I ask him why and he states because I skipped the earlier service that there is an extra amount of metal shavings, debris etc. in there that could cause damage during the flush procedure because of the abrasiveness of the particles floating around. It seems to make sense but I am not an expert on this.

What do the rest of you fine folks think about this?

where I work after that many miles if no service has been done we wont do a flush without you signing a waiver because of that. I'd invest in having the pan dropped filter replaced to be safe. Its what my manager recomened for my grandmothers quest so I'm shopping around for the best deal still. ( not about to have us grease munkys touch it lol) we do the service but... no thanks!

I thought the titan did not have a trans filter? I do not like the whole flush idea to begin with, Nissan should have installed drain plugs on the pan and tq converter, but this other crap about damage and dirt at 60k is just a bunch of b.s., I have been a wrench for years and this is just the service dept. sales pitch.
