Thank you for watching! Nissan recommends fluid change every 50,000 to 100,000 miles.

The tip that sets this fluid swap video apart from all the others is loosening those valve body bolts for a deeper drain. Huuuge tip (9:27) when i go to do this I'll be using this tip. But all that is missing is the process of refilling by pumping it in the fill port on the pan, cycling through gears for certain durations and reaching 102°F. For that part I'll be referring to other videos. I would have liked to see the way you like to go about that process though. Especially seeing as how you refer to AllData, which is awesome. I personally refuse to re subscribe to that service due to how insanely expensive it has gotten ever since my one time purchase of a 5 year long subscription for only $35 in '16 or '17. Those were the best days...

Hey this is the only video I’ve seen where they loosen the valve body to get that extra fluid out. I see the picture says long and short bolt, I’m just wondering why. Should I watch out for somthing when I loosen them? I want to do this step I just don’t want to mess anything up.

I love your videos! One of the few that have done g20 videos! Have you ran into a g20 with a egr valve getting signal with The car on the on position, an have continued flow when you turn it off? Trying to pin point the issue with out replacing the ecm...

Thanks for the support man! As far as the egr I haven't really ran into any issues with them, it could be that it's stuck open; maybe try to replace would be my guess

If it has a 7 speed automatic, it might be slightly different, but it should still have a filter. It might only be available through aftermarket

Hey man I have a vq35hr 2008 g35x I didn't drop the pan but about 5 quarts came out when drained it was over filled I added 4 quarts and it shifted better I'm going to drop my pan and re add 4 warts I believe you add 10 when u flush it since you get the oil in the torque converter?

@ERICSDIYGARAGE 2 жыл бұрын

Probably 3 plug

@IfflaMedia 2 жыл бұрын

i have a 110k miles 3 plug transmission i bought for a 2006, the 2003-2004 use a 3 plug harness, im gonna trash the 3 plug harness unless someone wants to take it, at the time of purchasing the transmission i didnt know there was a difference in the harnesses. 2005-2007 uses a single plug. i live in Austin Texas.

@blackmesaresearch2 2 жыл бұрын

2003 to mid 2004 uses an external TCM, which is located in the passenger footwell. The transmission needs more wires for this, thus 3 plugs. Mid 2004-onward uses an internal TCM inside the transmission, requiring only 1 plug. Stick with whatever your car already has or prepare for an insane rewire.

Please I have an issue with my INFINITI FX35 Gear box. it is hard to go in rear speed. any tip about the solution to implement? I'm thinking may be it is the valve issue. Because I have to accelerate to more than 3000 rpm for the rear speed to take suddenly. I was expecting to see the revision of that valve body. ANY HELP??? THANKS

I would tell anyone doing this to use a regular wrench to remove the bolts. They are prone to breaking if you use a power tool. Learning from mistakes doesn’t hurt though.

@ERICSDIYGARAGE 2 жыл бұрын

If it only does it when cold it cold be that the fluid it too dirty changing won't damage your transmission in my experience if your transmission doesn't shift or has shifting issue changing fluid can make it worse but if you don't change it now it will only get worse
