ok, ok...if it's got a drain plug then that changes everything!
Man, I love Nissan...thanks again for doing the smart thing and adding a $2 part that saves us hours of work, even though it doesn't help the factory out at all!

if it's got a drain plug...and the fluid's rated for 100,000 miles....then it does make sense to just go ahead and drain/refill what you can get out of it. In every tranny I've seen, there is a filter that hangs into the bottom of the transmission pan, you would be running new fluid on an old filter... but I guess that's becoming more common, even with oil nowadays.
