That way someone other than ME is at fault if it all goes to blazes in a buggy and I can't be bothered to be stuck with such a filthy chore and a bin full of dirty gearbox fluid in my garage. I know labor will cost me but I consider that a "labor avoidance" fee, LOL. Plus, you can buy the actual Nissan fluid on Ebay or Amazon to keep the gearbox OEM and avoid the 100% markup that dealer's charge on any parts they supply.
Examples:
I have had every single oil + filter change done at my dealer but I have NEVER paid the dealer for the actual oil - I bring my own oil ($22.00 / 5 quart Mobil-1 jug at Walmart Vs $55 / 5 quarts at the dealer).
I NEVER pay the dealer $400 for a front wheel brake pads and another $400 for the rear wheel pads. I bring them a $225 Brakemotive kit and have ALL FOUR rotors and pads replaced for a $200 labor charge. Instead of paying the dealer $800 JUST for pads. I pay a little over $400 - and that includes new rotors AND pads!
I wanted my serpentine belt replaced. The dealer charges $175 and they supply the belt. I bought that same OEM belt from Infinitiu online for $40 and paid $65 for labor at the dealer ($105).
