wouldn't be a bad idea to get the FW resurfaced... just for fun... don't know the actual cost of that, but I don't think it's too bad

you dont have to get nissan ATF... go to oreily and get the valvoline DEX/MERC its like 4.99 each.

infiniti dealerships use it on customer cars, I used it and haven't had any issues.

I was under the impression that you should only use the nissan ATF, but okay, good to know it's not imperative that I use it. I'll prob keep using it though since I don't wanna mix different fluids on my next drain and fill.

yeah, just saying... T3K (Jeremiah) said thats what they used in the shop all the time and never had a car come back. I also read on some google searches that other dealerships also use it. The FSM will never state that you can use substitutes because that wouldn't benefit the company in any way.

I'm not paying 14 bucks a quart when you need friggin 10 of them to do a complete flush/refill... thats insane.
