Changing the A/T Fluid (ATF)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: If using the vehicle for towing, the A/T fluid must be replaced as specified. Refer to Introduction of Periodic Maintenance .
  1. Drive the vehicle to warm up the A/T fluid to approximately 80° C (176° F).
  2. Stop the engine.
  3. Remove the A/T fluid level gauge.
  4. Drain the A/T fluid from the drain plug hole, then install the drain plug with a new gasket. Refill the transmission with new A/T fluid. Always refill with the same volume as the drained A/T fluid. Use the A/T fluid level gauge to check the A/T fluid level as shown. Add A/T fluid as necessary.

    : Refer to Exploded View .
    • To flush out the old A/T fluid from the transmission oil coolers, pour new A/T fluid into the A/T fluid charging pipe with the engine idling and at the same time drain the old A/T fluid from the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line.
    • When the color of the A/T fluid coming out of the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line is about the same as the color of the new A/T fluid, flushing out the old A/T fluid is complete. The amount of new A/T fluid used for flushing should be 30% to 50% increase of the specified capacity.

    A/T fluid grade and capacity

    : Refer to Cummins 5.0L Engine : Fluids and Lubricants .
    CAUTION:
    • If genuine NISSAN Matic K ATF is not available, Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF may also be used. Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic K ATF or Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty
    • When filling the transmission with A/T fluid, do not spill the A/T fluid on any heat generating parts such as the exhaust manifold.
    • Do not reuse the drain plug gasket.
  5. Install the A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
  6. Drive the vehicle to warm up the A/T fluid to approximately 80° C (176° F).
