Hello All,


Im new to owning a Frontier, my other car I owned was a jeep wrangler.  I want to change the fluids in my truck.  I purchased it used and not sure what the previous own did with the truck.  I have read so much online about royal purple, mobil 1 and amsoil.   Amsoil is a pain because I have to order it and wait for it to come in.  I would rather be able to walk into a store and walk out with what I need.  So which is better?  Royal Purple for everything or Mobil 1? 

I have read that you just put ATF oil in the tranny if that is the case can I just put Royal Purple MAX ATF in both or will it mess something up?  Also in the differentials cn I just put royal purple max gear in both or should I use mobil 1 in those?

Thanks for the input

Chris

Oh and the truck has no warranty so no need to worry about voiding the warranty

Correction I have read that you just put ATF in the tranny and the transfer case, so do I just put max ATF in both or MAX ATF in one and something in the other

Nissan has many different ATF designations, Matic D goes in
the transfer, Matic J which changed to Matic S, goes in the
transmission(assuming it is an automatic).
