This is one of the best tutorial videos I have seen. No annoying background music, no philosophy discussion, clear cut procedural steps, clearly visible showing of bolts and their locations. Best of all it is only 4 minute long packed with useful information. Many thanks to Jav.

This video is perfect. Step by step. I did just what you said on the video and my rogue runs fine. Now it's got about 30 thousand miles since changing fluid. Still quite and smooth running. Thank you for posting this video

I failed to mention that my rogue has 106 thousands miles on it and the transmission shifts great 👍

any technician that uses a box end wrench on any oil change is alright with me. Respect to you sir.

You did a great job of changing the CVT fluid. One of the best of videos I have seen when it comes to; flushing the lines from and to the transmission; but you will play hell trying to find ANY one that does this. But oh, how important it is. Sadly, I know of NO dealer that does it. Also...you said: "Do not use aftermarket fluids" WHY? It is my understanding that MOST Nissan dealers USE "aftermarket fluids". Oh indeed yes. Yet Nissan insists (and most of their dealers insist) that we use Nissan CVT fluids. WHY? I'll tell you WHY! They, like ALL automobile dealers ), are crooks and use EVERY method they can; to get MORE money out of their customers. Only a blind fool does not know this to be fact absolute. The likelihood of getting a fair deal from any auto dealer in America is nil to none. Oh indeed yes. For 10's of millions of customers are being taken EVERY day all over the USA. Sad, sad and SAD! Another question: Why would the aftermarket companies (that claim that their fluid IS "safe" for CVT's) risk their business with a horde of law suits? Have you ever heard of a suit against any of the aftermarket CVT fluids companies? I haven't. Also; why is the cost of Nissan CVT much higher than the aftermarket fluids; yet they buy from the same companies that their competitors do? Remember Nissan does NOT make their CVT fluids! I'll tell you WHY! SEE ABOVE!

I changed the oil with Castrol Transmax. Have never had trans oil done before. 95,000 miles on the car. Then we drove about 2,613 miles while on vacation. No problems.

Love the video, it helped me a lot. A few weeks ago I realized we never had the transmission oil changed on our 2017 Pathfinder with just over 95,000 miles Dealer pretty much refused to do it and said we had some major leaks, quoted us over $3000. I checked, no major leaks. Decided to do the oil myself. Also wanted to do the filters but the dealer doesn't keep those in stock. Changed the oil at operating temp. Got about 3 1/2 quarts out, put in 4 quarts. Got about 1/2 quart out through the overflow drain. I used a hand held temp scanner to check the temp of the trans. I used Castrol Transmax oil. Then my family and I went on vacation and drove at least 2,613 miles, on highway and in the Smokey Mountains. Had no issues at all. I'm going to pick up the filters and gaskets and do the oil again. Once again great video.

Awesome thanks did my 2017 rogue s awd using your video a couple of days ago just measured the amount that came out and refilled 3.25 quarts cvt fluid from the dealer without flush. Drain plug crush washer is same one as engine oil drain plug. I ordered new CVT drain plug, crush washer, & filler tube cap, overflow bolt, and o-ring so all could be replaced with new. BYM

Called local Nissan dealer today where vehicle was purchased and they quoted $254 to do this service. I understand they have to net a profit but that is ABSURD... Thanks for the tutorial Sir! I will do this myself (with OEM fuilds of course)

Jav, Hi You've gotten a Like + Subscribe from Canada! You win the award for best tutorial for CVT transmission fluid change! Wish you lived close-by ... I'd pay an extra premium to have my transmission fluid changed in such a thorough manner. After reading your answers to everyone's comments I feel 100% on my understanding of the proper fluid change. Even though your video was performed on a newer NS3 transmission, you presented the steps in a way that made them easily applied to all CVT's including my older NS2 fluid Sentra 2012, 2.0L. And most importantly pausing your video at 0:48 ... the look that guy in the background gives is HILARIOUS!! ahahaha

Stranger danger at 0:48 hahaha

Having a 13 Rogue personally and hating Nissan's cvt as well, I can say that I have used Aisin NS-2 fluid with no issues in my car. Aisin is a transmission maker and the stuff is even the same color for $13 less a quart. Having put 2.5k after not changing the fluid for 180k on mine it works better than it did. I am not sure if Aisin makes the NS-3 fluid but I would put money on it. If your car is under warrenty, get Nissan to do it. Bite the cost bullet because if they find a foreign fluid and your cvt explodes it wont be under warranty. As mine is well over that point and working fine no worries here. Biggest issue with the tranny is driving like an asshole and overheating them. I have towed well over the recommended weight for 1200 miles in mine along with the no tranny fluid changes and thank god it still runs great. My fluid was the same as what came out of this one when he changed it. Follow the recommendation for changes and dont drive like its an automatic tranny and a race car and it will last.

@@JavsGarage Curious, have you ever checked the cvt fluid level per the procedure in your vid with temp reading, then drive the car to full operating temp and check again. Was their a difference in the fluid level on the dip stick when comparing the two procedures?

This looks very similar to the procedure for the 2011 Kia Sportage that I've done before. Easier actually, since the fill port isn't buried under hoses and wires and the fluid overflow port isn't way up on the front of the transmission. Thanks.

Do your research!! This is only 1/2 of a CVT fluid change. You are only mixing some new fluid with old fluid. There is another 5 quarts (9 1/2 quarts total for complete fluid change) in the torque converter and valve body. There is also a paper/synthetic cartridge filter that needs changed behind the oil cooler (removal of oil cooler needed).

2020-present Sentra also uses ns-3

Thank you, this helped a lot. I only just found out that there is no dipstick. What freaking dipstick made that decision. 🤦🏻‍♂

Fill more than it required (think it's like 2.75quarts). 8. start engine, and get to temp. 9. pull plug on bottom again. 10. let it drain until dribbling slightly out, replace plug.

Question we’re did you get the copper gasket? And the cooler flush? Also what’s the difference between the cvt oil in the black bottle and the ones in the white ones...they both say ns3 on them but the black ones are substantially cheaper 60 dollars for five but 100 dollars for five white ones... also I talked to the dealership and they say the trans needs a fluid change every 30,000 miles mine is a 2017 Altima with 46000 miles and the car fax does not show that it’s been changed anyway should I be worried... the dealership wants 260 to do the job... seems awfully steep for something so simple and I asked what they do and he says they just change the fluid and use a special tool on the bottom to get the fluid level correct....I assume that’s the same thing as you getting the trans to temperature than pulling tell it drains the way you showed on the video I assume... and finally one more thing since the car has a power train warranty till 60 thousand miles should I just bite the bullet and and pay them 160 in labor for something so simple I’ve changed Tran fluids on other cars and this seems much easier seeing you don’t have to pull the pan however don’t want any excuse regarding the warranty..your expertise in all these regards would be greatly appreciated.

The Cooper washer you can get at the dealership or on Amazon. I think they're like $6 for a pack of 10. You can use those for the engine 14mm oil plug and the 19mm trans plug. And as far as the cvt fluid goes I'm only aware of the black NS3 bottles from Nissan. The white bottles from Nissan are NS2 and should not be used for your year vehicle. I'll highly recommend staying with Nissan fluids and not going with aftermarket universal fluid. And as per the cvt fluid service at the dealership I know it's expensive for such a easy job but at least if anything goes wrong they'll be responsible for it. I've seen them warranty transmissions that are out of warranty just because the customer kept up with the maintenance at the dealer. So it really comes down to having them do it and shaving that safe piece of mind or saving a couple bucks and doing it yourself. Hope that helped clear things up

NS300P & CV0NS3 What are the differences between the two CVT FLUIDs?

@JavsGarage

Same fluids but the cv0ns3 is the slightly more updated version I've been told.

I had one question regarding o ring for CVT overflow plug. The field service manual indicates to never re-use o ring. I just did a 2x drain and refill and replaced crush washer for drain plug but want to confirm that I did not under or over fill. Can the overflow plug o ring be re-used?

Overfill a little like half quarter bottle, or use cvt fluid additives for smooth operation

So if the engine is at fully operating temperature, then the CVT won't have accurate results. Am I right?

@JavsGarage

5 жыл бұрын

The cvt only reads the cvt fluid temp . But after adding the new fluid you have to let the car run for 10-15min so the engine and transmission will be at operating temps. So it wouldn't really matter if the engine is hot or not just the cvt. But in that time frame both should be at operating temps

Whining or a judder are symptoms also . It wouldn't hurt to do it before it starts getting worse

I broke the side tab off trying to get that plug out of the tube but the plug itself is OK. Is it likely to come out? I know it was a real pain in the @ss to get it out. Mine is a 2017 and while it has the plug, there is no dipstick attached to it. I do like that there is a tube really. Some manufacturers just want to make everything an expensive pain that some people dread having to get done. To them a root canal without anesthesia seems more fun!! Now that I see how it is supposed to come out I might just order a new cap from some place (not the dealer, I don't want them to know I messed with it).

Hey bro I just did a drain and fill on my wife’s 2019 rogue SL. I let it drain for about 30 min. Charged out the copper crush washer. I measured and I drained out a tad over 4qts and filled it with 4qts of new ns3 fluid from the dealer. Should I put more in or I should be good? I don’t want to overfill and possibly go into limp mode.
