I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for tuning in to DWG 👍🏻

my 05 350z at 114k miles auto trans fluid was prob never changed before, it started shifting so slow and super rough at 3rd and 4th, sometimes wouldnt shift to 5th on the highway. really scary just having 4th gear on a highway going 65+ mph and youre already at 4k rpms, shift slips at 4th gear after cold start, manual mode didnt work and it was just bad after driving on a cold start. i did a drain and fill with 4 1/2 quarts with oem nissan trans fluid from the dealer and shifts are remarkably smoother, 2-3 shift is not as grabby and 5th gear works!! the trans fluid didnt look burnt or black it was brown/pinkish. thanks for the video it helps a lot!

should you only drain and fill once at a time ?

@DoWittGarage

10 ай бұрын

I’d say you COULD drain/fill, drive for a little while, then do another one. But I feel like that would negate the purpose of trying to retain any suspended clutch material in the fluid by replacing too quickly. I personally am waiting between 2,500-5,000 miles between these first three, then every 30k after. Thanks for watching DWG!

@DoWittGarage

​@@jrdiaz4032 good question! There are none. This transmission has a metal filter screen that is good for life.

1. Did you jack up your car or were you able to drain atf without jacking it up? 2. Did you warm up atf before opening the drain bolt? 3. How much quarts of old atf came out?

Question is your transmission a closed one

Question young man do I need to replace the filter in the transmission or just drain or fill will be ok

Good question! The transmission has a lifetime filter screen in it. Just a drain and fill will be fine. For reference, mine has almost 220k miles and the transmission has never been opened. Thanks for watching!

What other fluids can be used ???

You should check fluid level with engine idling

Correct, idling and in park while warm.

I have a 2006 FX45 that Im wanting to do a drain and fill. It has the 5 speed, and I was wondering if your Infiniti has the same 5 speed transmission. Thanks. 😊

I’m frankly not sure, but I believe the G35 and 350z shared drivetrain with the FX35, thus making them likely different. However, I would suspect the process to be similar.

Do you happen to have the link of where you bought your trans fluid from?

I would certainly recommend completing a drain and fill procedure, preferably three spaced between 2,500-10,000 miles. Your transmission fluid should be bright red.

Question, I had a shop perform a transmission oil change. I did not know that it had to be done with OEM fluids. I am not sure what they used but I am willing to bet it wasn’t OEM. Car has 58k what should I do?

Hey there. I am assuming you have an automatic transmission. I would check with the shop and see what oil they used for your swap. Not that other oils cannot be used successfully, but I generally recommend OEM fluid when it comes to transmissions and other high-cost wear items. Your car has such low miles that I would have the fluid replaced with OEM and then complete a fluid drain/fill every 25-30k. Thanks for watching!

@@DoWittGarage I appreciate the response here. Love your videos BTW. And yes, its a AT. So the shop used LiquiMoly ATF 1800. I checked the website and it is compatible with all vehicles that require Matic-S. I called 3 dealers and keep getting mixed responses. One dealer is recommending a full flush. The other is recommending a drain/refill twice. This will help the aftermarket fluid flush out. While the other is recommending just one drain/refill. I am concerned with a full flsuh which doesn't sound healthy and also concerned with having two different fluid in my transmission with just a drain/refill. I am at a loss and don't know what to do next. I don't mind spending the money to get it done right. It doesn't seem like anyone knows hat right is. I would appreciate your insight!

@DoWittGarage

5 ай бұрын

I appreciate you tuning in! LiquiMoly is a high quality product, however, our transmissions are picky about their fluid. Nearly all research I’ve done recommends using only OEM Matic-S. For your situation, the only way to remove all of the old fluid and replace with new is through a full transmission flush, as recommended by one of the dealers you called. One or two drain and fills will only dilute the LiquiMoly and new fluid. Since your transmission only has 58k miles, a flush should be just fine. Then, subsequent drain and fills every 25-30k miles for the life of the car.

Warm or cold will work. Warm lets the fluid flow better, but you have to be careful not to burn yourself on the exhaust.
