You may remember this question I asked a few weeks ago:

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?7980-90-GQ-4.2-Petrol-with-Auto.-Bout-150ks.-Auto-toast

Well I'm standing at the oil racks at a local Repco looking at different oils. 8.2 Litres!!! Your kidding me!

I had planned to do 2 oil changes in a short space of time to see if I could stall the inevitable.

Well that plan quickly went out the window when I priced the appropriate oil from Castrol - $80 odd dollars for 4 litres!!!!!!!!

Can I go for the cheaper Dextron 3?

What are you guys using in your slush boxes?

And in my opinion your probable just throwing your money down the drain getting the oil, better of spending that money on getting a auto trans specialist to have a look at it and let you know what may be wrong with it and the $$$$ it will cost 2 fix

I actually agree with you, however, there's no-one up here that I have confidence in to take it to. The local 'goto' people did such a crappy job on my Subaru that I'm reluctant to take it or any other vehicle to them.
