Fun fact, Amzoil makes Nissan OEM Transmission fluid and it will not void the warranty if you use Amzoil synthetic fluid rated NS-3. Blew my mind when I discovered that as well. Good and thorough video. Thank you for sharing.
excellent video tutorial, thank you very much. I have a 2019 and beyond the money I save is the dubious patience or attention to detail that the people at the dealership offer me beyond not being able to see your vehicle during the service. Again, thank you very much.
Great job man,As a Nissan costumer since 2003 no issues people like to talk trash about Nissan cvt transmission,my 2016 Pathfinder with 100k miles no issues changed the fluid every 30k miles
I have 193,000 miles on my 2018, I change it every 60,000 miles and I tow often with it. And to the other commenter, there is no filter on this transmission per the dealership.
For those DIY'rs that don't have an expensive comp and are worried about not enough fluid being added, you can measure what's been dumped. I've done this with CVT's and normal automatics that require VERY specific amounts or damage may be done. Use a measuring cup and record exactly how many cups have been dumped out of the trans and record it. Clean the cup and refill it with the precise amount of fluid to go back in. I've never had any problems using this method.
Great informative DIY. I just did CVT fluid change on my 2015 Infiniti QX60 that shares the same engine as the Pathfinder. I used a Milwaukee thermal gun to measure oil temp. Thanks a lot for posting this. Removing the CVT fill cap is enough challenge already till I came across your video. Infiniti is quoting me $520 for this service.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! We absolutely love our 2013 Quest with its smooth and problem-free CVT!!! It's by far the best and most reliable minivan we've ever owned!!! (Our last Sienna died from the infamous and catastrophic Toyota oil sludge defect. 😵🤬) The Quest has better quality than the last-generation cheaply-made, but immensely popular Sienna and it's tons more comfortable and reliable than the Odyssey!!! We're so happy and glad we chose Nissan!!!
Spot on! Perfect DIY CVT Trans change for Nissan. Appreciate the extra info. such as temp scanner vs computer trans temp. I've done the same with never more than 3 degress variance. Again, fantastic video.
Thank you for your excellent video. I don't have a Nissan ,but I will inherit a 2015 RAV4 with CVT. This video is a good learning tools and good reference on the skill. Thank you again for the video 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for a detailed drain and fill. I was getting ready to do mine soon and I was thinking of doing it without a scan tool, now I will use one to get it right. I know they're not cheap. I Love my 2017 Pathfinder platinum.
got a 2013 pathfinder. had factory change transmission fluid 2 years ago, still running good over 140,000 miles. does hesitate going up hills from dead stop but i just take it slow. Thanks for the video!
Very thorough and informative information on the CVT. We have the same 2017 Pathfinder and I have the autel mp 808. So this information is great, thank you.
I change my CVT fluid every 10k miles. My experience with these CVT's that you can never change this fluid enough. And upgrade to Amsoil CVT fluid. I have a 2015 QX60, and it runs like a top.
Ever had a P0868 code? Mines a 2013 JX35 and just cleared 116k runs smooth as glass still so I'm truly confused after researching P0868 code and symptoms. Hoping it's just low fluid.
@gfysyoutube well, I did the trans fluid change, including replacing the internal filter for the transmission and the external filter for the trans oil cooler filled up with 5 1/4 quarts and shes running just as good as before which wasn't bad at all. Oil quality was "used" condition and not burned. Minimal amount of build up on the pans magnets as well, so I think it had been serviced at 60k with at the least a dump and pump.
Technically, that green NS3 CVT fluid is produced by Idemetsu. This fluid is much lower rated put up against Amsoil or Castrol Duramax CVT fluid in heat resistance ability and breakdown. (Should be cheaper too?) Just sayin-
After watching so many of these videos, I find that it’s rare where anybody talks about the external housing filter. This paper element catch’s 90 % of dirty material before it gets to the screen.Many Nissan cars use these filters and changing these really eliminates have to drop the pan.
If I'm doing the first ever drain and fill on my QX60, what's wrong with draining the CVT fluid, accurately measuring the volume drained and replacing it with the exact same amount?
Great job! You're the first I've seen quote the service manual volume for a drain and fill. Thanks for the tips, my 2018 appreciates them all! Keep it up!
Your videos are high quality and extremely informative, feels as if I'm being taught onsite. Very well done. My only question is, do we not need to remove the pan and change any filter? Thank you in advance.
The instruction shown in the video is per Nissan Service Manual. Nissan does not require changing of the filter. There is a filter that can be accessed on the outside higher up on the transmission. You can change it, but again even Nissan dealers don't change it.
You can use the temperature gun or a temperature probe on the oil coming out of the drain plug and level drain to accurately measure the temperature, just don’t point it to the oil pan itself as it won’t read accurately.
Very good video. IMO, the transmission dipsticks were deleted for cost savings. I would never use an impact gun on the fluid plugs/bolts. Very risky for a a couple of critical bolts. I also recommend to loosen the overflow/fill plug/bolt 1st on any vehicle. If you can't get that one loose or out for any reason, you don't want to drain the fluid!
When you drain the transmission fluid on it and do a drain and fill, you measure the amount of fluid that you take out, and you simply put that amount back into the vehicle.
I lol'd when you said this should be done every 30-40k miles. I have a 2015 with 120k miles on it, and I've never done the transmission fluid change on it. Ive heard that these CVTs have typically crapped out on people anywhere from 60k-100k miles, so I'm also well passed that mark. I'm debating whether I should even worry about changing this fluid now, or just wait for the CVT to die 😅.
Nissan dealership sold me some NS2 fluid for my 2013 nissan altima. He base that off some chart that he was reading off behind the counter. After changing i felt some slippage . I then look in my manuel and its telling me i need Ns3. Now i have to go back to the dealership tomorrow and find out whats going on
Nice tutorial! I just did a CVT fluid change on my 2020 pathfinder. When I drained the fluid, 4 quarts came out of the pan. So I put back 4 quarts in. I did all the instructions on the video, and checked the temperature with a scanner. When I opened the check bolt, almost half a quart came out. So did my CVT is overfilled from the factory?
I’m shocked your not changing the two filters and pan gasket? It’s impossible to keep this cvt running at 100% without at least a complete filter change at 40k like clockwork as replace of these transmissions is over $6k up
Great video! My QX60 is at 45,000 miles and has never had the fluid changed. I assume I can just add the amount of fluid that comes out of the transmission back into the transmission considering there has been no work on the transmission or the transmission cooler.
That will work assuming the oil level is correct to begin with. I know you said no one has touched it since new from the factory, but that's a risky assumption.
IS that possible just insert an oil extrator tube from top an suck up the fluid and replace the same volume new fluid in and call it done. Since you can really can empty all old fluids an not need torun the engine to temp...etc
The method you mentioned will not guarantee you have the proper fluid level. CVT fluid volume changes quite a bit with temperature. This is the reason Nissan took away the dipstick because they don't want people to check level with it. The method I showed in this video is per the Nissan service manual. You are the car owner, so you can decide how you want to do this service but just keep in mind replacing a CVT transmission cost $4000-$8000.
Very well detailed video. I'm going to use the thermometer method, and pray nothing is wrong, I was driving my 2017 Pathfinder and I started having and issue of it feeling like it's slipping. When it does that, it's like the vehicle's engine goes into limp mode. Well now it's shuttering. But I'm going to try to change the fuilds. Also, your video only covers the 2 wheel drive model, what about the 4 wheel?
Any update about your 2017 nissan pathfinder. Ive got the same issue but after doing the transmission fluid change i got a code P0715 which is the speed sensor.
Dont wast the money on Nissan fluid,buy the stp or Valvoline cvt its around 9-10$ pint i am using it on my 2017 maximum sr and my 2021 maximum platinum have about 25k on the fluid and it is perfect
FANTASTIC VIDEO! Lots of great and detailed info! Do you have a video on removing and replacing the tranny fluid filter? I'd like to see that one too. Thank You very much! 👍
Hi! Thanks and great job. And what do you say about resetting the electronic parameter "Oil aging" that is carried out in the service after an oil change? This must be done without fail!!! Otherwise, the box will not work correctly. Привет! Спасибо и отличная работа. А что вы скажите по поводу сброса электронного параметра "Старение масла" что проводят в сервисе после замены масла? Это надо делать обязательно!!! А то коробка будет работать не корректно.
Boy does that overflow fluid look clean compared to mine. Just did the first service at 35k and it was black and full of metal bits. Not good at all. I’m going to do it again in 5k and see how she looks.
Now I know if I ever take the Rogue to a shop and they messed with the cooler or transmission check the fluid level. I have heard these could be underfilled some but don't overfill. I would rather just get it right.
Hi .. Nice one. Just wondering.. Do you also lubricate your suspension as part of your regular home maintenance? That is add grease to ball joints etc via zerk or needle into the rubber boot ?
Great video. I just purchased a 2012 Quest. I am intending to service the cvt asap and have the fluids , filter, and pan gasket. This vehicle does have the dipstick. So if I’ve got the temp in the right range , using that dipstick should be good , I think . Do you agree? I just called the local Nissan dealer and they said they don’t change that filter in the pan, but “flush 3 times “ and charge me 350 for that. The vehicle is in spectacular shape and has 185,000 miles and so far the cvt works great and I intend to stick to that 30k interval.
What the dealer told you is correct. The Nissan dealer does not change the filter as part of the service. They only do a drain and fill. But if you want to do the filter change, then that's up to you. Since you have a dipstick, you can see how dark the tran fluid is. If it's really dark or smell burnt, then you can do the drain and fill couple of times and drive some miles between fluid change.
@@dial2fast thank you for the response. Not sure if I have that overflow bolt set up. I am still waiting for everything to come so I can get the whole thing on jack stands and do all the maintenance items like oil and filter, air and cabin filter, PS and brake fluid , coolant and suspension inspection all in one go. Once I’ve got it in the air I’ll see if I have that set up you show. I’m sure it does. Thank you again. Oh I’ve since leaned that there is even a second filter I can service as well.
@@dial2fast alright I have done the service. I can’t find the overflow bolt. Anyways I have a dipstick and measured how much came out and replaced it with about 4.25 quarts of Nissan NS2. I changed the inside pan filter and the outside one (not a cartridge but a very beefy all metal one with a hose going in and a hose coming out ) anyways even though it has a dipstick the manual doesn’t say how to check it. The dipstick has a checkered hash range and then had the word higher on the stick just saying hot but no range on that. So I don’t know the right way to check this. I haven’t driven it yet
Just did this service, when I measured what came out, with the overflow drip, I had about 2.5 quarts. Severely low, but the car was in an accident on the right side, I'm wondering if they had the same cooler line removal yours did.
Came back to thank you again. I've noticed my rpms are running at a lower rate at higher speeds. I no longer hear a growl at slow speeds. I've gone about 10K miles with low fluid. Hopefully I've avoided some damage by doing this service.
It will until it doesn’t anymore, I have done drain and fill fluid in my 2015 Rogue S and no issues at 110k I’ll be doing another one at 120k miles and change filter
That fluid looked pretty bad. I think I would change it more often. CVTs run hot and require coolers to last. Driving a car with a steel belt rubbing against a steel pulley creates a lot of hot friction compared to a regular geared old school transmission. You won't find CVT transmissions in trucks. They'd burn up in a week. CVTs are weak cheap transmissions that came about only because EPA kept raising mpg requirements.
Would you be able to remove the pan and do a filter replacement on your next service? This video was great but it would be awesome to also see how to service the filter and pan gasket as well.
This service I showed is following the Nissan service manual (Nissan does not replace the filter). But for this CVT, the filter actually can be accessed and changed from outside the transmission. Higher up on the outside, there is a cover that you can remove and change the filter.
So basically what you are saying is, take it to your dealer. That scanner costs more than all the services ever needed on a vehicle throughout its life.
He didn't say take it to the dealer. He suggested u can use the scanner or the cheaper hand scanner. Which if u do it urself. With the savings it be free...
No, you don't need to spend that kind of money for scanner, i purchased from eBay $ 15 scanner, it show all live data, i did used that $15 scanner and everything ok
Thats not the way I do it at all. I get all 5 qt out. Drop the pan, and clean. Replace the pan screen filter, also tranny cooler filter, not doing this is a terrible idea 😮 I use Valvoline oil, because nissan NS3 is not very good oil 😢
I am fixing to change the small oil filter cooler for the first time ever on this vehicle that has 160,000 miles but I’m afraid to drop the pan and change the 4 quarts because of how long it’s been without so I am thinking of just thinking of changing the oil cooler filter to clean some of the debris if any what do you think?
I have 2013 and I’ve been using Valvoline CVT tranx fluid for years. Still driving smooth and saves me a lot of money.
Fun fact, Amzoil makes Nissan OEM Transmission fluid and it will not void the warranty if you use Amzoil synthetic fluid rated NS-3. Blew my mind when I discovered that as well.

Where can you buy those tools you been using for measuring cvt oil temperateture
The best video on the subject. Thank you.
This was a high quality service video. Thank you!
I do my CVT fluid change at every 10-15k miles, changed 2 filters at 46k miles. I do my best to make sure the CVT dont break before I sell the car.

Is there a video on how to replace this external filter? I have a 2020 Infiniti QX60.
I liked most of this video as I’ve done the same with the exception of “lifting the vehicle up and level” with my 16 rogue an now own a 20 maxima.
Nice clear video, I use Idemitsu N3 since it's less expensive and is one of Nissan's OEM suppliers.
Thanks for sharing the information. It will be helpful for everyone.
Great video, dealers annoy me when they say the transmissions are sealed for life, you can clearly see the fluid difference from old to new
So when would you drop the pan, clean the magnets, change the pan filter and change the other external CVT filter?
Nicely done video. Far, far better than all the rest I have seen.
In fact..on my 2019 Maxima...I never do just a fluid change...always filters too.
Excellent job on this video! Well done.
Thank you for a very good and clear and precise teaching I truly learned alot

If you change the fluid often enough or on time it isn’t necessary to change it. If you got your car used and don’t know the history then change it.
I have 211k and never done 😂

Love your videos. Can you do a video outlining how to change the filers please?
It’s real professional,thanks for share your video.
Men thanks! Helpful video step by step
Wow a very well done how to do video!! Great 👍 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video! My QX60 is at 45,000 miles and has never had the fluid changed. I assume I can just add the amount of fluid that comes out of the transmission back into the transmission considering there has been no work on the transmission or the transmission cooler.
That will work assuming the oil level is correct to begin with. I know you said no one has touched it since new from the factory, but that's a risky assumption.
Why can i not use the old school method to fill same amount as drained .e.g 4QT out 4Qt in?
IS that possible just insert an oil extrator tube from top an suck up the fluid and replace the same volume new fluid in and call it done. Since you can really can empty all old fluids an not need torun the engine to temp...etc
The method you mentioned will not guarantee you have the proper fluid level. CVT fluid volume changes quite a bit with temperature. This is the reason Nissan took away the dipstick because they don't want people to check level with it. The method I showed in this video is per the Nissan service manual.

Thank u u are the best
But u didnt talk a bout filters magnate one and paper one?????
If it's not moving on drive or Rev could it be that it's needs transmission fluid change

I am still waiting for everything to come so I can get the whole thing on jack stands and do all the maintenance items like oil and filter, air and cabin filter, PS and brake fluid , coolant and suspension inspection all in one go. Once I’ve got it in the air I’ll see if I have that set up you show. I’m sure it does. Thank you again. Oh I’ve since leaned that there is even a second filter I can service as well.
@@dial2fast alright I have done the service. I can’t find the overflow bolt. Anyways I have a dipstick and measured how much came out and replaced it with about 4.25 quarts of Nissan NS2. I changed the inside pan filter and the outside one (not a cartridge but a very beefy all metal one with a hose going in and a hose coming out ) anyways even though it has a dipstick the manual doesn’t say how to check it. The dipstick has a checkered hash range and then had the word higher on the stick just saying hot but no range on that. So I don’t know the right way to check this. I haven’t driven it yet
That was and awesome diy video...thanks.
you seem to know what you are doing..............thanks you
Thank you
Just did this service, when I measured what came out, with the overflow drip, I had about 2.5 quarts. Severely low, but the car was in an accident on the right side, I'm wondering if they had the same cooler line removal yours did.
Came back to thank you again. I've noticed my rpms are running at a lower rate at higher speeds. I no longer hear a growl at slow speeds. I've gone about 10K miles with low fluid. Hopefully I've avoided some damage by doing this service.
Thank you for sharing.
The Nissan dealer advises never need to service CVT transmission. My Rogue Sport has done over 113k miles and CVT works perfectly.
It will until it doesn’t anymore, I have done drain and fill fluid in my 2015 Rogue S and no issues at 110k
I’ll be doing another one at 120k miles and change filter
That fluid looked pretty bad. I think I would change it more often. CVTs run hot and require coolers to last. Driving a car with a steel belt rubbing against a steel pulley creates a lot of hot friction compared to a regular geared old school transmission. You won't find CVT transmissions in trucks. They'd burn up in a week. CVTs are weak cheap transmissions that came about only because EPA kept raising mpg requirements.
Fluid always should be changed. It gets old shavings out of the trans.
Excelente videos, felicitaciones
Hmm I am interested in the lab test result for the old fluid.
Would you be able to remove the pan and do a filter replacement on your next service? This video was great but it would be awesome to also see how to service the filter and pan gasket as well.
This service I showed is following the Nissan service manual (Nissan does not replace the filter). But for this CVT, the filter actually can be accessed and changed from outside the transmission. Higher up on the outside, there is a cover that you can remove and change the filter.
Could you make a video how to change spark plugs on Nissan Pathfinder 2013-2020? Thanks!
So basically what you are saying is, take it to your dealer. That scanner costs more than all the services ever needed on a vehicle throughout its life.
He didn't say take it to the dealer.
He suggested u can use the scanner or the cheaper hand scanner. Which if u do it urself. With the savings it be free...
No, you don't need to spend that kind of money for scanner, i purchased from eBay $ 15 scanner, it show all live data, i did used that $15 scanner and everything ok
Very good thanks
What s the noise from the Power Steering Fluid area in most of Nissan cars and SUVs ? . It sounds like hissing and screeching noise.
Je veux savoir aussi.
Thats not the way I do it at all. I get all 5 qt out.
Drop the pan, and clean. Replace the pan screen filter, also tranny cooler filter, not doing this is a terrible idea 😮 I use Valvoline oil, because nissan NS3 is not very good oil 😢
I am fixing to change the small oil filter cooler for the first time ever on this vehicle that has 160,000 miles but I’m afraid to drop the pan and change the 4 quarts because of how long it’s been without so I am thinking of just thinking of changing the oil cooler filter to clean some of the debris if any what do you think?
