      This is not a dumb process. It it designed so that you have to bring it to the dealership. They don't want you do this at home. That's how they make money, very smart engineering.

      @@kennyg9149 engineering something to make a dealer money is in fact dumb from a engineering perspective. If you fail to understand/appreciate that you must be someone who doesn’t work on his own vehicle. I am a person who can handle anything a dealer can so it’s whatever to me. But stating this is brilliant engineering wise is just a short sighted ignoring view. Stealerships ripping people off isn’t brilliant nor appreciated.

    At least it's not like some of these newer cars where you need to use a scan tool just to do a drain and fill, but still annoying that they don't give you a fill plug at the top of the trans or a dipstick.

  • @kevin6562
    @kevin6562 Год назад +6

    There’s a plug in the front/top of the transmission where the fluid drops straight into the pan so you won’t need to force it into the drain plug with a special tool. I used a garden sprayer with the attachment removed and pumped it down the hole into the pan.

    This is very insightful and I appreciate you documenting it. I'm looking at buying a 2012 and was curious what type of work went into doing this. No dipstick is a huge bummer.
    I was curious though why so much fluid came from the fill plug. As far as I was aware hardly any if anything should come out of that plug, or is that normal?

      @@christophermcsherry2655 According to the service manual, you put 3 liters in, drain, then fill it up again with 3 liters, then drain. Final step is to add 3 liters and make sure temp is 104 degrees F. As soon as it hits that temp, you crack open the overflow plug and let it come out until a trickle. With this type of design, temperature is everything. Too hot or to cold can affect level. Make sure vehicle is level. If it doesn't drip out or pour out, then you probably got to add more.

    Question: It looks like you had just changed the pan as well (Still showing the very clean part number sticker on the pan). Was this a double flush you were doing you mentioned the fluid was quite dirty, how can that be as I assume the fluid was changed when the pan was replaced. I'm asking because you mentions some shifting issues. Was that before or after the pan changed. Thanks for the great vid. Very helpful.

    • @tazsfixes8368
      @tazsfixes8368  2 года назад +1

      Hey Marc, you are correct this video was recording the 2 time I changed the transmission fluid. Originally (2 months prior to this video) I drained the fluid , dropped the pan and replaced it . I only did this because Infiniti refused to change the transmission fluid saying the pan was sooo rusty the bolt might not go back on and seal. They wanted $1100 to change the pan and fluid. I thought that was way to expensive and bought the pan and seal from them for about $120 fluid was maybe $70-$80 and changed it. Even after doing it once before you can see the fluid is still pretty dark considering there is about 12-13 liters in there. When you drain it not all of it comes out. I personally do not suggest “flushes” which push all the fluid out as I had a transmission fail on me after it.

    • @tazsfixes8368
      @tazsfixes8368  2 года назад +7

      As you mentioned there is no dipstick so As shown in the video you have to open the drain bolt (once up to temp) and watch the fluid drain . Once it starts to bubble close the bolt and your now at the correct level. This is really dumb process on Infiniti, putting a dipstick would be sooo much simpler and easy.

      @tazsfixes8368  2 года назад +1

      this is another great debate car guys have. If your fluid is too far gone it’s actually got friction material helping your transmission shift. It should never really get to that point but if regular maintenance is avoided and your kind of cornered. No one can say with certainty what the state of your clutch plates are without looking at them as it depends on many variables. I think 113k you should still be good to do a drain. This will introduce some new fluid helping cool and lubricate the transmission but this thing has like 14liters in total so it will dilute with the old.

      Your a clown 😂 🤡 they include enough oil to drop the pain or drain the pan TWICE. Only 40% of the oil come out when you drain the pan… the remaining 60% is in the torque converter, oil cooler/radiator, cooler lines, and residual. So your intended to use the 10 qts twice, in a primary change of 40% and a secondary change after a few hours driven. The new ATF mixes with the old and you drain again and replace with the remaining 5 qts. You then heat the trans to operating temp, and cycle the shifter, verify if more oil is needed, or allow to drain until at proper level as seen in this video. If you seriously put 10 qts in your car 12 days ago then I’m sure your trans has already is about to blow up 🤡

    Somebody please help me out, I recently bought a g37xS with 157k miles with no known history of fluid changes, other than engine oil. So can somebody tell me if it’s necessary to do a ATF change on my car? It’s a 7 spd and I’ve seen way too many people saying you shouldn’t do this for some reason

    where’d you get the pump from and the nissan fluid , online?

    • @tazsfixes8368
      @tazsfixes8368  2 года назад

      Best place to get the fluid is at a Nissan dealership, the pump came be found at any automotive shop, I got mine at Canadian tire for like 15 bucks. I highly recommend a transfer pump, it’s about the same price but less messy , here’s one on Amazon
