Can I change my transmission fluid without changing the filter ?

SOURCE: transmission fluid change intervals

We don't change automatic transmission filters on any Nissan, they are not a service item. Changing the fluid or (machine) flushing it is the only needed servicing needed. If they are telling you they are going to change your filter, find a new repair facility. Hope this helps.

This car does not have a auto trans dipstick, the level can only be checked by the dealer, this is a growing trend that started with most German cars, the filter is inside the trans pan and only needs changing every 60,000 miles.

I would not recommend using Dexron III. Honda Odysseys are prone to transmission problems. A drain and fill with Genuine Honda Fluid is Recommended. The drain plug can be removed with a 3/8 ratchet at the bottom of the trans. The fill hole is at the top of the trans. You remove it with a socket on a long extension. The capacity is close to 3 quarts

hi,
I had transmission fluid drain and fill last year and had not driven more than 6K since the transmission fluid replacement andfound out that the fluid color getting dark.

My question is now how I should change it now, should it be completely flush or regular drain. I have heard that complete flush makes the transmission seals weak, that is why not recommended, is that true

please help
