Good video .. thanks. So on these newer rigs I’m guessing you don’t leave it running in neutral to check fluid level?

Very descriptive and straight to the the point on how to do drain and fill the transmission fluid. Thanks to your video, i now know exactly what i need to do. Thank you for sharing your experience. I subscribed and am looking forward to viewing your future videos.

Thanks much. Videos like this make my life sooooo much easier. I'm subscribed.

Good video sir! Thanks for sharing!! I thought a bird is going to pup out 😂😂😂😂 from that cabin filter👍👍👍👍

Any change at all is better than nothing and to change the filter and gasket is even better.

Thanks for your video!

Very helpful video. Thanks a bunch!

I think you should go by the color of the fluid if pink flush if barely pink change it and if very black don’t flush change only

After I drained mine. I poured into a one gallon milk jug. It actually filled it up all the way. And I had a half gallon milk jug that maybe took a quarter cup.

sounds about right. Thanks for sharing.

Did you ever replace the rest of the driveline fluids as you mentioned in the video?

I'm looking at a used 2015 SV with 140000 miles which is really high, but the truck looks pretty damn good. Most of the miles were highway cruising which are pretty easy on the vehicle. If I buy it I will definitely be replacing all of engine and driveline the fluids, so this was a big help.

Watch out changing fluid on cars with high mileage. It can cause slippage and damage. Unless it was properly maintained.

@@JulianX3__ I actually never bought that truck. However, that concern only applies to transmissions and doing a partial drain and fill mitigates that concern.

i used to work in a shop but retired now i own a 2019 frontier . you have to have the engine running while checking the fluid . the only cars i checked like that were hondas. the pump keeps the fluid in all the clutches . as long its in the crosshatch area on hot side your good.

What made you decide to go with Valvoline Maxlife and not Nissan brand S Matic?

It seemed to be a safe bet based on feedback I read on some Nissan forums. Plenty of guys said they'd been running it for years.

You know that to drain and change filter and gasket is a good thing and then you should do a drain and fill every three months for one year and then it should be looking like new

The transmission is a very expensive thing to rebuild and especially a new one so regular maintenance is essential.

What fluid did you use??

10mm bolt?

When you put the transmission drain bolt back in the pan do you have to put any type of silicone or Teflon tape on the threads to prevent leaking ? Or will it not leak if you put it back with nothing on it ?

This is the Truxedo cover. Its around $320-$350. I've had it on for almost 4 years and its still in good shape. I've been pleased with it.

The manual says that the volume of transmission fluid is 2 1/8 quarts of S ATF.

Did you replace the drain plug gasket?

Does anyone have clear transmission fluid? I checked the transmission fluid on my 2015 Nissan frontier and it was clear. Never heard of clear transmission fluid before

I think there's so little on the dipstick that it just looks clear.

So for a correct transmission fluid reading, check the dipstick with the vehicle on or off?

I can see that the fluid although dirty it still has a bit of pink so you need a passive flush with a tube. Also change filter and clean pan. Then it will be good for 30,000 more miles

Ho many miles at this time?

Sorry but you need to emphasize that you check transmission oil level with the truck running after you've been running it for a while you do not check the level of your transmission fluid with the engine not running

Uh, aren't you supposed to have the truck running when you check the fluid?

@WoodsTreeFarm

Жыл бұрын

Dunno but ran it for over 2 years before trading it in and it did just fine.

is there something unusual or special to check the fluid level. The manual talks about reversing the position of the gauge. see below. Im not clear on that. • To check the A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the top of the A/T fluid charg- ing pipe, with the gauge reversed from the normal inserted position.

And that's why you measure what came out so you don't have to go through this nonsense.

So given the age of truck, mileage & when video was made it was already out of 3yr. 36K. While I brought the NIssan OEM for mine, I doubt the dealership would be sending this off to a lab for testing and side by side once it has run through a few miles of shifting I doubt you could tell them apart. I wonder how many times the kid at Jiffy Lube grabs what ever hose is hanging over his head when he does your oil? Woods Tree, thanks for the video.
