Auto Gearbox oil change - when & what is the best.

[K370Z2]

My 2010 370Zed Auto has 38K on the clock, now out of warranty, due to my last dealership service being a complete disaster as they were looking for my previous 350Z & could not understand why there was a 370Z in the car park with my registration on it. I am going to start or over see my servicing from now on.

I believe the Gearbox Oil should of been changed at the last service, if not it can't be far away.

What is the Best oil to buy for the Auto box, always been of the opinion spend the money & use the best oils and filters at all times, i don't hammer the Zed & no track days planned.

 

So what is the best & recommended

You will require the proper Nissan Auto S Matic fluid for this auto transmission.

 

You will also require around 10 litres for a full fluid change if you include the torque converter.

 

I believe that Nissan state that this fluid is a fluid for life and does not require changing.

 

This fluid is expensive, however I have it in stock at the moment if required and good to go same/next day.

 

Just drop me a PM if I can help you further.

 

Alex.

Hi I need cvt fluid for my nissan murano it specifically says nissan ns-2fluid only. But is difficult to find.

No need to change the fluid on the automatic gearbox, it's for life. Extremely expensive, comes in 20 litres from Nissan only it's about £200-£300. Don't waste your money and time, it's extremely difficult to replace as well, I did it on mine when I've installed the gearbox oil cooler.

I know this is about 12 years after the last post, but I’m curious, does the “UK is for life, US is not” rule also apply to Japanese-imported cars? I’ve done a bit of reading (mainly forum posts lol) and saw that a veteran user ( @ZMANALEX ) says gearbox oil for UK cars is lifetime, whereas US ones don’t. Can anyone share how things stand for Japanese imports to the UK?

UK cars do not have an Auto tranny.

JDM auto cars come with fluid for life.
