I am a 35 year veteran mechanic...I want to thank you for emphasizing safety jacks...so many people get killed every year or hurt extremely bad from not using safety stands...it only takes a couple extra minutes to put them under...

This is probably the best video I've seen on how to change out CVT transmission fluid. Thanks for making excellent content!

That was a really well put together video for a small channel. You should keep going.

"Best" step by step video for changing transmission for oil for Nissan Sentra on youtube.

You might want to also consider changing the filter as well. I think that is an excellent idea to go back over the fluid after 50-100 miles. Additionall, you can get a Bluetooth adapter for the OBD2/service port and one of many scan apps, such as torque or stand alone scan apps just for transmissions, so that you can more precisely monitor the transmission fluid temperature and mirror a dealer, fluid change.

You’re a great teacher, explaining everything well, thank you

Good video. My wife's 2011 Nissan Versa CVT transmission has a dip stick. I take it to the dealership to get a flush between 30000 to 60000. It now has 140000 miles. Runs good.

Best video on this subject around - well done and thank you.

The best instruction yet on utube on getting the filler cap off. Good job!

Very informative!!! Job well done!!! Thanks so much!!

Thanks you ,,you're showing how to change transmission oil

This was a wonderful display on how to change the CVT fluid. I can do it myself now and avoid those charges the mechanics take. DIY game begins. Thanks for the video!

*Wicked trick/tip with using the oil dipstick* Love your safety. No point in dying.

Nice video with complete details of your work and very well said. I will do my transmission change myself according to your video. I subscribed your channel. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

Speaking of not making a mess…🤣 Thank you for taking one for the team. 😆 FYI: that very funnel, should have a rotate-lock/close valve right before the tubing. Could have shut off the flow and not overfill the bottle.

Nice video, just did the fluid change on my '14 Nissan Murano. Used the same Castrol Fluid, however I used a Fluid Extractor Pump instead of going under the car. @90,000 km the CVT Fluid was dark green/brown and 4 quarts came out. For $85 I highly recommend using an External Fluid Pump to extract the oil for Transmissions.

4:10 ".. In front of it, there's gonna be a FILTER" You GOT THAT? lol Thanks for the video.

Big kudos for the thorough safety measures, safety is paramount!

Great video - very informative!

GREAT VIDEO. Love the details

Nice job, this video help me to save money $$$

Thank you for helping me shut my air bag light off !

I contacted Castrol, they recommend doing a FULL flush. So that their fluid doesn't mix with any factory fluid. Like on my Civic it's about 8 qrts. So I simply did 2 drain and fills. I used the Castrol universal ATF/CVT fluid. What a difference that made. I swear it's better than the Honda stuff! It's a process, I did mine per the Honda factory repair manual. Waiting for the fans to come on with that tiny 1.5 T took forever. It was well worth it though.

Young man,Good Job.

Great instructional video! Thank you

Thanks for the very informative video

Ahhh thank you so much for showing me how to take that cap off. Now I see that my Nissan Sentra 2018 probably doesn’t have a dipstick. But I couldn’t get that cap off. I took out the coolant tank so I could have easier access. I’m most positive I need to have the transmission fluid changed because my RPM jumped randomly while I was driving on the freeway. I then thought that it could have been something else. But the way it jolted when I hit the reverse. Thank you for this video. I wanted to check my transmission fluid but I’ll just take it to a mechanic for them to check.

Great video. I'm going to change mine. Hope it fixes the slipping issue my car has started having

Did you do more changes and how is the castrol for the cvt. Is it smooth(Er). I found out Nissan dealer sells the trans dipstick. ($25).how many miles got now. I have 15 rogue.40k miles Unhappy with the axel oil 75w-90. Changed to mobile one much better/smoother clocked, 3 k miles in a week very good. And use penzoil synthetic 5-30w.engine . Better the OEM. Thanks

I’m glad I came across this video! I have a 2015 Sentra and I’m at 80k miles. I’m skittish about messing with the CVT but I’m also not a fan of coughing up $200+ to the dealer or any service shop lol

Amazing video will be doing this soon on my 2016 Sentra (:

Great help video!!

Great vid. Awesome. Cheers! 🤝

I have zero blank about car, but I will get my first car with CVT, this video definitely knowledge.

Excellent video!!! Is there no trans filter in CVTs?

i’ve changed my cvt fluid in my mitsubishi mirage 2014 i know that the cvt fluid level needs to be checked when the oil is hot can i keep the engine on for 15-20 minutes or i need to drive it?

Nice video! Thanks.

we don't bash u for the mess cause the content was still awesome bro.

Bro i had a question I’ve seen in other videos that they idle the car for like 15 min shift the gears so that the fluid temperature is correct but then drain the fluid so that it levels its self out

exelente video gracias a los subtitulos entendi el 90 porciento del video gracias. good job sir.

What do you think about the other procedure, overfilling the cvt with about 4-5 quarts and letting it level out while running. That's how they did it at the dealership twice for me.

Well done, most or all details covered. This is the 5th video like this and one thing I gotta ask. Is there a rule from your training or from utube that says you have to! Say (So here, you are gonna go ahead...) or ( I'm gonna go ahead and...) every guy in 5 videos say that, not 1 or 2 but many times. Just wondering? Still a good instructional video. Cheers.

I work for a Nissan dealership. He did it wrong. Just drain the cvt fluid and be sure to remove that little self leveling tube as well to drain it faster. Be sure to use the right color fluid because it will void your warranty. Nissan use NS-2 ( green in color ) or NS-3 ( blue in color). When you have the fluid drained out, you can use a very small 1/4 inch wratch with a swivel head & a 10mm socket to remove the tube from on top of the cvt fluid pan ( be surenot to burn yourself ), it is right on top where the drain plug is. Be sure NOT to lose the rubber o-ring that is on it. After it all drained out. Put the drain plug with the self leveling tube as well & the tube back on and make sure that o-ring is on and tighten it back on the pan with the 10mm socket. Add 5 qts of cvt fluid, then start the car. Run it till the cvt gets hot then drain the cvt fluid again. Do not remove the self leveling tube at this time, just let it drain till it stops. Then put the drain plug back on and make sure the drain plug has a new crush ring. Then go back and put the cap back on the cvt tube. Nissan highly recommends to do a cvt service every 30k miles.

Cristian, this video is awesome; thank you for showing us how to change the transmission oil, good job body. Let me tell you what’s going on with my 2013 Nissan Sentra. When I start driving it everything is normal but once it reaches at 40mph it feels that accelerates and feels like the overdrive activates it gets stuck for 15 seconds and then it goes back to normal then it does it again once it reaches 70mph. Four mechanics had checked it and everyone gives a different opinion; from transmission to sensors to filters; what is funny though is that the scanner is not reading any code. What should I do any suggestions please. Thank you

Will doing this cause the car to idle at lower rpm?? On the highway it feels like its takes longer to get up..

Great video thanks

Thank you dear for this video but there is part very important ,it's transmission filter must change it if you changed the fluid ,,if not you didn't do any thing ,,its mean the same because if the filter block the transmission will break.

Do you think we can put the exact amount of fluid in that comes out?

Do you know of a good chemical additive that would reduce slipping in my 2013 Nissan Sentra ? I’ve already changed the fluid and both filters.

hi bro i hve 2014 nissan pulser cvt auto suggest me how much transmission fluid capacity becz i added 4 liter only

My wife's 2007 Nissan Altima has the same type of tab but she has a dipstick on hers. I've been having some problems about every 6 months and normally I just changed the spark plugs and I've changed the coil packs and it fixed the problem but this time I can hold the accelerator to the floor and it doesn't want to move it takes a minute and then it'll kick in like a power band on a dirt bike lol so I think this time it might be the transmission and I have no freaking clue how to work on a CVT transmission or what the first damn thing is that I should do to diagnose the problem. Any suggestions?

How often do you have to change the cvt oil how many miles have to have thank you

Good job buddy

im having problem leveling my altima because the driveway has a little slop ,how to level the car ? i want to use a bubble level and put it on the door step ,is that a good level place ? or is not on level ?

By the way , good idea for checking fluid level before and after fluid change.

Hello friends I have a problem with nissan pathfinder with CVT transmission. Like in the 3rd gear you fell like the transmission is being pulled back or not changing the next gear(

Have a question. Have a 13 rogue with 192k on it. Started having some light hesitation on acceleration from a stop. Little jerks, maybe 2 to 3. Get up to speed fine. Way home from work last week had a very low whine at 70 on the turnpike. Took my exit and coming to a stop it jerked at below 10 coming to a stop. Accelerating it did the same thing, more jarring than the previous issue but after 10 to 15 mph it ran fine no issues. Possible causes? Bad valve body? Ordered one going to see if that helps. Speed sensor?

Where are you located..super great video.. I have 2014 sentra. 60kmiles I want to change my transmission fluid

2013 mitsubishi outlander, never changed it, is it okay to change it!?! Note got the car around 2019

Great and very useful video. I think you said that this car has 80k miles but if getting to the 100K miles range we should check first for burnt smell before changing it. My daughter's 2013 Versa has 90k on it and I was planning on changing it over the weekend. What do you recommend? Thanks again

Question. I have a 2013 nissan Altima s. Transmission question. When accelerating or even going down a hill with pedal pushed or not. It has a wine/roar sound. When accelerating it seems to not catch. Aka slip. What should I checked first. I just got this ride. It has 163000 miles on it. Besides that it runs great. I don't have or know the maintenance history. Thank you for your video. You made it look so easy.

I’m at 188k never changed the fluids 2010 Nissan Altima is it too late

What if I have had leak and don't know how much fluid was there to begin with?

Great job

You should also drop the pan and clean the magnets from the metal shavings and the screen filter. When I dropped my pan I didn't even have to change the gasket it went right back on a didn't leak.

What did you do? Push the metal tab from underneath the cap? From the bottom of it? I'm not sure I can get to it that way.

Hey I went to the dealership about this same sound and they told me it's a pump failure. Will this flush still work to fix the whining?

A question about the part that you pulled out of the transmission. Why is that necessary??? Thank you. I have a 2013 Nissan Quest and am about to change the fluid...

Hi what do you know that cvt transmission have a external filter

my current transmission fluid nissan ns3 looks green. Is it ok if I use pink one?

Bro, i know on a 2014 nissan altima they have a plug u fill ans u will never overfill it. After u fill they amount u rhink u have gotten our, you fill through this plug like u do a older rearend. It will drip out, then start the car and and it will spit out the amount, the way i understand when it stops coming out then u are at the right level. U are correct about starting the car, u must get the trans fluid about 100-110degrees F to be at right temp

I did a full CVT fluid and filters change and it's still whining,foese from low sound to high pitch when pass 2000RMP

Muy bien tu vídeo me gustó gracias

great job

isn't the screw with the allen key head hollow to tell you when the transmission fluid is full by overflowing through the hole?

1. Is there a filter involved? If so,when does it need changing? 2. If it's as easy as shown in this video then why won't some businesses change the fluid on cvt transmissions? Both Goodyear and a Express oil lube place told me that they didn't service cvt transmissions. So I'd have to go to a Nissan dealership to get my fluid changed.

My experience on my 90,000mile 2015 Yaris 1.3L CVT here in the UK.....i got genuine Toyota FE & your oil is compatible with mine! But here in the UK i can't find yours,similar ones are £16.50 for 1L, a 5L Toyota FE is £50. Mine takes 2.2L so i changed it again a week later. Mine was real dark 1st drain,2nd drain a bit brighter....similar to yours.

Does the car still work since you didn’t use Nissan brand oil?

Thank you so very much, I need to add some fluid to my wife's nissan versa, dont ask how I know it needs fluid!!🤣 yes I unscrewed the wrong bolt 🔩 trans instead of oil, not much came out but I just anxious about there's not enough in there

Help please I changed my fluid with new gasket and filter and transmission whines and doesn’t go into gear

Hi guys, how know which car has a CVT transmission ? Help me please thanks.

Most common problems transmission so how I know if no good transmission in order to replace it ? Cuz I try buy one car with saying transmission problems

Do you recommend doing a CVT change after 115k miles ? Of course I would have to look at the conditions of the fluid first

does the Napkin have to be Blue

I noticed your oil filter looks like a yellow Purolator, which they quit making about 8 years ago. (I also used the yellow Purolator oil filter then.) You may want to make an oil change video on this car.

in necesary replace the filter of the transmission?

There are 2 transmission filters seems useless to change the fluid and leave potentially clogged filters in there

Thank god my Juke came with a Dipstick but its still the same procedure for it, I don't trust the Oil stick cause it can slid into pan further and give a false reading.. A good rule of thumb is to measure what comes out and put back the same amount.. Nice Vid though..

Muchisimas gracias, tienes muy buena manera d explicar paso x paso todo el proceso, te lo agrasco Saludos desde San Diego Ca!!

Thank you

So I don’t make a mess!! Hee hee.

Thanks for the great great video 👍👍 But the only thing wrong in this video is don't go cheap on cvt please buy the original Nissan cvt trans oil, it should says NS2 or Nissan NS3 good luck guy.

Did you go to school/work for automotives or is this just from experience? You are great with step by step instructions.

The best way to remove all the old fluid is a flush and you can do it yourself. I do mine from the radiator return line pretty simple process.

How much was the oil at atto zone. ?

Hey is your Nissan still running without any transmission issues?

Thankyou 👍👍💪

What sort or brand of Nissan you are working on . I guess this is a front wheel drive .this things should be mentioned in the start of the video .

+1 αν προσπαθησες και εσυ να βρεις αν εχει αλλα βιντεο ο συγκεκριμενος KZfaqr

Great job. Very thorough im wondering how this car held up. Im finicky when it comes to mixing tranny fluid.
