The unit is a Jatco RE0F05A N-CVT Transmission,used in this car model from 1992-2000.I thought Dexron IIIH wasn't introduced until 2002/2003?

Thanks.This is straight from the owners manual. 'N-CVT Fluid= Nissan Genuine Matic D Fluid or Equivalent'. 'Contact your Nissan Dealer for recommended brands of ATF Dexron IIE or Dexron III'

Thanks for the replies.I can get this product for less than the Matic D https://www.commaoil.com/passenger-vehicles/products/view/191 Yes,this N-CVT transmission calls for Matic D,or Dexron IIE,or Dexron III fluid and was originally used in the Subaru Justy

Has anyone used/have experience with the above product.I am thinking of using it in my Nissan K11 Micra/March 1.3 N-CVT.It calls for Nissan Matic D Fluid or Dexron IIE,Dexron III.The Nissan Matic D is very expensive,the Mannol product is actually very reasonably priced,however i don't want to...

Like it or not,the N.A.D (National Advertising Division) has designated all Group III, and IV base oils to be fully synthetic.

So,could i use this Shell product in a 1985 European Ford Escort https://www.shell.com/motorist/oils...ke-motorcycle-oil/shell-advance-ax7.html I read somewhere that 4T Motorbike oils were more shear prone than PCMO?

Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40, and Motul 8100 X-cess 5W-40. Motul Approvals BMW LL-01 MB-Approval 229.5 MB-Approval 226.5 Porsche A40 Renault RN0700 under N° RN0700-10-70 Renault RN0710 under N° RN0710-10-43 VW 502 00 - 505 00

The N.A.D (National Advertising Division) has designated all Group III, and IV base oils to be fully synthetic.The talk of 'fake' synthetics sounds a bit silly now,especially considering that over 70% of base oil use worldwide is now Group III.I could care less if a product is Group III,IV,or...

Just because a wax based product lasts longer,it doesn't automatically make it better.Wax based products are no good on surfaces with light/medium rust, when compared to an oil based product.The wax will not continue to penetrate and be active after it's solvent has evaporated.Oil based products...

Originally Posted by Popsy Different oils for different applications, also different part of the world I'd say. I wish I could get the SHU 5W40 here, but can only get the T6 in 5W40 or 0W40, sadly. But it's good to know I'll be able to find the 10W60 at every Maserati dealer You can get 5...
