DIY: Transmission Oil Change

7. Place the inlet hose of the siphon pump into your fresh container of oil. Start pumping...you'll notice it takes a bit of work to pump the viscous oil up into the transmission. The capacity is 3 quarts and I used a 50:50 blend of MTL and MT-90 since I live in Chicago and experience the hot and cold extremes. The mix will get you a blended viscosity close to Nissan's recommendation of 75w85 (MTL is 70w80 and MT-90 is 75w90). Pump until oil starts leaking around the pump hose from the filler screw hole.

I understand the mixing but the new mt-85 is actually perfect for the tranny. no longer need to mix.
