Which cvt fluids available to you?
Hello repairvehicle. I have 2017 Nissan Rogue never change the TRANSMISSION FLUID. Is there any other way to check the Transmission fluid level instead of fill up whatever you took out? Thank you very much....Does not have any Dipstick as well.

I never leave comments but this video deserves it. Thank you for explaining in detail the different aspects of the topic. Very informative and nicely compiled. Will have to check out the fluid lab analysis.
Thank you!
Salute to you for doing this research and putting together a comprehensive video for dummies. Keep up the good work. Glad to know there are affordable quality alternative to Nissan’s whose vehicle I own.
Thank you
Excellent video. Very helpful to those of us that have a Nissan CVT. I will definitely use AMSOIL CVT fluid in the future.
Thank you. If you don't mind, please share this video with others via Facebook or any other way.
@@repairvehicle I have a megane 2015 1.6 with a nissan cvt transmission at 60 000 miles . The dealership recommended nissan ns-3 for my cvt . Since then i am having a slippage on higher rpm's and between shifts . I had a fight with them since they refused to admit there fault . Anw i tried dexron cvt oil . It feels much better but still having some slippage . What oil do you recommend to fix the issue?
@@rayantarabay803, once cvt starts slipping its a major sign of major wear. You are not going to find atf that will eliminate the slipping completely. Amsoil great for cvt and none cvt. It might slow down slipping but I don't know for sure.
@@repairvehicle thank you for the info i do have one more question about a product/additive from bar's leaks , called cvt transmission fix . What are your thoughts about it and how it works by making the oil thicker or thinner?
Thank you Thank you for this video. I have been searching for answers and your video made it simple to understand the differences. Pour Point, Flash Point, etc.. We have two CVT transmisson vehicles and I drain and refill once per year. It does not take much time and we have never had any problems. LIFETIME TRANSMISSION FLUIDS IS A LIE!
You are welcome
I do the same thing with my CVT AWD Nissan Juke, About to go out and do a drain and fill today.. My car has full bolt On's and has been Dyno tuned to 265 AWDHP, and 256 AWD Wheel Torque.. I "Gained" about 120 foot lb's of torque to the wheels. Very nice sleeper.. I do a drain and fill usually at the end of June right before the super hot months.. That's when the fluid burns up and breaks down the most in the hot summer months.. Now people who live up north with Jukes or Rogues and have cooler weather and mild summers tend to see there CVTs last twice as long.. Because it's not burning up as fast.. I have been using AMsoil CVT fluid for about a year and a half now.. And I have no scientific way of proving it's better than the NS2 my car calls for other than it feels like it holds and grips the belt about 25 to 30% better than the Stock stuff does.. If you are on a Tune where you are making 50/60 more WHP then stock I would highly recommend using AMSoil.. The problem is when switching over you have to do 3 drain and fills right away and then do a couple more over the next year here and there to get the rest of the old stuff out.. Finally think of it like this.. This fluid is more for (protection) then pressure.. Think of this fluid like Motor oil.. You wouldn't drive around with burnt motor oil so don't do it with your CVT.. Please understand that if you have a heavy foot, You will burn that CVT fluid up with a year of using the Car, It's a fact.. Me personally think Drain and fills should be done every 15K to 20K and the Very minimum.. For me I do it under 10K..
Just changed my 15 Rogue sv Awd 51k (one owner) with Castrol cvt. Pumped 4 out on cold morning. Signfiganly better than OEM. Smoother. Was dark brown. Mobile one 75-90 axel for diff. Changed at 40 k. OEM was shit. Thank you for everything you do 👍
You are welcome
I know for sure that All of Nissan fluids are Total garbage. That I believe why people hate them. I use Penzoil 5-30 synthetic motor oil and hear no valve ticking. Very good stuff. Those are my recommendations. And Amzoil are better Banks diff cover company did a test and found out Amzoil the best
We have a 2017 Nissan Rogue It has 60000 KM or 37000 miles. We just changed the factory cvt fluid to Amsoil cvt fluid. What a difference in smoothness. Definitely a superior product, all fluids have been changed to Amsoil in this vehicle.
Agree with you 100%.
I have never had a CVT until now, but if the amsoils CVT fluid is of the same quality as their other transmission fluids, I'm not surprised you had a good experience!
You are a wise person. Continue to change out every 35-40 thousand miles.
Everyone recommends amsoil I have been using the nissan brand all the time I'm going to try valvoline or ams next time.
So are you saying the vehicle shifted noticeably worse before? How is Amsoil cvt superior in regards to specs?
CVT Amsoil works great very smooth Ive used in my 2016 Nissan Rogue , now my Rogue runs better than before.. thank U Amsoil..❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience
Most of Nissan cars have the problem with transmission, their fluid normally gets too hot, and cause slipping, whinning noise, lack of power, can this help if am switching to Amsoil instead of Nissan NS2? ? I have Nissan Xtrail T31, with CVT transmission.
@@repairvehicle What do you think about lucas cvt oil trans
I would not use Lucas cvt
Good video! I knew this proprietary CVT fluid issue was a bunch of BS.. You just confirmed my suspicions. Bravo! Well done!
Please share this video with others via Facebook or any other ways. Thank you!
Great information…..I have been using all Amsoil fluids in my Harley’s for years. Never had an issue, however it typically has been more expensive than the H-D dealers. I swear by Amsoil in my Harley. I am know switching over to Amsoil for my Nissan and before I pulled the trigger, I am reviewing as much info regarding SUV’s. Thank you for your post and your research and yes you are correct even the H-D dealerships try and use scare tactics so you will pay the $400.00 oil change….yes that’s correct $400.00 for an oil change at H-D. Great video.
Thank you for sharing this. That's very expensive oil change on H-D.
My daughter's 08 Sentra S has 175k on it. This CVT is definitely the exception. I've changed the fluid one time. Thank you for the info! Last time I used fram because I couldn't afford Nissan's insane price. Now I will use Idemetsu!
I'm about to do the same and looking for the right fluid. Did you drain all the old factory fluid out of the cvt? Or just 3 or 4 quarts then fill the rest up with new amsoil ? My question is this is what I want to do, but seems I would be mixing 2 different types of fluids even if I drop the pan. Wich I'm planning lol
Great info and just subbed. Thank you
Very good research and great informative video. Just had Nissan change mine out('14 Cube) and cost me $250+. They charge $28/qt = NO WAY and now I'm gonna change it out myself with either Castrol Tramsmax, Amsoil or Valvoline (all have good reviews). Again.... GREAT VIDEO SIR
Read your paper work I've noticed they been using valvoline transmission oil. Use amsoil it totally made a difference
Брат!!! Great video man, thorough explanation… I love your approach and attitude! You gotta educate yourself if you don’t want to be taken advantage of, it’s that simple. A lot of people just don’t want to be bothered, so they end up paying for it. I recently bought a used Nissan Rogue and this is perfect info, just what I was looking for. Many thanks… 👍
Thanks for this video brother 💪🏻
No problem
Excellent info, I guess the cats out of the bag for Nissan (Renault)
My observation why Nissan do label theyre fluid as "Genuine NISSAN Fluid" is to remove themselves a responsibility to whatever happened to your car's moving parts if you use other products, like a scapedoor to avoid consumers blame on theyre technology itself like the CVT technology they using now.Very enlighting video!
Just purchased 2020 murano for my wife & first thing I did when we got home is ordered every Amsoil product available & began replacing the factory fills. It will take a few drain fill cycles to rid the transmission of the inferior fluid. Thanks for posting.
Great job! You definitely know how to keep your equipment protected. Thank you for sharing this information.
I'd use it all for at least 10-15k except the oil. The factory will be fine for the break in and after that I'd start my maintenance with amsoil.
@ jatoav8or how is your car perfomance with the Amsoil product?
@@edwinalexander1170 i’m really happy with the Amsoil products, outstanding my only complaint is the cost. Sorry for the delayed response, I’ve been in the hospital with a nasty case of Covid.
@@jatoav8or Oooh feel so so sorry for the health challenges, Get well soon. On the othehand Thank you for such information as am looking forward to replace my factory fill for Engine and Transmission on my Nissan car with Amsoil products, as well as puting my Transmission cooler, hope this shall be a very good measure in keeping my transmission active and protected.
Thank you for this video... love and appreciate the info.
What an interesting and helpful video. Rather than just pushing a product such as factory or special aftermarket, you show exactly what's up with these fluids. Personal nally I have had best results and longest life using Amsoil CVT fluid. But we have also used Castrol Transmax CVT with good results when we got a bunch of boxes on clearance at fraction of retail. After using it up we have gone back to Amsoil as it's price vs quality still beats everything out there.
Glad it was helpful!
I got My Altima with 50k frome a dealer now it's has 117k am going to change the cvt fluid I wanna put amsoil however idk how should drop the pan draint the fluid and relief is that enough coz I don't know how to flush it ?
Can you mix the brands? Ie drain 3-4 quarts that has been Nissan brand and replace with 3-4 of Amsoil? Not sure if I'm over thinking this but with engine oil I wouldn't even ask the question. Seems each brand of transmision fluid has magic ingredients when in reality it's just a lighter weight oil of sorts.
Yes you can mix Nissan with Amsoil cvt fluid
@@repairvehicle thanks for the quick reply and info
As he said, change your CVT fluid, and also change out the filter as well if your CVT has a filter.
In Jatco CVTs, there’s a filter in its oil cooler housing and transmission pan. The one in the oil cooler is to be replaced every fluid change. The one in the pan must be changed every 50-60,000 miles.
@@ricksays7133 thanks
I jus looked into doing a flush for a CVT. Straight out of the assembly line some cars are below the specs causing damage over time. This alone is 💯 right. I’m not surprised how stealer ships function because Iv done it for 20 years. I no longer can work for certain dealerships because of the fact on how people are ripped off....like a true robbery. The internal cartridge filter & the metal internal are a must to replace & they do not even tell you. Every 30k this is recommended. I will use other CVT for the flush & blend it with Nissan fluid. The motor does all the work for you by pouring the new fluid to do the flush. Regardless thank you for sharing the truth. I jus subscribed too. 💯🏴☠️
Thank you
what do u mean the motor does all the work?
Now I know. thanks for the information ☺️☺️🙂
Great research!!!! Thank you!
Thank you
Greetings from Egypt. I am a new owner of the Renault Duster, or Dacia Duster as it’s known in Europe and other places around the world. The Duster here only comes with a 1.6 L engine and a Jatco CVT transmission. This is not my first CVT, I used to have a Honda HRV 2005 and I regularly maintained its transmission by changing oil and filter every 40 000 kilometers. The car never broke down and worked fine for 150K until I sold it. My experience with the Honda CVT made me confident that the duster CVT transmission maintenance should be fairly simple. So I after I bought my Duster, I called my local Renault service shop to discuss the car and when I asked when would be the first CVT fluid change, he said never... and he continued to say that the head office informed him that the fluid and filters will not be changed and that if any owner changed the fluid their car would lose the warranty.... I’m confused 🤷♂️
Read your owners manual, it should say. Don't let dealer scare you with false information
Good content my friend. Best wishes to you!
Thank you for this info. I am about to look into a transmission flush, filter and fluid change but don't know who to trust here in Central Florida. Pretty sure the last time I'm was supposed to get a free oil change that was owed me at my dealer, they didn't do jack. Sucks to be in this position as a 100% Disabled Vet.
wow, Great video! 👍
I would encourage you all, when you get ready to have your CVT Fluid drained & refilled, have the person changing it save a sample for you so you can have it tested in an independent laboratory. See how the factory CVT Fluid is doing. Then, if you go with an aftermarket fluid, at same amount of mileage send another sample of that fluid and do a comparison. Then you can see an apples to apples comparison.
make sure sampling done correctly without adding any contamination, dirt from transmission case.
@@repairvehicle Absolutely correct. Never take samples from a filter !!! Samples should always come directly from fluid being drained. Thanks for pointing that out !!!
Thanks for providing this data to help make a decision.
Np
Thanks great video. I'm going to change Transmission Fluid on my daughters Nissan Altima for prevetive maintenance.
Cvt fluid at nissan dealer in fresno ca is $ 42.00 a Quart and yes they told me i should use only nissan brand fluid. Thank you for the information.
You are welcome! Don’t forget to share this video with others via Facebook or any other way. Thank you
Wow this is really eye-opening and educative. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you very much for your video it gives me a better understanding. Very helpful thank you
The belt you are showing is a JATCO belt that consists of links around steel bands. Most other (good) CVT's use chains consisting of thousands of links hooked together without the steel bands which can stretch and break.
Chain or belt between two pulleys in the transmission is an engineering disaster
Great video, thank you!
Thank you. Please share this video with others via Facebook or any other ways.
Thank you for making this Informant video, Nissan made a clause ,because so many issues with CVT Transmission. Customers have been have so many issues .That if you have a 10 yrs and below or 120000 and below. You can bring your vehicle ( Nissan) CVT and have it service for free. And if you spent any money to repair the CVT,ask for a partial or full refund. Thank you making this great video. Please make more.
thanks, great video,so I'm dealing with 2010 Nissan Altima coupe,will be changing CVT,what brand do recommend? I purchased a car at 104 thousand miles, 126,774 .Time to change.
My recommendation is to use this fluid www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2010/nissan-datsun/altima/2-5l-4-cyl-engine-code-qr25de-e/?volume=us-volume#transmission1&zo=5257753
Thanks for the info really help.
Jatco is a Nissan subsidiary company, originally a manufacturing unit of Nissan but separated slightly many years, I think, primarily to enable them to more readily supply competitor vehicle manufacturers.
Nice video with one exception. Near the beginning, you basically say Nissan NS2 fluid is junk, then near the end of the video you show a slide from Amsol showing the difference in belt wear with Amsol vs NS2. The relent comparison would be Amsol vs NS-3
Is ns-3 better than ns-2? By how much? What is changed between 2?
Excited to see the content of this video. What is your opinion on Motul CVTF? There are good opinions here in Europe. It would be for use in a Subaru CVT box TR580. Thank you.
I am not sure about motul, have not looked at their specifications. Do they have any tests results on their website
I went to get my my trans fluid changed at nissan and nissan printed what will be used and how much. It said Valvoline transmission oil will be used. I denied it because I was shocked. I ordered amsoil and did it myself. I'm amazed on the difference on how it runs.
100% true. dealer use this mind control about factory. a good quality brand is just fine!
No. If you use anything than what is recommended you may lose your warranty. After warranty period it is up to you. I still use only original CVT fluid after warranty expired.
You are not going lose warranty. It's another fear scam tactic dealers use. Be smart and don't tell them.
@@repairvehicle Yep. Warranty safe and premium protection. Kudos to Amsoil!
I can comment on testing. I started using Castrol & Valvoline CVT fluid on my 2015 Nissan Pathfinder at around 70k miles. It ran great. The clutch in the transmission started to have issues around 220K miles so I traded it in at that point. 220K miles on a CVT transmission is not bad.
How often were you changing atf ?
Great Info. I really enjoyed the precise technical aspect of your topic. I'm researching the price for Amsoil Synthetic. Thank you.
You are welcome
The pictures on the amsoil vs Nissan comparison looked very different. Nissans results looked burnt and amsoil looked very protective.
Castrol work just fine I use it in my 2013 pathfinder is being almost 3 years now and cvt is shifting fine . nothing is going to happen people. Don't worry about color Nissan ns3 is green Castrol is red . I about to use it again on my second pathfinder now . good luck out there
Why change fluid if you are keep changing vehicles often
Because my sister in law own it now she was having a hard time finding one she like ur one that's why we just buy another one . I like to take care of my cars my own to .
What mileage on Nissan?
Very well said!!!
Thank you!
Some people are convinced the Nissan Fluid NS-1, NS-2, or NS-3 is the only thing that should be used because "Nissan knows what they are doing." Nissan says in their own catalogue you can use other aftermarket CVT Fluids. Thanks for doing the research for us and sharing. My 2019 Nissan Maxima XL 3.5L thanks you. Just had my CVT Drained & Refilled two weeks ago at 47,000 miles. When I found out it's cheaper to buy a New CVT Transmission from Nissan, than to have one repaired, the red flag went up for me.
did you use Amsoil CVT transmission fluid ?
Repairing them is alot more time and work to break it apart and diagnose it
Did my 2019 Nissan rogue sport @48,000 Nissan dealership charged me $27 a Q! 🤬
@@jonmo2694 did you at least get a reach around? 😂😂😂
@Jon Mo just had my Cube done at the dealership and found out their CVT fluid is $28/qt. WTF!!! That's why I'm here right now. Getting info to change it myself which doesn't look difficult at all but now researching the types of CVT fluid that'll replace the expensive dealership overpricing
100% brother👍
One guy did a cold pour test of Amsoil and NS3. The NS3 was so thick I thought it would all fall out of the cup at once. The Amsoil at least flowed. It flowed like honey. Of course most people wouldn't have their fluid at -40 degrees but it is not impossible. For the most part it seems that you can use any _CVT_ fluid with NS3 on the label and it doesn't cause problems. Just make sure it is CVT fluid and nothing else, no additives or anything. Do not try using an additive, that can be a big mistake
I highly doubt anyone would driving in minus 40 F, same as minus 40 C btw. That is excluding windchill which doesn't factor. You are talking the polar extremes. So, I'd put little importance for such minor deviations in pour temps. Agree completely about NO aftermarket additives for the CVT, unless you're trying to unload it.
Thanks. I found Triax is very similar to AMS, and has wonderful reviews. In contrast, Valvoline drops to 5.6 at 100C, and has ruined many cars.
But no comparison like Amsoil has, so it’s not very similar
Great video 👍
I always wondered which one is best. Some people even say Valvoline is good. Mine takes NS3.
Great amd very informative video.Pointing out the lower quality build of these cars and the various brands that meet or exceed thier requirements.
Nice video. It is hard to say whether Nissan "doesn't make their own transmissions" or not. JATCO historically is a company that Nissan spun off and merged with other companies decades ago. But I have to believe that Nissan has a strong hand in what goes on at JATCO, especially since Nissan is still a primary consumer of those JATCO transmissions.
No car manufacturers make thier own transmission, except for gm and ford for certain vehicles
The Toyota Hybrid transmissions are actually Power Split Devices, not CVTs. They rarely fail.

We have two Mitsubishi mirage's. A 2016 and a 2021. Yes it's a jatco! Which is a division of Nissan! Migrated both to the Amsoil CVT fluid. The jerking, shuddering and importantly the random ratio drop... All stopped. The snap-on livedata is more aligned. Pressures appear consistent. The 2016 has 88k and it had never been done. The 2021 has 28k on it and was well overdue 7,700mi. Let's not get into the hard topic of getting filters for these cars as oem parts are hard to obtain.

Great info thanks. I'd like to know what you think about lubegard complete CVT full synthetic.
I need to look at their specs before I can give you details.
Greetings, in the Dominican Republic there is no amsoil cvt I can use castrol cvt because nissan oil is extremely expensive
Hey man. Very good video. I’ve just purchased a Nissan navara SL. I’m changing the engine oil with amsoil signature series. But I have been thinking about the transmission and diff oil change. But it says in the owners manual not to use any other oil than genuine or you void warranty. What do you recommend?
I would replace it anyway, just don't tell them
By law in the United States if the car manufacture tells you that you have to use a certain fluid they must by law give it to you for free.
For me , and my personal use , i use motul multi CVTF oil fluid cvt, its better , and work great, one of the best oils for cvt!! 👌👌
Extremely knowledgeable video thank you for making it. I have a 2017 Nissan Rogue sport S. I’m at 99,000 miles and have never changed the CVT fluid. My question is; since I’ve never changed the fluid. Is it okay for me to use the aimsoil? If so my manufacturer manual states NS-3; which CVT from Aimsoil is compatible with NS3? Again, thank you in advance for your feedback repairvehicle.
I would replace the fluid. Dirty transmission fluid causes transmission to wear out faster. www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2017/nissan-datsun/rogue/2-5l-4-cyl-engine-code-qr25de-6/?volume=us-volume&zo=5257753
Drain and Refill the fluid, drive for about 500 miles then drain and fill again. I guarantee you that the second draining will be dirty. Then every year drain and fill once per year and use amsoil CVT fluid. Your transmission will love you back with reliability.
what about the filters?
Watch this video about filter kzhead.info/sun/jJafZ8h-hYJuZaM/bejne.html
Good information, do you have any video as it relates to Nissan ns2 vs Valvoline ns2, showing which is the better fluid to use?

How to replace factory cvt fluid to Amsoil cvt fluid properly ? Because when you drain fluid , and some fluid still left in converter . 2018 Honda Accord sport 1.5 turbo cvt (3.9q)
Couple drain and fill, that's proper way to get as much as possible fresh fluid into transmission. Make sure to use amsoil for best transmission protection www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2018/honda/accord/1-5l-4-cyl-engine-code-l15be-a-turbo/?volume=us-volume&zo=5257753
Excellent
Thank you.
What is the expansion rate on CVT fluid? If you have 1 liter at 72 degrees F, then heat it to 150 degrees F, does it increase volume by 3%, 5%, more? The reason I ask, the factory makes it impossible to measure the fluid since there is no dipstick. They further state that the transmission must be at a very specific temperature range to check the fluid level. You can't access that data on a typical tablet hooked to the OBDII port. I use my hand to ensure the pan is warm but not hot, then check the fluid level at the overflow, but I would feel better knowing what the expansion rate is.
You need to know temperature when to check fluid and then connect tool to obd2. You are not going to find expansion rate. I don't know either
I am from UAE here its called Nissan Xtrail,,,mine is 2015 model made in japan,,,soon after the warranty got over within 2 months there is a disturbing noise that comes at 40 kmph and gets louder as speeds increases...called the agency and they said ur warranty is over so you have to pay 30000 dirhams plus labour and tax which can 40000 dirhams nearly 11000 USD. I got shocked by their reply... mechanic told me they could have sensed this issue when I went for the 90k service as I've done all my periodic services from the agency itself otherwise it will void my warranty.... now I'm desperate dont know what to do ...took nissan as it was a reputed and reliable brand
So quick question I don't know what has been done to my 2013 mitsubishi lancer es that I just bought but I'm trying either change or flush the cvt transmission fluid. I already have the valvoline CVT fluid that says it's equivalent to the mitsubishi OEM. Can I just drain the transmission pan and add some of this Valvoline CTV fluid with whatever is left throughout the car??? Or will this mess everything up because they might be different brands?? Does that then mean I have to do a flush to get all of whatevers in there now out so it can be just the new CVT fluid?? I'm super confused and kinda scared to fuck everything up?? Thanks
I don't know the exact process for replacing cvt fluid in your vehicle. However, drain and fill is best vs flush. Do you have transmission dipstick on your Mitsubishi?
Can ns3 fluid be used in place of ns2 Murano 2007 I can find no data sheets that mention oil viscosity
I don't know. But you can use this fluid in your murano www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2007/nissan-datsun/murano/3-5l-6-cyl-engine-code-vq35de-2/?volume=us-volume&zo=5257753
Can you add Redline and Eneos to your next CVT fluid chart?
Thanks 👍👍❤❤
Subaru makes their own CVT's and so does Toyota and I believe Honda as well. Idemitsu is probably the fluid supplier for these three.
Toyota does not make their own cvt transmissions
Excellent information, Can I use CVT AMSOIL , for 2008 Nissan Rogue 2008 2.5lt? Thanks
Yes you can. www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2008/nissan-datsun/rogue/2-5l-4-cyl-engine-code-qr25de-e/?volume=us-volume&zo=5257753
My CVT has a paper filter and it’s not advertised. I just bought this car CPO at 32k miles and the paper filter was absolutely choked with dirt
The Nissan actually uses 2 filters if you buy the kit it shows the gasket, a metal filter and that small paper filter.
Hi. Do you recommend the Castrol for a 2015 Nissan Versa Cvt transmission?
My recommendation is to use amsoil, it's a lot a better product www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2015/nissan-datsun/versa/1-6l-4-cyl-engine-code-hr16de-a/?volume=us-volume&zo=5257753

What should i used just to add some fluid? I have a 04 g35 coupe automatic with Manuel mode? It has 180k miles and its a little low
Has the fluid been replaced before? Fluid leaks anywhere? Why is it low?
On my truck atf fluid was changed first time at 160k miles and now transmission has 226k miles on it.
Hi My friend. Good info as usual. Just a quick note. At 10:30 you talk about CST higher numbers removing heat better. It is actually the opposite. Higher viscosity retains heat and does not remove it as well as thinner. Not that it would honestly matter at such a small difference. 6.2 -7.1 cst at 100c is not much of a difference at all. Heat transfer coefficient reduces with increase in viscosity of fluids, which is basically due to more intermolecular forces, which perturbs the motion of molecules and hence, the convective mode of heat transfer is reduced
Thank you
Good info!
2012 Nissan Sentra SR 160k miles. Can I mix Valvoline CVT fluid or Castrol CVT fluid with the original Nissan NS2 oil, or do I have to do a full flush? Current transmission oil looks clean
For your information; today I put Idemitsu NS-2 in my 2010 Altima CVT with 102.200 miles on it. I could not find Castrol because so cheap. There is no problem so far but first day. I let you know if any problem in the near future.
Update?
Now I have 110K. No problem at all @@deviance3235
Hello, what transmission fluid do you recommend for a nissan sentra 2014 with 90,000 thousand miles?
This is what I recommend www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2014/nissan-datsun/sentra/1-8l-4-cyl-engine-code-mra8de-8/?volume=us-volume&zo=5257753
Hello how are you doing I was wondering if Castro’s CVT would work for my 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander SE?
I have not looked at castrol cvt atf specifications in long time and don't know if it's going to work
I’m thinking about using Amsoil synthetic CVT oil instead of NS3 for my 2015 QX60. What do think or should I use any other ? Thanks!
@@repairvehicle I have QX60 which CVT transmission. Q60 has conventional automatic transmission.
I am sorry, here is the correct transmission fluid for your car www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2015/infiniti/qx60/3-5l-6-cyl-engine-code-vq35de-2/?volume=us-volume&zo=5257753
Which brand do you recommend for ns3 ? I have 2013 altima ? Thanks for video very informational.
I recommend this fluid, www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2013/nissan-datsun/altima/2-5l-4-cyl-engine-code-qr25de-e/?volume=us-volume&zo=5257753
Thanks but i noticed in description for amsoil its only ns2 rating? And the nissan is saying it needs ns3?
from amsoil website under fluid description (Nissan NS-1, NS-2, NS-3)
what gearbox oil can i use for a Nisan Cefiro 230JM Can i just top up or i have to drain and put new one
We don't have your car here. Use quality synthetic gear oil.
I do a drain and fill on my 2012 Honda Civic transmission once a year. It only cost $21/year for 3 quarts and its good insurance.
smart man, me too. Fluid is cheap, transmissions are not.
I have a 2007 Nissan Murano with over 210,000 miles and drive it like a TrackHawk and I changed the cvt fluid for the first time and it’s still running great
Definitely false information, running great.
@@repairvehicle k
I'm assuming the Aisin NS-3 is good for 2013 Pathfinder, they go for about $7.39 a quart, can using other brands void a warranty?
Where does it say using other brands voids warranty? Aisin or Nissan CVT fluid, not much difference.
I purchased a 2010 Nissan March for my daughter. Do you have any idea what brand replacement can I use for the transmission fluid?
We don't have Nissan March here in US. Give me more detailed information about your Nissan.
Hi, I love the video. Can you make one for the Subaru CVTF II / high torque CVTF vs Amsoil/Castro CVT fluid?
It's same thing for Subaru as it's for Nissan. Amsoil is superior fluid vs factory oem.
Hello repairvehicle. I have 2017 Nissan Rogue never change the TRANSMISSION FLUID. Is there any other way to check the Transmission fluid level instead of fill up whatever you took out? Thank you very much....Does not have any Dipstick as well.
You have to connect a scan tool to measure temperature and then you measure level.
Nissan now makes a dip stick that you can buy from the dealer There are videos on you tube which will show you how to use it correctly when draining and re filling the CVT Also there is a inline paper filter that has to be changed It’s located by the oil cooler Videos also on you tube showing you how to do it and also the part numbers Nissan dealers lie and either tell you there is no paper filter or that it is not serviceable.
Awesome Video !

Hi. Jatco made most of the cvts for nissan and suzuki. My car is suzuki alto eco s its kei car from japan. It has jatco made steel belt driven cvt. In the user manual it states to ise only green 2 cvtf. Do you recommend me using amsoil or any other brand for this perticular car which uses only green 2 cvtf? As original green 2 is not available in my country. Thanks wlot for the detailed video and green 2 and nissan ns3 fluids are 100% same fluids i have compared the technical specifications of both. There is no difference at all
I would use amsoil if it’s available
@@repairvehicleyes its available
Thanks for the video Does Nissan (whoever makes it) NS3 work safely in NS2-required transmissions?
I don't know without looking at the specs.
Amsoil works definitely in both ways
Amsoil yes...Nissan no.
@@12MRJERSEY That is my main gripe with aftermarket CVT fluid. How can Amsoil work in both and Nissan doesn't? Without solid convincing facts I'd be hesitant to use something pretending to work everywhere.
If Nissan doesn't say then, why use it. Why use Nissan when there's better alternative. Amsoil formulates it's products to be superior, Nissan offers what ever is cheapest they can get and resell.
hi thanks for the very informative video and really appreciate the information shared would like to know what is the best interval to change engine oil for Nissan Rogue CVT ? and what will your recommendation be i keep hearing they needs to be changed every 60K will that be fine i have a Nissan rogue with 30K plus on miles dont know how bad the oil has being ..what will your recommendation be on this. Please advise
what is the engine size? How many miles per year do you drive? Do you use your Nissan for any delivery/Uber type services?
@@repairvehicle Engine Size: 2.5 L 4-cylinder, 15K miles an year to be precise and its 2019 AWD,SV model.. 2 plus years old now and i drive this for personal use no uber or lyft total miles is 34k
5k miles with cheap full synthetic oil. For cvt 30k miles.
@@repairvehicle I use full synthetic every 5 k so you recommend cvt change at 30k ?
Yes
