Fits using top posts.

There are a few models of red top though (34, 34R 75/25, 34/78, 78).

Look here: http://www.optimabatteries.com/optima_edge..._specs.php#red1

If you have a problem getting it in the garage try putting the top down. I'm not sure why Nissan would make the red top any taller than the black one though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I got the battery at Costco, it came with the hold-down as well as some spacers. I used one on the backside to make a snug fit.

I recall my Optima came with a plastic cover as part of the retail packaging. The hold down and spacers were wedged in the plastic cover.

My Altima bit the dust a long time ago , but my Oltima batteries(Marne aplications) have worked great for over 4 years. Und heard of in this appplication. Restrictive to vibration and heat of Big diesles.
