Well like most cars, if it's an auotmatic then it will have a dip. Manual Tranny's do not.

Yes and No!

AT dipstick...

Yes in Canada.

No in the U.S.

Nissan must think that American's aren't smart enough to check their own auto trans level.

Interesting that the U.S. and Canadian part numbers are the same. The descriptions and actual parts are different.

Really? That is down right weird. Why would they choose to not put a dip in an automatic? I thought all AT's had them. Apparently all but Nissan

The 5AT in the 350Z is not "Customer Serviceable".

You are provided with an idiot light, which if it comes on, you are instructed to "See your dealer".

Ahh technology.
