i just watched a video on how to change transmission fluid but he needed 12 qts of nissan atf which costs 150 bucks. he drained and refilled it 3 times. is this how it normally is suppose to be or can i get away fom just draining and refilling?

If you do multiple drain and refill sessions (a good thing) then put some miles in-between, not all of the changes at once. Why? Most of the fluid is contained within the torque converter, not the oil pan and will not drain out. By driving, it'll mix new with old so the next change it should get more of the 'old' out, although some will still be there...just not nearly as much.

How many miles and what sort of driving is done during said week? If there's a good amount of shifting and "transmission use", then that may be an OK timeline. Wouldn't hurt to extend it to a couple/few weeks though, just to get the fluid moved around, nice and mixed.
