    Drove my 2011 Nissan Frontier 200k miles with a drain and fill of the transmission every two oil changes(8k miles), a super reliable truck that doesn't get it's due. Nice to see my Toyota friend here giving a Frontier some love!

    I believe that was a drain and fill not a flush.

    Is it ok to use Valvoline ATF instead of Toyota WS for my A750 transmission?

    Why didn't you drain the fluid out of the torque converter?

    I use MaxLife ATF in my 1995 Ford F-150 truck and also in my 2000 Toyota Sienna.
    I did a transmission filter change in the Ford truck ( 134,000 miles )along with a new pan ( $36.00 ) that has a drain plug.on it. The pan fit perfectly, but holds about a quart more fluid. Had to reuse the old magnet from factory pan.
    I changed the fluid four times in the Sienna, ( 168,000 miles ) no filter change.
    Both vehicles are running great. They both shift smoothly. I use the old truck to pull 3000-5000 pound boats from the lake and put them back into the lake. I've pulled these heavy boats up steep hills with no problem. The Ford has a 5.8 liter engine and 4 wheel drive.
    MaxLife ATF has proven to be good ATF fluid in my two limited test cases. My grandson uses MaxLife ATF in his Toyota 4Runner ( 260,000 miles ). MaxLife only cost $18.00 a gallon at Walmart. I would rather do drain and refills every 30,000 miles with a synthetic fluid than spend $8.00 a quart for non-synthetic OEM fluid that also requires changing every 30,000 miles.
    Some Toyota diehards claim using any fluid other than OEM ATF will harm automatic transmissions. Here is the way I look at it. A synthetic transmission fluid compatible with your transmission, that is changed every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, will handle heat better than non-synthetic OEM fluids. Heat is what kills automatic transmissions. Transmission life is inversely proportional to transmission temperate. As the transmission temperature rises, the life of the transmission is shortened by quite a bit. There are charts that show this.
    I have saved hundreds of dollars changing transmission fluids myself. The dealerships quoted $150.00 per drain and refill in my Sienna. Four times $150.00 equals $600.00.
    The Ford dealership wanted $450.00 to change out the filter, all fluid and install my new pan.
    I recently added a 2003 Toyota Tundra to my fleet of vehicles. I am changing all of the fluids in it. I use full synthetic Mobil 1 or Full synthetic Pennzoil in my oil pans. Both of those oils work for me. I buy which ever one is on sale at Walmart. I use Valvoline synthetic gear oil in the differentials, and MaxLife synthetic transmission fluids. So far, so good.
    I watch your channel to make sure I am doing these changes the proper way. Thank you for your videos. You explain your procedures well.

      Jack LaBloom ~ What transmission is in your '95 F-150? My '94 F-150 has the 4R70W trans with 130,000 on it so I'm only doing the pan drop and filter thing for now with MaxLife. Ya, got a new pan with a drain plug for the next time too! I'm just curious about your transmission. THANKS!

      Jim , my transmission is the E40D.

      I use the Maxlife on my two Nissans, BMW, and my Town Car and F150. All going strong. FYI you can buy a drain plug for $5 and put it on the OEM pan.

    • @Jim-ee6pz

      Jack LaBloom ~ Thanks. I ended up drilling a hole in my OEM pan (where a drain plug SHOULD be) to drain the fluid with less mess and then installed a new Dorman pan with the drain plug - Filled it with Motorcraft fluid and installed a new filter. There was no magnet in there! I welded in a drain plug to my OEM pan, cleaned it up and painted it with high temp engine enamel and sold it on eBay for $66. Now my trans doesn't have that hard shift from 1st to 2nd anymore.

    Nissan is very clear on using only certain fluid anything else will compromise the transmission and void any warranty

    • @Wrenchingdaily

      scotty s of course Nissan wants you to use their fluid...its more money in their pocket. Valvoline and all other aftermarket manufacturers fluids are fine to use as long as they meet the original(Nissan, Toyota, etc) equipment manufacturers specifications.

    Hello! It’s the same procedure for a Frontier D23 2018. ?

  • @rondhole
    @rondhole 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes, Maxlife Dex/Merc maxlife is very universal just like AISIN ATF6+, fits for almost all modern transmission including Toyota WS, IV, Nissan J,K,S, Honda, JW, DexronVI, Mercon V LV, etc.

    Test the fluid levels on the dipstick with the vehicle on and running?

    Is it okay to use max life valvoline ATF for my 2005 toyota corolla? Just wondering

    • @jgrm4443
      @jgrm4443 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, it's ok. In fact, the Valvoline ATF may be better than the brand name. I performed a real flush on my 2016 Toyota Tundra Crewmax with Valvoline, and 3,000 miled later, no issue at all.

    • @thedetective8150

      Follow Toyota specifications in your owner's manual. Many companies sell licensed and approved OEM ATFs but they also sell their own highly profitable and cheaply made unlicensed and unapproved OEM ATFs. MaxLife ATF is Valvoline’s own ATF formulation and not licensed and not an approved OEM ATF.

    Title must be Automatic Transmission fluid change. But This is not a ATF flush.

  • @fbowie21

    how many miles on the truck?

  • @chrisbattenevolutionisalie4623
    @chrisbattenevolutionisalie4623 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    its not a fluid flush , even the pan has 500ml that cant be drained because the plug is higher - you need to pump NEW fluid thru and remove about 10L OLD fluid - then you drive like a new car

    Is ok to mix my OEM fluid with the valvoline ?

  • @jgrm4443
    @jgrm4443 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Drain or flush? "Drain" and "flush" are 2 different words with different meaning. I am not a mechanic, but I know a flush when I see one. No matter how many drains you performed, it will not equal to a flush.
    Friend, good job on the drains.

  • @fbowie21
    @fbowie21 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    you will have to do it a few more times to get it all out but I am sure you know that

    nice video. is there a transmission filter in the Nissan frontier. I have a 2015 with 30 K miles and getting its first tranny fluid change.

    • @jeffflowers729
      @jeffflowers729 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They don't have a true filter in that they use just a "screen". There isn't or shouldn't be any large particles in the fluid that would get stuck in the fluid passages or valves that would need to be filtered out. A screen would take care of that. Of all the videos I see of guys doing this, the screen appears to be clean but they already bought a new one anyway. The dealer doesn't change them or even sell them to my knowledge.. You have to go to an auto parts store for aftermarket. The only reason you may want to drop the pan is to clean off the magnets.
