Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / April 2005Questions About Replacing Automatic Transmission Fluid
I have a 2001 Sentra SE with Automatic Transmission. I am in Texas. The car has almost 60,000 miles on it. I want to replace the transmission fluid. Is it OK to do partial replacement by draining with the (drain) bolt? If I am going to do a partial replacement, is it OK to use the Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF and mix with the current fluid? Is it best to do a complete flush with dropping the pan? Is is the better to use Nissan ATF or Mobil 1 ATF? Thank you in advance for everyone input. ___________________________ e-mail: tranghp at excite dot com "> > The car has almost 60,000 miles on it.

No, drop the pan and put in a new filter too. > If I am going to do a partial replacement, is it OK to use the Mobil 1 > Synthetic ATF and mix with the current fluid? I have done that and had no ill effects. BUT you may consider using a service that sucks out all the fluid and replaces it. Theres still a LOT of fluid left in the convertor after you drain the pan. -Pete Thanks, Pete. I hear of the service that sucks all the fluid out and replace it. I might check around for a shop with that sevice before doing the drain with help of gravity. -- Trang )))))_______________________________ >> Is it OK to do partial replacement by draining with the (drain) bolt? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > -Pete |
