Is there any truth in the Nissan handbook's statement that if I use anything other than "Genuine ATF Matic Fluid J" the 5 speed gear box in my 2002 4.8 petrol TI will cause a "deterioration in drivability and automatic transmission durability"
What are people using in;
5 speed semiautomatic gear boxes?
Transfer cases?
Front differentials?
Rear TI locker (non LSD) differentials?

ATF = automatic transmission fluid ,,,,, Matic Fluid J = the fluids rating only , ,,,, any brand ATF with an approved - J - specification is what the Nissan demands.

G'day there
I know that Matic J is expensive, but it's dangerous to use anythingelse
I just looked at the Shell and BP websites for their reccomendations and both advise "refer to dealer"
There is obviously a reason neither of these two manufacturers don't reccomend 1 of their own products
Ive seen a 4.8 auto with the wrong fluid used. On the back of a tow truck. and a very expensive bill followed
Spend the bucks and avoid the risk
