Surely a collosal failure from price stdpoint.
US Nissan parts dealers prices seem to vary widely throughout the country, the Matic-S $13/Q price from Courtesy is the same as their Matic-J, both fairly expensive. Cherry Hill Nissan in NJ quotes $10/Q for both J and S, I imagine if you find someone selling J for $6 or $7 the S price will be that also, best I've found locally is $125 for a Canadian 11 liter pail of Matic-S, about $11/Q. This tranny is still on warantee though so I'll be staying with the requested approved Nissan products, J or S.
I talked my dealer into giving me an ounce of the Canadian Matic-S to do a VOA on it, if I was in the US I'd get a bottle of the Matic-S and do the same just out of interest. If it starts at something around 6.5 cSt@100C it might be a winner in terms of improved economy, lower shear rate, etc.
