Excellent job my friend! Keep em coming!

[@TitanTown]

Thanks. Next up is 90mm throttle body install and Uprev Tune.

[@icecreamsikeyuhasz5689]

Nice video! Have done 5 or 6 spill & fills but its time to do a full service finally. '06, 138k miles but only occasionally towing motorcycles or quads, nothing too heavy. Thought it'd be more difficult but you make it look pretty easy. Thanks!

[@TitanTown]

The hardest part was getting the right bolts back in the right place on the filter.

[@JanYi2023]

Great video, that is what I wanted to see. Thanks

[@TitanTown]

Thanks for watching! 👍🙂

[@daoyang1562]

Hey thanks for the time and effort put into this video. Appreciate you pointing the different bolt lengths and nuts for the filter. I’m going to save this to use for my Armada. Sub’d.

[@TitanTown]

Thanks!

[@Chevy-hw6lw]

Your Titan is sweet , I like those headlights

[@TitanTown]

Thanks, I like the look but I had to install HIDS so I could see at night lol. The clearcoat also peeled off and I had to recoat them.

[@aaronally8276]

I also like the headlights, where did you get them? I also like the wheels you have but I’m having a hard time finding them to buy.

[@TitanTown]

@@aaronally8276 they are VIP MotoZ sinister black headlights. I bought them from eBay but they have a website as well. I don't recommend them they have had a lot of problems. Wheels are stock Pro4X wheels.

FLuid was in great condition

[@TitanTown]

Yes it was, which was good to see. I wanted to check pan magnets and filter and to make video for you guys

[@gaugebuseck3375]

Thank you

You're welcome

[@termite22912]

Thanks for the video I have a 2010 Nissan titan I didn’t know that I had internal magnets was thinking of getting a drain plug magnet 19 mm - ?

[@TitanTown]

I haven't seen drain plug magnets for transmissions, there are some available for the oil pan. I think the thread is the same but the bolt heads are definitely different sizes for the two.

[@xxenergyelecxx1977]

What type of synthetic ams oil do you suggest for my 2008 Armada with 184 k miles. Thanks for the tips.

[@TitanTown]

It depends on what you are looking for. For trans, the one in the video. Signature series Fuel Efficient. For motor if you do changes at OEM intervals use the 5w30 oe. If you want to go 1 year or up to 25 000 miles between changes try the signature series 5w30. I have all of the fluid changes on my channel and the ones that I used.

[@edacevedo7746]

You didn't mention the copper crush washer for the drain plug. It's the same one for the engine oil drain plug. At least for a 2013.

[@TitanTown]

Good point, i usually use mine a few times before changing it, but its a good idea to change it out. Where do you get yours?

[@edacevedo7746]

@@TitanTown I bought a 10 pack of Dorman from Autozone.

[@betocastaneda1597]

Hello, good morning I have a question, after I isolate the oil and filter change to the transmission, how did it work because there is the belief that after the oil and filter change no longer work well, what can you tell me about its titan, I have a 2004 nissan titan, I hope you can answer me and Greetings

[@TitanTown]

If you just do a drain and fill you should have no issues. People sometimes have issues with a transmission flush when the transmission has been neglected, because a flush can move dirt around and cause issues in other spots. Pull the drain plug, measure what you take out and refill that amount.

[@CodyOATV]

Just wondering what brand of filter/gasket you used? I have read about the ATP ones bulging out when the pan is tightened up. Leaning towards the Pioneer over the ATP but they are now the same company...Just want a good gasket that won't leak on me. I am pretty sure that is the ATP kit just wondering if its the B327 or TF327?

[@TitanTown]

I bought the NAPA kit. 1-5513. I didn't use the gasket just reused the OEM one.

[@CodyOATV]

@@TitanTown Hoping to re-use the factory one but don't want to be caught without one if I need it. That Napa part # is the ATP kit. Thanks for the info man

[@TitanTown]

@@CodyOATV cool that's the reason I bought the filter and gasket, wanted to have both in case I needed either when I had the pan off.

[@saibermaster]

after torquing my transmission pan to 70 inch pound I noticed the rubber gasket squeezing out the sides a little bit, is that normal?

[@TitanTown]

It might a little bit but not excessively. Make sure all bolt holes are lined up.

[@saibermaster]

There was another guy on youtube that put gasket maker around the pan on with the gasket, do you think that was necessary?

[@TitanTown]

No, if you are worried about it leaking, clean both surfaces and use a new gasket. I reused old gasket with no issues or leaks.

[@saibermaster]

@@TitanTown Roger that! Thank You!

[@crayshaunhenderson1265]

i was told i don't have a transmission filter so how many quarts of oil goes in the transmission pan 4 or 5

[@TitanTown]

You don't have a filter you have a screen. It is replaceable but also reusable. It you do a drain and fill you need about 4.5 quarts. If you drop the pan to clean the magnets or change/clean the filter screen then you need about 5.5 quarts.

[@frickeperformance]

How much fluid did your Titan take? The repair manual I looked at says 11 and 1/4 quarts. I didn’t see that man jugs on your tail gate?

[@TitanTown]

Drain and fill using plug only gets about 4.5 quarts out. If you drop the pan you get about 5.5 quarts out. You can't drain the whole system.

[@gutaroker90]

@@TitanTown You can drain the whole thing! Just a little more labor intensive. You spill fill, unhook line running to trans cooler and turn on the truck and push the fluid out. "Poor Mans Flush"

[@TitanTown]

@@gutaroker90 there are disadvantages to that. Nissan doesn't recommend a flush and if you run it dry you can cook your Trans.

[@gutaroker90]

@@TitanTown Absolutely, although if it is done properly way more effective for getting new fluid in. I am actually about to perform a spill and fill as we speak. I have a ton done to my Titan if you would like to see the mod list! Seems that you love the titan platform too :)

[@aaronkowalewski659]

Is there a crush washer for the drain plug? I've read that there is but seen videos where non are being used? I have an '08 Titan

[@TitanTown]

There is. I reused mine without a leak in this video. I replaced it on the next drain and fill.

[@aaronkowalewski659]

@@TitanTown awesome thank you. I just ordered some. Just bought an 08 and wanted to go through the fluids. New to the platform. Your videos have helped me do rear brakes, parking brake, exhaust, bdgt and cai.

How do you clean your transmission filter?

[@TitanTown]

Remove it and flush fluid through it or replace it.

[@jdub264]

Did you clean the filter and inside of the pan? If so, what did you use?

[@TitanTown]

I had a new one so I changed the filter. I just wiped out the pan with clean shop towels.

[@2fox76]

Manual says every 20k miles, you're getting that much time/K between intervals?

[@TitanTown]

In the video I am using kilometers. I have been changing fluid at 30 000km. This is the first filter change on my truck at >80 000km. I think the filter would have been good for another 30 000km.

[@2fox76]

@@TitanTown ok I knew you were using KM missed the part about doing a filter change. Didn't realize you could just change fluid at the set intervals which seems a little better now.

[@TitanTown]

Too much @$21.69 the Valvoline is the best alternative

[@bbhoustontx]

There is a factory sticker under the hood that says " only use nissan matic fluid any other fluid WILL cause damage" ..... sooner or later it will fail.

[@TitanTown]

That's BS. Nissan Doesn't make their fluids, they just want to sell you their branded fluids. Make sure it's the right type. I've been using AMSOIL transmission fluid 6 years and my transmission runs cooler now than it did with the factory fill. Heat will kill a transmission.

Have been using Castrol Multi Vehicle ATF for many years & its compatible with Nissan Matic J and S.
