That was helpful. . .
It has been a trend with Nissan/Infiniti to require customers use one or another of their specialized fluids. There are a bunch of different ATFs (e.g. Matic-D, J, and K) as well as different ones for the CVTs. I wouldn't mess with a non-spec fluid, especially in the CVTs.
I think the OP's limitation is very reasonable, and shouldn't (and apparently hasn't) deter anyone from assisting.
I was mainly asking out of curiosity, to find out if there was a particular symptom he was trying to remedy of if the Nissan guys were having issues. "Just cuz" is fine; didn't mean to digress for curiosity's ssake. The second part was me just being silly. I guess I should have used a silly emoticon instead of just saying "haha"?
Also, didn't he say he didn't want any opinions on fluids; that he already has his fluid of choice?
