The capacity of the trans is about 10 qts. A drain and fill requires about 4 1/2 qts. Dropping the pan and replacing the filter usually requires about 6 qts.
Synthetic ATF is cross-compatable with conventional ATF. Make sure the synthetic ATF is compatable with Nissan type "D" ATF. If sticking with conventional, Nissan recommends Nissan type "D" over Dexron II and later formulations. Type "D" is actually the original Dexron formula and prevents valve body sticking better than later type Dexron formulas.
The reason most say don't change the filter is because Nissan usually uses a screen, not a typical filter. Their thinking is that if there is enough debris in the ATF to clog the screen, then there is an internal failure of the trans that needs to be addressed. If you feel better by replacing the filter-screen, knock your socks off!
