J-matic is now S-matic?
Just stopped by the dealer to pick up some tranny fluid. They told me that they no longer make J matic and he sold me S matic for $15 a quart ouch! Just want to confirm that this is the right stuff before I do a drain a fill.
This same dealer just told that it would cost 2k to fix my flashing airbag light and there is no way around it. I just did a search here and was able to reset it

from what i've read yes.
its liek $10 on mynismo.com
and the dealer quoted you 2k to fix it because they are replacing the airbag that threw off the light as a precaution. resetting the light will clear it yes but the light turned on when something with the airbag is wrong. Just letting you know if the same fault happens again or a third time, its time to replace that airbag.

If your application calls for Matic-J, you can go ahead and use the cheaper, albeit higher quality synthetic Amsoil ATF, which is compatible where matic-j is required.

Thanks guys... I'll stop by riverside infiniti next time I'm in the area and stock up on the s matic.
Not sure what triggered the airbag light, but if it is a bad airbag, I'm sure the light will come back. Keeping fingers crossed. For some reason I thought that airbags were covered longer than standard warranties.

JATCO the manufacturer of transmission provides the warranty to Nissan which then passes it on to you.
JATCO has a method of catching non compliant ATF by chemical analysis of ATF.
But generally this never comes into play since the warranty expires at 70k or 100k at extra cost.
$165 is cheap if it prolongs the AT life by even 6 months since 10 year life equates to $450 per year as the cost of using transmission.

I bought Matic J two months ago and they were about $12 a quart (before tax). Today I went to a different Nissan dealer and bought Matic S (they don't sell Matic J anymore) for about $11 a quart (before tax).
I asked the parts dept if I can mix Matic J with Matic S and the guy said absolutely. He said there were some additive they've added to Matic S but other than that he said it's the same fluid but with a new name.
