I don't believe this is true. Nissanmatic D is Dexron III, I've asked the Nissan dealership about this. Back when the car was made, you could use Dexron II or the Nissan version of the time. Dexron III is the new, better standard for the fluid. In fact you may get additional benefits from a high-mileage Dexron III ATF like Valvoline Maxlife, since it's formulated for transaxles that are starting to show signs of their age.
