@@ssjMaximum22Goku You don't have to take them to a dealer. We take our (Australian market) 2010 Nissan Maxima 2.5 V6 to a trusted mechanic. When it comes to the CVT, he sends it to an automatic transmission specialist who do CVT maintenance everyday. Our car recently clicked over 75,000 kms (47k miles) and they said the oil was clean as a whistle when doing the CVT oil change. I tell my wife the same two words over and over "mechanical sympathy" When the car is cold, baby it when taking off and driving until it gets warm and avoid really hard off the line starts, take off smoothly before giving it the beans. I am hopeful, I'll get another 10 years and 100,000 kms (62.5k miles) out of it with regular maintenance and mechanical sympathy. The car is just extremely smooth to drive, it really is a joy. I would be heart broken if the transmission gave out. Two neighbours had the same car and both did over 150,000 kms (93k miles) without any CVT transmission issue.

@ViolentMLG 4 жыл бұрын

@@naywahn Its called poor quality control. Its why one person may have a car do 300K miles with minimal issues while other blew the motor at 100K, and another blew the tranny at 50K. Its why Toyota is considered so reliable, its not just their engineering, while that is a part of it, any of these companies can engineer a reliable car, its not tough, but having the QUALITY CONTROL to ensure that every engine/transmission that leaves your facility is built to 100% efficiency is another story. This is why you'll hear scotty yell "Mercedes are money pits". Yet he'll also say "Unless you live in Germany". Same car, same engine/transmission/everything else, so what gives? Well, they're manufactured in Mexico, or America, where the workers do a way worse job at quality control when putting the cars together. The standards over here are different than there. Toyota rewards people for finding problems, other car brands would probably fire you/ignore it. Just how it goes. The location/factory will depend allot on how the cars coming out of that factory are as far as quality goes. This is why one EXP may be great, another terrible, but if you average that out, that's a 50/50, not REALLY worth the risk, whereas a Toyota ensures that 100% of customers all get the same quality regardless of factory/location, and therefore, they are considered reliable. So to answer your question, if what you're saying is true, its because the cars manufactured in Canada/Europe are held to higher standards in the manufacturing process, though, even in those circumstances, the best Nissan factory still probably doesn't compare to the best Toyota factory.

Hi Scotty, I Iive in the south of Brazil, and have just bought a 2016 Sentra SV with 59k kilometers. It´s my second Sentra as I had a 2008, which I bought it brand new, both with CVT. The first one I used it for 11 years with no problems at all, but I'm a low mileage guy and I sold the 2008 in Nov 2018 with only 50K kilometers. So, it's my first used Sentra and the first thing I´ll do is to check and change the CVT fluid, as a preventive action, everything else in the car seems ok. Back in 2008 I chose Sentra after comparing it with the Corolla, and decided to buy the Sentra because if you buy a Corolla that costs the same as a Sentra you will have to take home a basic model, this is the Toyota price strategy used for the brazilian market. For example, the chepeast Corolla that costs the same as a mid range version of the Sentra does'nt even have a cruise control, and that sucks. So, because of high prices and lack of comfort equipments compared to the Sentra and for the type of use I make with my cars (5k kilometers per year), I chose Sentra that has a better cost benefit, in my case. Thanks for the videos!

Thanks Scotty Your videos saved me lots of money 💰. I have a 2018 Nissan Sentra. 225000+ miles I drive for uber. I change my cvt fluid every 50000 miles and do my oil change every 5000 miles. My check engine comes on today. So like you say I check with the battery first and my positive connection was cracked and loose. I buy the 20$ part and ask the guy behind the counter to Hook up to my car and scan it. It gave him a Cat converter code. But I remember what you said about loose terminals and false codes. So I went home change the connector. And check engine went away. Thanks Scotty for these videos you save me money. I didn't need a cat converter.

After this recommendation and some of his others where he said previously not to buy they are endless money pits I will take what Scotty says with a grain of salt. Many times it depends on whether a vehicles has been properly maintained--not all GMs are junk especially my 99 S-10 that I had for 20 1/2 years. The difference is that I maintained my S-10 and I doubt a similar Tacoma would have done much better because I would have maintained it the same way. A poorly maintained vehicle is always going to be less reliable than a similar vehicle that has been well maintained.

Almost bought one like this a couple of years ago, it was for sale at a Chrysler dealer for a very cheap price so immediately became suspicious. Turns out it had been in a rear end accident which had been repaired but it was obvious whoever painted the bumper did not do a great job in matching the paint. Even so it seemed like an OK deal but because it had the CVT I decided to walk away. For a little more money bought a 2017 Elantra, 35,000 miles later and absolutely no problems, been a great car.
