Hey thanks a lot!

Thank you so much for that tip!! And the comment about the video👍

Thank you for the additional information! I really appreciate it! Have a great Holiday season!

Holy cow!! Thank you for the information. I will check the next time the rouge comes in! Have a great week and thanks again!!

Does the fluid need to be drained first before replacing that one? How often should the pan be dropped and internal filter changed.I just drained and filled mu rogue sport at 48,000

I heard of that one too. I know mine has it but for certain ones I have heard of the parts department not being able to find it on the diagram. It is one of two things to blame, an incompetent parts specialist or their diagrams are not up to date.

@@jonmo2694 based on my research, at around 50-60k miles, the external filter (not sure if you have to drain the fluid first, my guess is no), internal filter (dropping the pan), and a drain and fill should be performed - drain and fill can be done more often depending on the colour of the fluid.

thanks for the kind words!

That makes sense on the magnets in the pan!! I have seen that before, never thought of that with this vehicle! Thanks for the kind words and the great added information!! Appreciate it!

My Mom's 2017 doesn't have the notch to push the clip from the side. I guess Nissan and Jatco got wise to it. I can see them doing it to keep people from just dumping any old transmission fluid in these. I have read a couple horror stories of a shop using regular ATF in CVTs and it will damage them. I don't know how soon the damage shows up but I don't want to find out. When it comes to CVTs some people cringe and say it will not last long. Well, that is especially true if ATF is in there. Hopefully you are not far from home if a CVT fails because of that because it will make the entire trip an ordeal with getting it to a shop, paying for a new CVT (assuming it was not warrantied and incorrect fluid is NOT). It is both horribly inconvenient and expensive.

@@charleshines1553 That cap on the older Nissan’s tranny dipstick doesn’t make it idiot proof for incorrect fluid. Just an annoyance, glad to hear that’s not there anymore. Yes, putting incorrect fluid in any CVT could be catastrophic.

Just make sure you measure the amount of fluid you remove. 🎉👍🥳🤩

Thanks a lot for the great real-time info about the Amzoil!! Stay safe and have a great New Year!

@@VadimNYC you’re welcome! And thanks for the kind words! Have a great rest of your week!

It’s just crazy what they charge for the fluids. Then if you don’t use their fluids it’s always in the back of your mind that something may go wrong. When I was researching the different brands I could use there just wasn’t any good information that was yea or nay for sure.

@@whatsnextgarage Is the fluid level right if the front one is done on ramps? I have the lower plastic ramps. I bough them because the metal ones we have for trucks don't go under far enough and they hit under the car. You can imagine that if you somehow got a car on those, you might damage the body some. I am not one of those people who has a car with the bumper cover sagging down giving the car a strange look. You may have seen what I am referring to with old Buicks from around 1995 but it can happen to any car really. My car is a Volkswagen and I don't notice them with that.

Just get AMSOIL ,no other brand beats the specs ,, NO I am not a dealer

No the rear diff is quite easy. The plugs are pretty tight though. Just get yourself the pump, I was going to take one of my wife’s shampoo pumps but picked up one online. Good luck and if you have questions, I’m usually pretty quick to respond.

Hi Mary, I have a 2017 Nissan Rogue and I changed the rear differential, transfer case and transmission fluid all to full synthetic from Amsoil, and it's been nothing but good all the way. 👍🇨🇦

@@404notfound..... thanks for the input

You’re welcome!! Have a great upcoming weekend!

😳that’s crazy!! I do t think I’d change it as often! Thanks for the kind words. Have a great remainder of the week.

do you need ns-3? i have a 2010 koleos (in argentina) with qr25 engine and jf011E CVT and manual says ns-2. It quite expensive anyway. I got a good price on "mannol 8216" oil, made in germany, and ns2 compliant.

@@facundonu I have a 2017 Nissan x--trail with a QR25DE engine, I don't know what transmission model it has, but it is CVT with manual mode. And in the user manual it indicates that Nissan CVT NS-3 should be used. Currently in Chile the cost of each quart is US$119. I have seen many cheaper alternatives in Mercado Libre (Honda, Wolver, Mannol, Castrol, etc)... but I don't know what is the detail of the viscosities of NS-3 to replace it with another brand. Fortunately I have at least 1 year left for maintenance. By the way...congratulations Argentina on qualifying for the quarterfinals

@@pangarden thanks! Yes, 2017 needs ns3, or at least manual says so. My Renault is older, probably previous generation gearbox.

lol Willy nilly 😀. I just replaced what I took out and because the system didn’t have any leaks I was good to go. If I had dropped the pan then for sure I would have ran the system up to temp, hooked up my scanner and read the trans temp, and added the proper amount to top it off. There is more than one way to get the same result. Have a great weekend!!

@whatsnextgarage copy. I'm glad there's more than one way to do it. Everybody else made it seem so complicated. I will try it in the future for sure!

WOW! That’s crazy!

🤔🤣🥳yup

I am not sure if the FWD rogue has a separate differential or if they are all combined. Easiest thing to do is look underneath and if there is a differential on the passengers side then I’d change that oil along with the CVT oil. Sorry I couldn’t be more help!

@@whatsnextgarage That’s a great suggestion, thank you so much for your help!!

Night storm, thanks so much for this comment!! I truly mean it!! You forced me to do research and find out the differences. I am 100% on board with your comment. First I have to say that Nissan recommends GL5 80w90 for the front and rear differential. Now to add more substance to your comment, GL4 has about 1/2 of the sulfur/phosphorus additive then GL5. What that additive does is build a wearable (sacrificial) layer between the meshing gear teeth. What you reference with softer material is true when they substitute GL5 for GL4 and the reason is the sacrificial layer is actually harder then the base metal of brass or other soft metal and allows a very tiny amount of that base metal to wear away instead of the sacrificial sulfur/phosphorus layer. So for DIY’ers doing fluid changes make sure you use OEM recommended lubricants in your vehicles. This link is where I found everything I paraphrased above. www.widman.biz/uploads/Transaxle_oil.pdf

I totally understand. Sometimes I think them guys just do that to confuse us and make a second guess.

@@whatsnextgarage I would love to try the Amsoil CVT fluid, but I’m afraid that God for bid something goes wrong then they will not honor the warranty. But please do another video when you do the external filter change

Lol they can be very close especially when the fastener is corroded a bit.

No if you want undercoating here you have to either do it yourself or find a shop that will do it for you. It’s how they keep the auto industry rolling🙄🤣🤣

Did you end up buying it? You probably needed the extension anyway?

Replaced what I removed.

The service is well worth it because it can save the drive systems and potentially higher cost repairs later on.

it threw me for a loop the very first oil change I did on a rogue.

Yeah me too, I've never seen it in that place but there it was

Thanks for the compliment. I did not recommend that to the customer it might not be a bad idea. It’s a very gray area just because there’s not a lot of information out there on doing it the way that I did.

I heard there was such a thing out there! Where did you get them?

where did u buy trans stick

@@BillSW ebay i think it was a about 15bucks my boy gat one for his 2019...he hd the trans serviced at nissan they cut it off...i was pissed of ..Nissan 2.5L, CVT Transmission ORIGINAL Dipstick 2007-up ALTIMA ,2015-up ROGUE they are now hard to find but these are the ones that work hope this helps

I would have been really angry that they cut it off!! Thanks for the information!

Yes it does

That makes no sense. Lubrication technology has come a long way for sure, however there is no magic lubricant that I know of that can continue to work in an extreme environment for ever. I am surprised the dealer would say something like that.

No I didn’t replace the gasket.

4 quarts was the cvt amount. The front and rear differential takes 1 quart between the both of them with the rear diff taking 1.1 pints. Make sure to fill until it comes out the overflow. They sell that pump at any auto parts store or you can steal the pump from a one gallon shampoo dispenser.

@@whatsnextgarage oh ok good to know. Thanks

@@NeutronX101 if you do the cvt drain and refill only, just make sure to measure what comes out so you can refill with that amount. Have a great upcoming weekend!

The Rogue is AWD so it is always rotating in both differentials. Because there is less fluid in the front differential that’s why it gets dirtier quicker. As far as the “drive line fluid maintenance” I will say yes, what I did in this video is drive line fluid. Transmission and differentials.

@@whatsnextgarage Wrong, I have to push a button to go into AWD. I never push that button unless I am stuck in the snow or mud.

@@crand20033 WOW!! I never knew they had the option!! Thanks for the correction! However I believe the front differential still rotates it’s just not locked in to engage the front wheels. Looks like I need to do some more research.

@@whatsnextgarage Also, when you put it into AWD you can't go any more than 25 miles per hour or the AWD will automatically disengage.

@@crand20033 ok now I understand. Somewhat. The AWD lock is a low speed regulator button that locks all 4 wheels in for better low speed traction. However when speeds reach 20 mph the AWD lock turns off. At which point most of the power goes to the front wheels until the intelligent system senses slippage then it diverts power to the rear wheels as well, for example a 70-30 or 60-40 split between front and rear.

Yes. Only need one quart

That’s a tough question to answer without knowing the details of said warranty. If the OEM recommended fluids topped to the OEM specified levels is adhered to, you would have a good argument if they didn’t honor it in the future.

@@whatsnextgarage thanks for the fast reply

@@Boston3737 you’re welcome! Have a great weekend!

Eu não trabalhei em um. Agora vou pesquisar para ver como funcionam. obrigado

That’s one of the reasons why I taught myself how to work on cars. Stealerships really think we’re stupid people.

Hey what next garage,does all Nissan rogue have differential if it fwd only thks

@@abe5316 I don't think so. Only AWD

I really don’t know. I would say no because it would all be built into the transmission at that point. Great question now I need to find out.

52733KH is the part# for the gasket. The plug is an m12x1.25 which is approximately .480 thou so .500 or 1/2” id for a copper crush washer would be fine.

@@whatsnextgarage thank you is the same part # for the cvt drain plug washer? I found it online part #11026-JA00A but the differential drain washers are silver and the one that nissan sells is copper. does this affect in any way?

@@elangelmon the Dorman number is 097-134. I believe they are all 12mm. Which is the .44 id size. The silver one is a crush washer also like the copper. But I prefer to use copper whenever I can. And your rogue is a pretty popular rig so use the dorman number and you should be good to go. I typically reuse the washers without issue. But one of these times it’s gonna bite me. Good luck!!

@@whatsnextgarage so u just kept the original washer for everything trans, oil, diffs x2?

@@BillSW yea, just had the vehicle back for some different service and all plugs are still dry and clean. I would have replaced them if they looked destroyed.

I believe there is

Guess I never made a video of me changing oil so I never really paid attention🤷‍♂️I was really excited to see that it was 5 qts🤣🥳

yanghui, here is a link to walmart for the bucket.

@@whatsnextgarage 🙏 Appreciate

yes I have, not sure what you mean? should the undercarriage be rust proofed?

I am not sure. I would just replace what you take out.

I tried using my oil dipstick on the transmission diphole and got no reading

@jlin if your draining at the plug warmer is better, much like an engine oil change. Just remember to measure the amount of oil you remove, that way you can get it back close to oem fill level. Hope that answers your question! Have a great weekend.

Agree with draining warm helps it flow faster, but tranny fluid volume is temp dependent. Since Nissan makes it difficult and not give you a dipstick to confirm level on refilling I would recommend you drain it warm, allow to cool to room temp, confirm volume drained, and refill with room temp fluid. PS thanks for the tutorial on removing the dipstick plug. I watched multiple versions, and every other one had either their hands or the radiator hose blocking the camera.

Good idea about letting it cool to ambient!!

$80 for the trans fluid, $40 for engine oil and filter and $14 for differential oil. So total was $134.

That’s a tough question to answer. There are tons of factors that go into engine oils, namely 0w-20 vs 5w-30. Broadly, the oils viscosity you choose is affected by temperature and driving habits. Cold temps and normal driving conditions, the manufacturers recommended 0w-20 is good but high outside temps and aggressive or “hard” driving habits may warrant the 5w-30. 0w-20 provides a slightly thinner oil film of protection which “experts” say can produce better fuel economy. However many argue that it is so negligible that it shouldn’t be compared that way. Older high mileage vehicles may benefit from the 5w-30 due to its ability at temperature to have a thicker oil film on moving components. Always use the manufacturer recommended oil type called out in the owners manual. That’s the route I always go.

It the same end that you use on your 3/8 ratchet. www.smithtoolsupply.com/Air-Tools/Impact-Sockets/Pipe-Plug/3/8in-Drive-x-3/8in-Square-Male-Pipe-Plug-Socket.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3bq0_a2Y9wIVwxatBh1UMgmhEAQYCCABEgIYEPD_BwE The end of this fits into the plug.

Not really sure about that. I’m going to dig in a bit and see.

Yes, there is a sump filter you see when you drop the pan, and another filter up above that in it's own housing. There's not much info on the upper filter, not in the service schedule and no torque specs for the housing bolts; I don't think many people change those ones out.
