Nessesary, probobly not, useful yes. Search around for different brands. 30,000 is right around the corner for me and when I change it I'm going with Royal Purple tranny fluid, it seems to be a popular choice amongst users

Mobil does not offer a synthetic (Mobil 1) that they recommend for the 6MT in the Z.

I recently switched mine to Redline MTL and MT-90 trans oil. Pretty much the same as Royal Purple. I can tell my tranny shifts much smoother and the 'notchiness’ has decreased.
I also recommend changing the diff fluid at the same time since the stock oil was very dirty when I changed mine; at 12k.

Bubble, here you go http://www.royalpurple.com/dealers/cab.html
Might want to call them up first because not all places carry the tranny fluid.

It's funny the Royal Purple Syn. gear oil with a 75-90 weight says it's okay of both GL-4 and GL-5 applications.....I know this has been done to death, but that doesn't make me feel to good about using the royal purple????

Synthetics such as Royal Purple have no natural ingredients and NO corrosive ingredients what so ever. That is why they work on GL-4 and GL-5 with the same formulation.

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......"
