★ Top Answer
The 2005 Nissan Xterra requires Dexron ViATF automatic transmission fluid according to the owner's manual. This fluid lubricates the internal components of your engine and helps dissipate heat, ensuring your transmission functions properly. Every time your transmission shifts, the clutch packs generate additional heat. Failing to change your transmission fluid regularly will prevent it from effectively lubricating and dissipating heat, leading to wear and tear on the clutches and other transmission parts. Getting your fluid changed by a dealer, service center, or independent mechanic typically costs between $80 and $250, with the average cost being around $100 for both automatic and manual transmissions.
