Hello everyone. I have a 2012 Nissan Versa hatchback with a 1.8L engine and a 6 speed gearbox. According to the owners manual the car is due for a tranny fluid change at 30000 miles. The specs are for a GL-4 fluid. Guess what the local auto parts stores do not seem to sell? How about the local Wally's World?....nope. The Nissan dealership wants $20 per quart for the OEM fluid, wow....really? More than likely while it is a quality product the fluid would cost $8 if it were sold at a parts store without the Nissan label on the bottle. If I am going to pay $20 per bottle.....I want some really good stuff. LOL
It would seem that I am stuck to buying from an online store. Amazon for example. I can get Redline for $17 a quart. There is Amsoil MTL but they want over $9 to ship two bottles of MTL. $9 shipping for that, really? I was in town visiting my dad who lived a few miles from the Amsoil warehouse. Guess what, you can not just show up and buy anything like a walk in parts store. You have to order and pay online. I had cash and was ready to buy the MTL on the spot but they would not sell it to me from the warehouse. Pennzoil seems to make the correct fluid but Amazon wants $30+ per quart for it and no store sells it locally. Napa, well they had no idea of the difference between the GL-4 and GL-5 spec and tried to sell me gear lube for a differential.
Where and how do I find the MTL for my car with a GL-4 spec, free shipping, and without a $30 per quart price tag? I tried Royal Purple and Mobil 1 and they claim via a phone call to not make a GL-4 fluid.
