The 2005 Nissan Xterra uses a Dexron ViATF automatic transmission fluid stated by the owners manual. Automatic transmission fluid lubricates the internal parts of Your engine and dissipates heat. It is important to keep it lubricated to ensure a proper functioning transmission. Every time that Your transmission shifts, the clutch packs generate even more heat to the mix. If You don't change Your transmission fluid frequently, the d***y fluid will not serve as an effective lubricant and it won't disperse heat well. This will cause wear and tear on the clutches and other parts of Your transmission.The cost to have Your fluid changed by a dealer, service center or independent mechanic ranges from $80 to $250. The average cost is around $100 for both automatic and manual transmissions.
