Transmission flush at 30k, need it again at 50k?

I had a transmission flush (automatic) at 30k mile 1 yr ago. right now the car hit 50k and the tran oil level almost hit the minimum line. Do I need to do another transmission oil change soon? Or do I need a power flush again???

did you check when the car was idling?

i believe you're supposed to check ATF while the car is on

Isn't that cap bolted down? I have yet to check the fluid level on my car and I remembered reading on the forum that it doesn't come with the dipstick.

Ok, did a quick search. I guess the dipstick is there, just have to unscrew the bolt. 03 models are the ones that doesn't have dipstick.

Yes, I did.

I drove 30 mile before I checked with the Hot indicator line. Oil level is at the minimum line. My question is...Do I need to add more?

Your warranty requires that you maintain all fluids at the correct FULL level for a reason.

nissan/infiniti reccommends you change every 30k miles. more than likely the last time you had it serviced, when they checked the fluid they checked it cold and it was showing full. as the vehicle warms up, the fluid will get pumped through and show lower on the dipstick. i say go add half a quart and drive it untill youre due for your next service at 60k
