Nissan maxima cvt service tips on how to make your cvt last longer

The transmission that I have on this video is from a 2010 Nissan maxima very similar form the Nissan Murano. The Nissan Altima and the Sentra are build with a different transmission

    I just picked up a 2013 Pathfinder with 163k miles on it,, has the code of "death' so I took a chance on it. Drove it 100 miles home and you could feel it dragging. Did two spill & fills and added two bottles of "Jil-Cat" 100 miles later & car has improved so much I may keep it. By pass the built in Trans Cooler in the Radiator & added a small external cooler. Castrol CVT Fluid seems to work well. I am also installing a inline filter after the cooler. App called CVTz50 allows you to monitor several pids with the CVT, AWD & Engine.

    I recently replaced both transmission filters and the fluid on my 2012 Murano with 57,000 original miles. This fixed the slight slipping problem I was having on one specific hill. After driving 200 miles I drained and refilled the fluid again, which should leave me with about 75% new fluid, since a drain and fill only gets about half the fluid. I used Amsoil CVT fluid, which is both superior to the Nissan OEM fluid and less expensive, to boot. It protects the warranty (exceeds factory specs). It now responds quicker and no longer slips on that particular hill.

I Got a used transmission and installed it and its leaking fluid where the engine and trans bolt together. Could this be the torque convertor or the torque convertor seal ?

    I believe the 2016 is the new body style. I'm not sure to be honest with you. I installed a 2015 cvt in 2009 Nissan maxima before and it worked fine. and a 2017 cvt on a 2014 Nissan Altima and it worked well. The Nissan Altima changed the body style in 2016 as well. so, there is a big chance the 2016 cvt will fit your 2011 maxima. look at the sensors see if they are the same and sensor locations, also look at the main plug and count the pins in it.

    The Nissan Sentra seems to be the weakest transmission. They are smaller and can’t take too much abuse they will go out very quickly. If you look at your manual it calls for fluid change every 30k miles I believe. If you don’t follow the maintenance guide it will go out. The maxima seem to be able to take more abuse and can go a lot longer without fluid changed but it’s recommended to follow maintenance intervals
