First drain of factory fill. 54,816 miles. Wife drives like a grandma. Same Jatco trans as the Kizashi however, the SX4 is much lighter and less powerful than the Kizashi.
I will say it was much cleaner than the last of the 3 drain/fills I'd done on the Kizashi at ~80k miles last fall. I could see through the fluid as it was draining w/o too much difficulty. More of a pain in the azz to get to the cartridge filter though. Only doing a single drain fill on this one. battery and battery tray had to come out. ECM is attached to battery tray as well.
