How to change 5 A/T Transmission Fluid?
Does anyone know where we would drain the oil?

Its better paying for a full tranny flush rather than just replace the oil. It'll cost about $200 but its the best thing for the tranny.

Just got it changed. It was a straight 4 qt fluid change. I am only at 24K so a tranny flush is not necessary.

I found the plug right under the center of the car.

Make sure you use Nissan J-Matic fluid, or Infiniti could say it voids the car warranty if they find out you didn't and later have tranny issues.

I have to agree since you can only drain 30-40% of what is there without a flush.

The tranny holds 12 quarts of fluid...so you didnt get much of a fluid change
