SERVICE INFORMATION

If the automatic transmission in the new Q45 (F50) or G35 (V35) requires service, a new type of
automatic transmission fluid MUST be used. The new fluid is Nissan Matic-J.
The New Nissan Matic-J
• Only Nissan Matic-J automatic transmission fluid (P/N 999MP-MTJ00P) is specially formulated to meet the
exacting requirements of Infiniti's new 5-speed automatic transmission (RE5R05A).
• The RE5R05A transmission contains new internal components that require the use of
Nissan Matic-J only!
CAUTION:
• Usage of Nissan Matic-D or any other automatic transmission fluid in the RE5R05A 5-speed automatic
transmission will cause deterioration in driveability and transmission durability.
• Do NOT use any other fluid for the RE5R05A 5-speed automatic transmission, only use Nissan Matic-J.
• Use of any other fluid may result in damage to the RE5R05A 5-speed automatic transmission, which will
not be covered by the INFINITI warranty......"
+1

Also, the AT Fluid is Fill-for-Life. You don't need to replace it under normal conditions. The maintenance schedule only says that you only need to have the AT Fluid inspected every 30K and replaced if necessary.

Alright does Nissan have any such fluid that MUST be used for MT 6pd Zs or we void the warranty? I ask because I used Redline MT-90 awhile back and want to make sure my warranty isn't void.

It just has to meet API service GL-4.
According to the Redline web site, you're good.

I guess you are assuming that Nissan actually backs up it's warranty, as opposed to worming their way out of it. Generally all manufacturer warranties are just paper.

For those of you using Redline mix of MTL/MT90. Are you using this same mixture in both your tranny and diff?
