anyone here check there OWN TRANNY OIL?

Automatic tranny should have a dip stick but the manual does not show one.

Service and Maintenance manual says "Automatic transmission fluid for the 370Z is maintenance-free."

Manual Transmission has a drain and a fill plug. Oil level should be up to the fill plug. Differential oil is usually the same.

Supposed to check both after 15k and replace after 30k.

WTF... Check for what? Do you need to remove the oil to check it?

Must have a big reservoir or it's not going to last much more than 100-150k. There must be a way to empty and fill it though. I think it might be time to crawl under the car and start looking.

The manual transmission takes about 3.5 quarts. You are supposed to change it about every 30k miles, or sooner if you track the car. I change mine at about 20k.
