The tranny hack for most suv and cars at the tranny cooler or oil radiator line the out dumps into a jug and keep adding new oil till it’s bright red First use gravity then turn on engine ALL OIL GETS CHANGED In one service Heavy machine mechanic taught me this and I have saved my transmission 1996 still going strong 180k miles

[@lesrinehart933]

So your changing the fluid from the pan and not dropping the pan and cleaning it and not changing filter and gasket and not clean the magnet. Job not complete!

[@tovie6641]

Question, Why are you using DEX-IV if the manual calls for DEX-III/Mercon-III

[@jimmybrain9237]

Hot tip. Just weight your oil pan before and after for the oil quantity.

[@1AAuto]

+Jimmy Brain Thanks for the feedback!

[@couchgaming5577]

Is it the same process for the 5 speed manual?

[@chassidyharvey8151]

I have a 2002 nissan sentra gxe and it has 253k miles. I've drained and filled it before but never had a filter change. Is the filter even serviceable? I heard you have to drop the valve body in order to change the filter

[@Kalikazoo]

On the VQ35DE motor the filter is accessible as soon as you drop the transmission pan. It’s held in by one bolt and is serviceable. I’ve heard that most vehicles only need 1, maybe 2 pan drops at most throughout the lifetime of the transmission barring no other issues and depending on mileage of course. Remember not to flush these old transmissions! At most only do a pan drop, it’s better to do a drain and fill as to not introduce too much pressure to the aged system via flush, potentially reducing clutch friction and loosening built up gunk, or hurting an old o ring/seal.

[@on1ytheb3st]

What would be your recommendation for checking the fluid hot or cold. Depending on how far I drive I get a lot of variation in my reading. My assumption for cold would be after the car has been sitting for an entire night then start it up and check. For hot I’ve heard a lot of opinions, my pathfinder is the 2002 LE model with auto trans

Thank you Guys for the prefect Video how to change Transmission Fluid. Do it yourself only. Never go to any Oil change station because they will Flush your Transmission oil by dirty Flushing machine or they will put wrong Oil into your Transmission...I saw how they put Transmission Fluid into Engine by mistake. They have many oil Guns 🔫 ther.

[@jesusc3625]

I have a question. How much drain and refill will it have to take to get all the bad fluid out? And changing the filter, do you have a video on that? Thanks

[@olivi3339]

IMPORTANT: Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.

[@okiedokie8534]

Thank you. This video helped me.

[@sabastianevans9517]

Shot in the dark but my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder is missing it's transmission dip stick where can I get one or what are the measurements for it because I can't find it anywhere online

[@dannymartinez8522]

How many miles is recommend to change filter? I see it was changed on this occasion

[@daedalos5132]

You don't need to change the transmission filter?

[@ligon29]

There's not really much of a filter in there, just a mesh screen and magnet on the bottom. Change it if you like.

[@tstscorpion]

not too informative video, you don't even show the type of fluid (the video is about pathfinder) so why "check your manual"? also, what about replacing the crush washer and what size is it? what about letting ALL the fluid come out? just my 2 cents!!!

[@danshiva1014]

I have an 04 pathfinder with almost 86k miles should I change the trans fluid it drives good and doesn’t slip

[@1AAuto]

+DANSHIVA 101 Thanks for checking us out! Most manufacturers recommend replacing transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. At 86k it would be good to get this changed even if it is still running smoothly to prevent any possible damaged from the over used fluids.

[@sunbird4391]

I'd wait for 100 000 miles and do the change..my opinion

[@Checheno24]

Thanks 🙏

[@زايدالثقفي-ز7ح]

Good.... wat ltr oil ?

[@truthbetold89]

What kind of transmission fluid did you use for your pathfinder? I have a 2000 with the 3.3 engine but I don't have the car manual

[@1AAuto]

+human We would suggest contacting a local parts store or the dealership with your VIN to verify the fluid required for your specific application. Thank you.

[@truthbetold89]

1A Auto Parts well do, thanks for replying

[@adenclark5975]

Hey man did you find out? I’m trying to figure it out atm cause my transcooler broke in the radiator so have to service everything

[@Anthony.W.]

@@adenclark5975 The best atf is Amsoil multi vehicle signature series (oem Matic D). Good luck

[@tristanoliva]

I was taught to let it drain until it’s a drip before putting the plug back in.

[@415sfg]

is it the same thing for a 2004 xterra?

[@1AAuto]

+415sfg We currently do not have an auto repair video specific to your vehicle. You might be able to apply some of the basic steps shown in this video to your application. Hope this helps you out

[@fernandomorales4691]

Mine does not have the dipstick so how i pour it in

[@girlchild0515]

Need help pls, just changed my gear box, bought new transmission fluid but it's still not in good working condition. The dashboard is showing A/T oil in red. My mechanic to me is not sure of what he's doing. The car is still jerking, taking time to select gear and issues. Pls help a friend.

[@Killian665]

Things fucked. Needs a transmission.

[@TmP45]

So can the fluid leak on the starter if it has a leak?

[@kelviin07]

That’s the rear main seal

[@tyronekitchens4245]

SO,You don't have to change the filter????

[@themoon-cy7rq]

Um thank you for your help with it 👍👍👍😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜

[@wickedvids3920]

What type of oil for a 04 pathfinder se?

[@1AAuto]

Hello Wicked vids, this information can be found in the owner's manual.

[@destinyachieved4599]

@510eroc Dexron III or Nissan Matic D

[@johningardia2088]

Why is it a secret which fluid a 96- 04 Pathfinder uses

[@destinyachieved4599]

Dexron IIII, Nissan Matic D J S all are good

[@grimjaw5862]

I thought was the oil dip stick

[@Killian665]

Oil dipstick is on the driver side.

[@anthonyl1200]

That's not what the 4x4 trans looks like

[@juliodiaz4952]

why didnt you change the oil filter?

[@harmoniousembodiment7203]

Would be much more helpful to clarify in title if its for a manual or automatic transmission.

[@randyholloway6132]

Worst video frm 1a auto
