Posted this on a Maxima forum but haven't got a response so i thought i would try here.
I have a 2003 Nissan Maxima with a 4 speed auto. I did a drain and fill today in which 4 quarts were drained then filled. In reading the Maxima.org forums it seems that the drain and fill method was the preferred as opposed to dropping the pan. I filled with Mobil 1 multi vehicle ATF which I believe is a synthetic blend. Checked the fluid and it looked pretty good. I would like to do another drain and fill just to be safe. My questions are:
How long should I wait to do another 4 quart drain and fill? Do others complete this all at the same time or do you wait a couple of weeks? Not sure if there are advantages to waiting or not.
After that drain and fill is completed how my miles can I go before draining and filling again? (basically what is the change interval)
Thanks for your insight.
