Appreciate this info! This helped immensely with getting my level at the perfect amount.
Funny, how your wife standing there looking at you. Thank for great detail video.
Great video, thank you
Thanks for your vid, very details the pro way. I will have to copy your way to do my new old 2011 car soon, probably this is the 1st. time fluid change for the car 🤞. Hopefully can see more value vid from you ❤
thank you
thanks pops, you saved me a trip to the dealer
went smooth? any tips for the rest of us? notice a difference? thanks
Thank you very much for the detailed information.
Did you see where the fluid leaves the transmission and makes its way to the bottom of the radiator? I want to do this and add a transmission cooler. I know my valve body is likely toasted as I have the highly noted harsh shift from 3rd to 4th when the fluid is hot...
From what I understand - the valves in the valve body have to be replaced but almost nobody does so... I think Level 10 offers an upgraded valve body service - but - why even bother - I plan to simply ditch the 7AT and go with the Q60 RS 7AT with the much larger TQ converter..."Someday" right? ;-)
Appreciate the video - I live in a small town far far far away from any dealer and - with the ultra high turnover at the dealers - you're not getting the best/brightest working on the cars anymore.... plus - for whatever reason - they always want to hot rod my car - which I hate because I know they don't bother to warm up the car before doing so...
2007 Nissan 350z with 96k miles, thinking about swaping the Matic S fluid into the transmission hence replacing the Matic J
What are the actual torque specs for a Nissan 370z???
hey man thanks alot for this video, i just got my 2019 370 and i was looking forward to do all the basic maintenance myself. I was just confused about one thing in the video, why do you need the transmission to be at 140F? is this required? also do you wait to hit that temperature after u pumped in the new transmission fluid?
Manual calls for 140*. You fill up the transmission and a little more then get it to temp. With the engine running remove the level check plug. You want ATF to come out and come to a drip, then install the plug. There is not a dip stick. Nissan says this is lifetime fluid... NOPE!
@@RideWNC thanks for clearing up my confusion. Subscribed and liked🫡
Planning on having this done soon. I usually go to Infiniti. The shade tree was going to do it but now he's backing out. He recommended a transmission shop. They were talking about replacing the gasket and filter. Is there a brand of gasket and filter you would recommend?
I was planning to do a drain and fill. I have 5 quarts. Do you think I'll need more than that? They told me they could get me the filter and gasket for 50 but I know I can get it for less. I bought the car with 156k it currently has 219k Had it flushed at 167k and drained and filled around 195k.
www.ebay.com/itm/234092083902 Whatever you dump out you need to put more than that back in so there will be fluid to drain out when you check the level.
Hi, very nice and detailed narration, thanks you.
Just wondering why didn’t you use the upper fill bolt passenger side just above the pressure line, to refill it..
Any specific reason for that?
Upper fill are usually too difficult to get to. If you are pumping into the AT it is just as easy to pump the ATF into the level check hole in the pan. It would be nice if manufacturer would put the dip stick back.
@@RideWNC
Can’t agree more, why hiding a fill in bolt under ground..
I did several drain and fills the first time I changed my fluid at about 80k km. I'm at 100k km now and thinking about dropping the pan this time to clean the pan and check the magnets. Not sure if thst filter needs cleaning unless you have a lot of loose debris in there
The filter is just a screen. You probably don't need to replace it. You will be amazed at how much crap is stuck to the magnets. Do have a new gasket available if yours is brittle.
Put the filter ,pan in the dish washer. Lol I bet it come out hella clean. Or just wash with dawn soap
been thinking about doing this to my 2014 370z auto, but i have a few friends that did change the transmission fluid and all of a sudden the transmission sensor broke and only gear one or three works.
in ur opinion what caused the sensor damage and give us tips to avoid this from happening please, thanks man :))
Best tip I can give is; don't let those friends work on your car. It is not related. That is Iike saying,"I changed the engine oil and now the right tire keeps going flat. I am not changing my oil again."
If I am putting in a new valve body will I need to replace the filter? I can’t find it online any where. Also do I need to replace the transmission pan and the transmission pan gasket ?
That OEM filter should last forever. Just run it through a solvent tank and get it dry. Here is a replacement: www.ebay.com/itm/234092083902
How come did you check the level at 140F? I think you said 114F or 46C in your other video. I read on forms somewhere that it should be 104F does the temperature matter??
"ATF temperature must be maintained at 95-113 degrees Fahrenheit during ATF level check. If the ATF temperature is above 113 degrees F, stop the engine to allow the ATF to cool down." I don't see where it matters that much as long as it in not cold and is flowing through the system. I doubt it expands that much at highter temps. When I check the level, I don't completely drain every drip out of it. When the stream of ATF slows, I put the plug back in.
@@RideWNC Thank you!
This video (czcams.com/video/tK3-G4rV0Xs/video.html) shows that between 140F and 104F there is something like 12mm diff on the dipstick (only on 350z, no dipstick on 370z). 12mm is also the difference between high and low level, so I think the temp matter.
Could you tell me the torque specs for the filter and pan? Thanks
It has been a while... I have moved. My shop manuals are somewhere buried in a 40 foot shipping container. It is easy to google a manual. 2009 -2020 are the same car.
@@RideWNC I found everything beside the filter bolts.
@@julianpeden4688 I think they are the same as pan. 9-10 FTLBS. Use a smaller inch pound wrench. It will save you from over tightening the bolts.
@@RideWNC thank you so much your my savior! One quick question though, once everything is sealed back up and all the new fluid is back in, you turn in the car and let it idle till temperature, then re open the fill plug and once it’s done draining you just reseal it and job done correct?
@@julianpeden4688 That is the worst part. The cars has to be running when you climb under and remove that plug. I don't like being under a running car. The vacuum from the engine will keep the correct level of ATF any excess ATF will drain out. If this is done with the car off, It is the same as draining the pan, just from a different hole. If nothing comes out, you need to add fluid until it starts to come out. This is why I over fill. Overfilling won't hurt anything as long as you don't drive the car.
Hi Mike
140 degree F is the temperature of the fluid when do the level check you get it from maintenance manual? Thanks
Yes. Manual. I am sure running for ten minutes would be OK.
What would you say about changing it at 68k miles? I don't think it's ever been changed but that's what I'll assume.
I personally think you should do it. Those magnets are going to be full of sludge.
@@RideWNC Thank you
hi, IAT stand for check Transmission temperature?
Question for you, why did you only add 6 qts? Nissan calls for 9.75.
You replace what you drained out and a little more. Get the car to temperature then check the level. If there is too much, it will drain out. You do not want to over fill a transmission.
Hello I had a question can you please help
Just did mine I dropped pan reinstalled pan filled it 157k miles I didn't clean the filter or removed it can it be bad?
The filter is just a screen. You can see through it when it is off.
Do i need new oem crush washers when putting the 24 bolts on?
There are no crush washers.
i’ve got a 2013 370z 7at, fbo and tuned, 102k miles. never changed. should i do a change? where can i get oem trans oil?
I personally would do it. Then I would do it again in 10K miles. The cheapest place I find Matic-S is eBay.
@@RideWNC okay thanks. where can i get the filter?

I changed my fluid in my g37 added 5 quarts and i let it run till it was hot 100 plus degrees is it normal that a lot of fluid came out the filler like maybe half a quart or less
If you dropped the pan, it should take just over six quarts. I don't have enough info on what you did to give you an answer.
@@RideWNC i just drained the pan I didn’t remove it at all and filled it with 5 quarts seemed like a lot came out the fill tube just wondering if it’s normal don’t know much about the g37 just got it
@@maniacmachanic9870 If you just drained the pan, that is about 3.5 quarts, so yes a lot would come back out. It is always best practice to drop the pan. There is sludge on the bottom of the pan which needs to be cleaned up. You also get more new fluid in the system when dropping the pan.
@@RideWNC ok thanks i was going to do that its sealed really good doesn’t leak I always have problems with other cars leaking from the transmission pan just didn’t want to remove next time I service it i will thanks for the help
@@maniacmachanic9870 When you buy theAT kit for this car, make surre the pan gasket is rubber. It will never leak. Watch about time point - 11:30 of czcams.com/video/E1y1inE0FZ0/video.html
Did you reuse the gasket?
Yep. Twice now. It is a durable rubber gasket.
How do I figure out the torque specs for filter and pan
Google Service Manual for your car. Zcar.com
@@RideWNC i have a z cant find them torques is there a better link?

Just use German specs. Gouden tite
What is the torque specs on the oil pan for the transmission?
Your voice doesn't match your face...lol..thanks for the vid
