  Q: How to drain and replace transaxle fluid and Automatic Transmission Filter on Nissan Quest?

  A: At the specified time intervals, the transaxle fluid should be drained and replaced. Since the fluid will remain hot long after driving, perform this procedure only after everything has cooled down completely. Before beginning work, purchase the specified transaxle fluid and a new filter. Other tools necessary for this job include jackstands to support the vehicle in a raised position, a drain pan capable of holding several quarts, newspapers and clean rags. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. With a drain pan in place, remove the drain plug, allow the fluid to drain fully, then remove the pan bolts. Note: Measure the amount of fluid drained and record it; when refilling the transaxle, start with that amount. Carefully pry the transaxle pan loose with a screwdriver and detach the pan and gasket. Carefully clean the gasket surface of the transaxle to remove all traces of the old gasket and sealant. Drain the remaining fluid from the transaxle pan, clean the pan with solvent and dry it with compressed air or a clean rag. Be careful not to lose the magnets. Remove the bolts and detach the filter. Install the new filter. Make sure the gasket surface on the transaxle pan is clean, then install the magnet and a new gasket. Put the pan in place against the transaxle and install the bolts. Working around the pan tighten each bolt a little at a time until the final torque figure. Don't overtighten the bolts! Lower the vehicle and add the same amount of new automatic transmission fluid that was measured through the filler tube. With the shift lever in Park and the parking brake set, run the engine at a fast idle, but don't race it. Move the shift lever through each gear and back to Park. Check the fluid level and add some, as necessary, to bring it to the appropriate level. Caution: Add fluid a little at a time to avoid overfilling. Check under the vehicle for leaks during the first few trips.
