How Do You Change Automatic Transmission Fluid In A Nissan Pathfinder?
You should change the automatic transmission fluid in your Pathfinder every 25,000 miles if you operate it under normal driving conditions. Otherwise, if you operate it under severe conditions, you should change the fluid twice as often. Consult the vehicle owner’s manual to find the recommended transmission fluid for this vehicle. The following covers Nissan Pathfinder models from 1989 through 1995. Raise the front of the Pathfinder with ramps or a floor jack. Safely support the vehicle with wheel blocks and jack stands. Position a drain pan beneath the transmission. Use a hand drill to loosen the fluid pan retaining screws a little and completely remove the rear ones. This will allow the rear of the pan to drop and the fluid to drain out. Remove the rest of the screws and take the pan and gasket off the transmission. Clean the fluid pan and set it aside to air dry. Inspect the fluid filter or strainer at this time and replace it if necessary. Reinstall the fluid pan with a new gasket
