Good stuff there...I used the same last year, replaced in pan filter, flushed all DexIII out and replaced with DexVI as well I added the B&M drain plug, in line filter and cooler, I am also running a 4l60e and it shifts great now, I plan on changing inline filter and do a pan drain and fill every 30k.

Today I did the first transfer case change on my 2003 Silverado with a manual transfer case at a little over 25K miles. I used TES 295 Delvac. Very little wear metal in the drain pan, so it looks like it is wearing well.

36 quarts of merc/dex III

Just did a fluid swap last night on my '11 Civic.
Drained the factory fill with just about 1500KM.
Added almost 2 quarts Amsoil MTF.
Shifts even better than with the factory fill. I love Amsoil for manual trans!!

I just did a PMF on the wife's 2005 Xterra. Used Mobil 1 full syn Universal ATF. I hesitated for a while before I did the flush with Mobil 1 due to all the horror stories about using only Nissan specific ATF or suffering horrible consequences. May I say "[censored]' to that fallacy. The Xterra shifts smoother now than when it was new. My wife, someone who couldn't pop the hood and point out the engine, even commented on how much better it shifted. That's enough for me. YMMV. Blessings to all.
