I have about 41K miles on my truck, had a drain and fill done at dealer about 13K miles ago.. Did the trans by-pass a month ago and I took a sample of the oil and sent it out to make sure there was no Glycol what so ever mixed in.. Test came out "negative from wet chemistry"! :D
It showed the Nissan Oil was normal.. Heres the rest of the results maybe some of you can chime in cause it's all Greek to me.

My buddy owns a trans shop and he got it for me ($20)
They'll send you a vile.. Put the sample in and fill out the paper work and mail it.. Got the results back in about a week.
Now that I know theirs no antifreeze, I'm going to do the complete flush and get fresh fluid through there.

I'm actually from Spokane WA, but didn't know that company was there. I guess maybe next time I visit my parents I should stop by and see if they can do some testing on the spot.
