The Altima featured in this video is a 2012. There are 2 internal filters that are replaceable. I'll link them below, but this video is just covering a simply a drain and refill procedure. Nissan recommends this service be done every 60k miles.
Drain plug: 25ft-lbs (33.9Nm)

They aren’t bulletproof, but keeping up to date on the service will go a long way.

@@michaelgarland579 it’s hard to say. “Hot” is not very specific, but even if you gave me an exact temp I still don’t know at what cyou can expect guaranteed failure.

I have 2007 Nissan Altima. Mechanic added more transmission fluid I believe a year ago not sure if he drained it but my car has been fine ever since. Should I change or continue with it since it has gave me any issues.

I would recommend changing the fluid. The fluid change I do in this video is for maintenance, not repair. If your transmission starts giving you issues it may be too late. Thanks for watching!
I used valvoline CVT transmission fluid after I had to replace my 2007 nissan altima transmission. I won't use store brand (Nissan) transmission fluid anymore. I have a feeling the fluid is what's causing the problems.

It could be, but also I think poor maintenance is also a big factor. There are a lot of people that just drive it until it breaks and then consider doing maintenance.

@@bennieaust yea, but my transmission only had about 70K miles at the time whenit died. it went to safe mode at first. It was when there was the cvt transmission recall. they also added a transmission cooler. Fortunately, it was still under warranty. I started using Valvoline after that. Thanks for the video.

I've never seen one without a drain plug. It must have had the pan replaced at some point with an aftermarket one without a drain plug.

Why not mention the mileage? I have a 2010 with 82,000 miles. All mechanics tell me not to change the fluid because it's too late.
