Default Transmission fluid change 2002 Altima 105,000 miles

I went to a meinke 2 weeks ago and they performed an oil change on my altima. After the oil change I was told I needed transmission fluid change also. I called up another mechanic to find out pricing in a transmission fluid change an was told to not do one unless it was done regularly on my car since it has 105,000 miles. Now I don't know if it was done regularly since I put ached the Altima used 3 months ago. What should I do? this is my first car thanks.

The transmission fluid doesn't need to be changed regularly like the engine fluid, if that is what you meant. If the fluid looks dark red, then it is time for a fluid change. The transmission fluids are alittle bit more expensive than the engine fluids and it will take more when it comes to quarts. Just make sure you don't get a flush, but just have them drain it, since it could cause issues on the long run. Usually when you do a drain you probably need 5 to 5.5 quarts of transmission fluid added.

you are due for tranny fluid change. so go ahead buy the fluid from a Nissan dealer and ask meineke how much they charge labor (prob. $25. - $30.) much like an oil change.
