Thanks... it is my experience that the red seats are "love 'em or hate 'em". I love them. My dealer only had 2 LE Sedans and neither were AWD. Plus... I live in SoCal... not a priority.

With the 5AT it is not sealed off. I am getting mine flushed soon by a neighbor that is a mechanic. All I have to do is buy the OEM fluid. The 7AT I know is a different story. Makes me happy to have the 5AT!

Oh, and as for what to buy, get it from dealer. It's about $10-12 a qt. Most flush machines need 16 qts and the car holds I think 12.

on the 2008 g37 coupe there is a dipstick in the top of the engine in the middle between the battery and the brake fluild. This is for the tranny fluid correct? Also can I fill it at the same spot. auto transmition

^^ you cant really feel through the dipstick, i believe you need to use a pump to get the fluid back in. I guess you COULD fill through the dipstick but it will take you a lifetime

If ur willing to pay 12 bucks a quart and it takes about 16 to fill, and also paying ur mechanic on top of that, might as well take it to nissan dealer n have them do it. I had mine done at a nissan dealer for 169.

Used 2013 7at IPL. 33k on the clock. Should i have mine done? Everything feels smooth even the rev match down shifts in Ds mode. Or Should i wait to 50k or so?. Also should i do the rear diff? I just did the engine oil

I'd do the rear diff now and wait until 50k for the ATF, here's a DIY on the ATF change, and there should be a diff change DIY in that section too.
