Transmission fluid?

[Splinter]

I've read in a few different articles that you should only use Nissanmatic "C" fluid in your tranny, the Nissan book says use it or a suitable Dexron II fluid.

What have you used, and why?

I normally don't care about what I use. I normally buy my fluid from Walmart or Crappy tire anyway, but I don't really want to cook this tranny.

 

Also, what is the capacity of the tranny? I want to make sure I have enough before I start.

 

And yes, I did search it, but I don't have all day to read every article regarding trans fluid.

 

Thanks

Chris

Splinter,

 

The repair manual says the 2WD requires 8 3/8 quarts (7.9L) and the 4WD requires 9 quarts (8.5L).

 

According the flush instructions (http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=8817), you'll need about 12 quarts to pump empty, fill, pump empty again, and fill.

 

Sorry, I don't know what fluid to use. I posted a nearly identical question minutes before you.

Dexron III is fine in the AT.
