alternatives are there? Anyone with experience? I talked with a mechanic today and he said anything other than Matic D might harm the seals, another mechanic said he uses an alternate fluid with no issue.

MLML Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 My owner's manual states Matic D or DexronIII/Mercon. I just ordered the Matic D. It's a little more expensive, but better safe than sorry with a transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 My '93 is running generic dex/merc without complaint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bax03SE Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I run Castrol Transmax Import/Multi vehicle in my 03. Nissan matic D is listed on the back as one of the fluids it meets the requirements of. I replaced the fluid in mine with it 3 years ago and it runs great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01Pathmaker Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) I've been running synthetic dextron/mercon since the first change @ 30k miles, I'm now around 185k miles, no transmission issues to report. I did the first fluid/filter change at 30k, 2nd at 60k, 3rd at 100k, 4th at 150k, I'll do another at 200k. P.s. I've owned it since new in 01 Edited February 27, 2019 by 01Pathmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
