DIY: Transmission Oil Change

LinPark · 03-10-2016, 07:18 PM

Ordered everything I need from Z1 recently and am planning to put it all to use this weekend. I had planned on doing this a few months ago and stopped in the Nissan dealership to pick up the gaskets and of course all they had was 1 in stock - I bought it anyway. I also got 4 from Z1 - here's a pic of both of them together:

The Nissan dealer part looks more like what is on the drain plugs in pics that have been posted in this thread and the DIY Differential thread. Should I seek out 3 more of the OEM gaskets or is it safe to simply remove the old one and go with the copper style Z1 washers?

Edit, looks like z1 is supplying copper washers in place of the aluminum ones. I've done my trans fluid twice now. Reused the washers both times.

Those copper style washers look very similar to the ones for the power steering. They're probably fine, but I would go ahead and try to find the OEM gaskets/washers. But that's just me ... YMMV
