2.4L

Through most of the Nissan forums i've browsed, i picked up that many people prefer or use Redline products (Redline MT-90 or MTL). I think I put Mobil 1 synthetic MT transmission fluid + lucas oil stablizer in last time b/c i didn't feel like ordering the redline fluids. It really depends on what's available and how much you're willing to spend. Not really sure if you can go wrong with any synthetic manual transmission fluid. You should do a search through Nico and see if palmerwmd has anything to say about transmission fluids cause he certainly has a lot of knowledge to share about motor oils.
