Automatic Transmission Fluid

[SHANE666]

Guys & Girls

As the title states, what fluids have you guys been using for your automatic gearboxes? I have been looking for months for some definite answers or a sample of 3 or 4 I could choose from but I just can't find anything.

Penrite MHP ATF has popped up here and there. What else is there?

Cheers

Castrol Transmax Z.

It's the same gearbox as the Patrol and Navara.

Genuine Nissan ATF (not sure if it would be Matic D or Matic J with the R34), or anything that conforms to those specs like Transmax Z

[SHANE666]

Thanks guys. Much appreciated!

[SHANE666]

Anyone know where to get their hands on Transmax Z in Sydney??

[SHANE666]

I saw Transmax Z in Super Cheap Auto yesterday (while not looking for it), white bottle

I use some nice Valvoline Falcadore transmission fluid, was a nice change from whatever shit came out

How about don't be lazy and try Autobarn, Supercheap, Repco etc. They all sell it.

Castrol Transmax Z

ill have another look at Supercheap Auto next weekend...

Not being lazy mate, had a thorough look at all those major stores in my area, have been unlucky. Possibly different products are sold in different states in each of the stores.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Where is the dipstick for the automatic transmission fluid to be poured into or is there another way to put in new fluid.

Oh and that's for a rb25 neo det

You pour it down the dipstick tube.

Trans fluid is runny, and the trans dipstick tube is big.

The letters in brackets are the Nissan certifications. I use the Valvoline as its well priced and synthetic.

Nulon Synth ATF (C D J K) 66.50/4L = $16.60perL
Valvo Synth ATF (D J K) 49.95/5L = $10.00perL
Transmax Z ATF (D only) 76.50/4L = $19.10perL

If you're pushing the trans, use a synth, and think about a fluid cooler. Temperature kills ATF fluid. Synth fluid handles it better and a cooler is a no-brainer.
