Oh come on, a 5 second search of this site will bring up more information regarding ATF and transmission care than almost any other topic discussed since the forums birth.

I honestly just searched for about 30min and only came up for results for 97plus q45's.i mean if I'm overlooking something a link would be helpful.

Nissan Matic "D" or Dexron II fluids. Dexron III is backward-compatible as are Nissan's Matic "J" and "K" fluids. Standard Dexron/Mercon ATF is just fine.

You can search the internet for text on JASO-1A performance standard -- then it is a matter of budget.

JASO-1A performance standard created was by Japanese Automobile Manufacturers. This standard is recognized by Japanese OEM's in certifying ATF for use in their vehicles.

M1 with 6 oz. of LubeGuard Red (not black!).

Mechanical exchange or drain and refill?

I'm gonna do a homebrew drain and refill along with a new filter and transmission cooler.

If you don't have a history on this transmission you should go to a shop that can flush the transmission completely out. If not, you'll only get about 50% of the current fluid.

Actually, you will be adding new fluid to the expired 60%+ remaining in the TC and gear set.

Still better than doing nothing.
