V35 Automatic Gearbox - What Type Of Fluid To Use

[thinktea]

Hi all,

I've just got myself a 2001 V35 250 GT sedan and was thinking of getting the automatic transmission checked out this weekend.

On cold days, it lurches from first to second if you accelerate hard but is ok thereafter from second to third.

Does anyone know what type of fluid the V35 auto gearbox uses?

Thanks.

Matic J from Nissan (partially synthetic)

or NULON GOLD which is a 100% Synthetic Replacement for MATIC J(And all of they're AT Trans Fluids)

about $70 from Auto barn for 4li.

It should also tell you what you NEED to have in there on the Dipstick at the far back of the engine. Dont put anything else in there as it will slip and will demolish your trans

oh and if your dropping the trans fluid and doing a service. only about 40-50% will drop, so you'll have to do it again in about 3 months(for best results)

just let the gearbox pump it out and fill it as it pumps out. just dont let it run dry

What about Redline MT-90 (75W-90) GL-4, thats what the guys in the US use. Im using it, gear box is smooth as

But thats for MANUAL not Auto
