Matic-D Matic-J?
After 4 1/2 years, I just noticed that the service booklet (the little one with the service/mileage columns) states to use Nissan Matic-D fluid. But the dipstick says to use Matic-J. WTF? I always thought J was the right stuff (I have a case in the garage), but now not so sure. As far as I know, the dealer has always used J during the flushes at 30 and 60K.

JATCO requires the special ATF to work with their new [2002] dual lockup clutch. They refuse to warranty tranny to Nissan if they find non compliant ATF. Nissan likes to get repaid so they passed the burden on.
This ATF has a very different stick/slip curve from Dexron III e-g similiar to new Toyota/Honda.
Dexron can be modfied to closely emulate the characteristics via Lubeguard Black additive................close but not the same.
Several companies make Nissan Matic J compatable fluid. The ones that full comply are Subaru ATF-HP, Idemitsu ATF-HP, Castrol Transmax J or Pennzoil ATF-J.
