is it on the drivers side and near the oil filter...yes...it'll be the eng oil dipstick.
 
Yes, the dipstick retained by a small bolt is indeed the automatic transmission fluid dipstick.

You can check it hot or cold - just turn the face of the dipstick over to see the other side (one has marks for a cold gearbox, the other side has marks for a hot gearbox).
 
g'day well had a look at the auto oil just like smells like it just came from the bottle :)levels spot on ...

The dipstick is in the drivers seat and the engine oil checker stick is in a similar position to the transmission level checker stick but closer to the front of the engine and it has a loop on it for easier removal. Removal of the dipstick in the drivers seat can't be done the same way
 
Ok..its just the original post didnt indicate that there was two dipstick and that he was led to believe salon's dont have ATF level checkers,

as for the dipstick driving, well thats just a prerequisite to own a D40...
Hmmm does the 550 have an auto /dipstick?
 
The Nissan service manager where I brought my car had to ask his tech where the Auto transmission checker was when I asked. Thankfully his tech knew and I guess thankfully he was honest enough not to bullshit but I still thought it a little amusing that the service manager had no idea.

Auto dipsticks are in most cars, it's being able to change as required that most have trouble with!
