Hello all,
First of all I want to thank you all for creating such a very informative site for the Nissan Pathfinder owners or enthusiast.The forums members are awesome.
Now I went to the dealer to purchase Matic J 6 quarts but he gave me Matic S for the price of matic j price. He hook me up with 8.88 a bottle. So now I have everything need to do the external tranny bypass.
My friend owns a all in one shop, where they do work on everything includinhg high end vehicles such as race cars,motorcycles and seen Tractor trailors in his place from time to to time.
Anyway installed the external tranny cooler, then did a tranny drain and filled. Then truck is running way more smoother than it was prior to all that I did.
I had took my Path to jiffy lube to do there full tranny fluid extraction service. They said they had the 4matic trans fluid. But I notice a difference right away. The tranny wasn't going through the gears as smoothly and it seems stressed.
But once I did the trans drain and fill with matic S everything is nice and smooth. I see a big difference
My last point is now I feel more confident that my trans will not blow. So for you on here who are trouble making the decision to do. I would its inexpensive mod that will safe you up the 8k in yhe long run.
