at trans fluid level

Wonka2581

Your answer is "NO" you cannot add it your self.. You must take it to the dealer here's why.

The dealer has to hook up the computer to the car and get the car to approximately 110F then they have a nifty little tool that they plug in to your transmission oil pan once they plug it in, it empty's any extra oil if none comes out then they will add oil and repeat till oil is drained out. Then and only then will they know for certain that the correct amount of trans oil in in the transmission. There is no dip stick only a special tool that is pre set to measure the oil level.

I went through the same issue when I installed my trans cooler. Hope this helps..

There is no special tool, the oil pan sets the correct level once it is at the correct temp you remove the level check plug and let the excess drain out.

Nissan's "nifty little tool" is not necessary

OP, all you need is a way to check the transmission temperature. The trans fluid will expand as it is heated. Once it reaches the proper temp, the fluid level should be even with the level check plug. Ideally you should fill it slightly more than full so that the excess drains out when it reaches temp. This way you know it's at the correct level.

Good time to install a temp gauge for your trans & then you can do the fluid changes yourself in the future
