Wow; that's a bunch-My owners manual doesn't specify; but service manual shows you how?? I asked my dealer & they told me 50-60k,,, I know how hard I run my ~Z~, so I did mine at 50 & plan on doing a single drain & fill every 10 ( to keep it clean) only about 3.5 quarts come out when you drain (level ground) more on ramps.
I recommend that you contact your local dealer or trusted tranny shop ; maybe Level 10 or someone like that & get their opinion. I've been working with hydraulics a long time & your fluid can't be too clean::: but there are places/ shops that will tell you that your tranny may go out if you service it, because it will break loose some potential caked on dirt;etc...If you have it flushed; be sure they use a good machine or run it I between drain and fills... Mine took about 12ish quarts to get really clean....& I used Valvoline Max life Nissan S-matic approved

LOL, yeah they're a lot of miles on my car. I'm the third owner so I'm not sure if it has been changed or not.

See, that's the part that always confuses me when they say you shouldn't change it? So as long as I go to a reputable place, I should be good?
