      In my opinion, this is as far as you should go with an auto. It won’t get all the fluid out of the converter, but it gets most of it out and a flush can damage the transmission, so this works.

      @ed92374 5 років тому +1

      @@dannyjohnsonsgarage What I have heard to do a flush is you disconnect the line going to the transmission cooler, and start the car, use a container like a gallon milk container, drain a gallon and then turn off the car and fill a new gallon into the transmission. Then start the car again and drain another gallon, shut down the car add another gallon to the transmission. Then start it again and drain another gallon, shut it down and top it off at the dipstick (totaling approximately 12 quarts, the capacity of the transmission). Reconnect the line and now you have a total transmission flush (unlike the 5 quarts this poster drained).

      Hardstyler981 If you have a filter swap it out as well. They just pull off. As for flushing, the main concern is the machine will still have the other fluid in it and flushing applies pressure in a way that is hard on the seals. There are many videos out there about it. Check one out.

    Amazon has a jug of Idemitsu 5 quart of type S for I think around $45.00, I just drained out a 2008 350z and it had 6 quarts drain out into a clear measuring container, I’m thinking a little over filled on a previous servicing I’ll fill with 5 get it warm and recheck where it’s at, I’m in a little fear with 200k on it… sometimes old automatics don’t like being serviced.

    • @dannyjohnsonsgarage

      The transmission will hold around 12-14 quarts, you just won’t get it all out since it’s still in the torque converter. I’d replace what came out and check the fluid level when the car is idling and warm

    • @dannyjohnsonsgarage
      @dannyjohnsonsgarage  3 роки тому

      You won’t get all the fluid out by only draining it because a lot of it is still up in the torque converter and the cooling system. Flushes can damage the system, so it’s best in my option to change the fluid only, and then change it again a few months later to get more of it out of the system.

  • @BanjoTeam6
    @BanjoTeam6 5 років тому +1

    Would the world end if you didn't use the dealer brand fluid? Also, any magic to the shifting between N, R, N, D? ...sounds a lot like "up up down down left right left right B A select start". Also, do you plan on coming back with two more changes over the next few months to get through a full 15 qts to clean the whole system out? Great video. Thank you for the hard work and sharing with us.

    • @dannyjohnsonsgarage
      @dannyjohnsonsgarage  5 років тому +1

      Yes, it actually does matter on this particular car. You need to use the matic S or matic J. These transmissions must have the Nissan fluid in them or their fail rate is almost certain. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is. Even taking the car somewhere to have it flushed can ruin it for just that reason alone- extra fluid of another type being mixed in their machine if it wasn't cleaned out.
      I do not plan on any further changing of the fluid. It would be nice, but its close enough. Its been almost a full year and no problems.
      Thanks for watching :)

      @@dannyjohnsonsgarage Danny, quick question. Agreed on the S-matic. I bought 5 qts of Nissan S-matic and changed the fluid just as in your video. That's all pretty straight forward. The car is driving a lot better now. When I crank the ignition the car starts up fine but I get two lights. The check engine soon light comes on and stays on. The "check AT" light blinks for five seconds and then turns off. Any thoughts? I tried googling this and haven't hit on anything useful yet.

On the AT light I would think it’s a fault code, but good that it turns off. I’ve seen a few mustangs that have transmission computer issues and though nothing seems wrong with the transmission it disables the trans and has to be replaced

      Start by adding in the amount you lost, then checking it. That was the process I mentioned in the video. It could be more or less depending on how much you get out. It holds double or triple that amount, you just won't get it all out without removing the torque converter.

    • @dannyjohnsonsgarage
      @dannyjohnsonsgarage  6 років тому +2

      It really depends, because dry, it will hold about 12-14 quarts, but most stays in the torque converter, so you'll still probably only get about half of that out.

    So, however much fluid comes out of the pan is how much you re-add back to the Infiniti G35/G37? And it wont mess it up? It seems the previous owner of my G37 never changed it lol. I just dont want my transmission slipping.

      It depends on how much you can get out. There is a lot more up in the torque converter and throughout the system. It’s holds nearly 14-16 quarts but just draining it you’ll usually get 4-6 out. Just check on the dip stick once the car is warm and while it’s running

      Yes - this video is not a complete - it will only change about half the fluid - this guy is not a mechanic and quite frankly is not demonstrating the correct procedure to do a complete service.

      Stunt Driver you shouldn't do a complete atf flush unless you're willing to take the chance of having to rebuild your transmission
