just ask the people at the local parts store they should be able to look it up for you...

Use a dextron III fluid. I think what nissan used/recommended from the factory isnt even available anymore. I think it was dextron II or something like that.

You will want to use the transmission fluid made for Automatic transmissions. It will have the letter "ATF" printed on the front somewhere.

Lucas Oil makes decent transmission fluids.
