My 08 has 52k on the clock. Not sure if previous owner did any Tranny fluid changes so I want to do a flush. So has anyone used a Jiffy Lube or similar?

 

ARE YOU KIDDING? do not use them. There is a good DIY here on this site. Use the search button my friend.

 

I am actually interested as well cant find a shop that can do this for infiniti's

 

Just get it priced at any Nissan dealers in your area and go to the one with the best quote.

Used them before, they did good work on my cars. Just research them and see which one provides the best work.

 

Use the dealer for this.

 

^ yep! Or do it yourself..

infinitihelp.com

its pretty easy to do, almost like an oil change...

jiffylubed prob will not use OE fluids..

 

I'm overdue for an engine flush.

 

The problem with doing it yourself is that you're only draining what's in the pan and main body of the tranny. There's about 7 more quarts in the torque converter that you can't change by draining. Reverse flushing is what is recommended theses days. Changes all the fluid and runs fluid in reverse path to ensure all passages are cleared. This is what most shops will recommend if your pan isn't leaking or tranny isn't sliping.

By the way, I am not a fan of Jiffy Lube...mainly because they employ kids that don't know what the heck they are doing, nor do they care about other people's property (angry...party of one). But like what was said before, just do your research to find a good shop with qualified mechanics (typically what a dealership employs).

 

If theres one thing you should do at a dealer, it is this. Pay the extra money and have it done right. Do NOT **** with your transmission as these cars are finicky about fluids.

Also, smack yourself for even THINKING about Jiffy Lube. That place is HORRID.

 

Excuse me but, DO NOT USE JIFFY LUBE OR A SIMILAR SHOP!!
Those shadetree mechanics barely know how to change oil.....

 

After viewing a report video on Jiffy Lub a few years ago, I decided to leave their name out of my head for good. For those who haven't seen that video, Jiffy Lub horribly deceived customers by charging them for works that they never performed and parts that they never replaced.

 

AVOID all reveres flow machines.

Reason why I said earlier to use the dealer for this, is because the dealer only uses the machine approved my Nissan which use the cars transmission pump, to normally circulate the new fluid. They will also use approved fluids(Matic S)

You have to pay for like 12 quarts, I would call the dealers parts department and ask how much they charge for Matic S, and then add an hour of labor to that cost and that should be the close to the end cost. Its not that expensive.

Forcing the fluid to flow the wrong way is asking for problems.

 

So what do i do for my blinker fluid?
