Best technical service video I've ever seen on this, and I used to manage a chain of Quick Lube service centers.
Thank you very much 🙏
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! We absolutely love our 2013 Quest!!! 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!!!
YES! You are correct! Very reliable mini van and it's one of the best designs of all mini vans (in my opinion) and very comfortable as well with a very powerful 3.5L V6 and smooth CVT transmission. Sadly, they discontinued making the Quest after 2018.
Test drive it before you buy. Check the transmission make sure the transmission is still good. Test the transmission makev sure it shifted smoothly.
Just picked one of these up. A 2012. Thank you for this video. It helps a lot for all kinds of people.
You are very welcome 🤗
How is the Transmision working out for you Any problems with this van?
@@aaronweiser5421 I’m at 190k no issues yet. At this mileage I had a squeaky idler pulley. Pretty easy and cheap fix. My projectors (the literal projector, not the clear housings ) had pitted and had to be replaced. I had HID so it wasn’t cheap but the headlights are awesome now. One door won’t open about 10% of the time with power but my kids toy got jammed it in really hard so it may have messed the door up and maybe it’s not Nissans fault. That’s all so far. Things I’m going to do come spring : some suspension work.
Great!
Not at all. The transmission is great!
Thank you very much, you have help me out a lot.👍
You're very welcome and thank you for viewing my videos. 😊
Great job! Thank you

great video, thank you Mr. Bee
You're welcome 🤗
@@MrBeeHS your wife is very pretty right.
Yep 😃
THANK you for good job 👍
Thank you very much ☺️
Great. Thank you
You are very welcome 🙏
Thank you for your video; the second bolt to the side from the oil plug, shown at first of your video, on the left side of screen, it points down at an angle and is on the transmission -
is said to be the overfill limit bolt, used to check the level, remove and replace when it is at a trickle; do you agree with this? Thank you
Yes you are correct and I do agree with you. The bolt that you saw in my video that was pointing at an angle is the overfill limit bolt. 👍 If you decide to go that route using the overfill limit bolt, you need to warm up the van to normal operating temperature at idle(if you don't have a scanner). If you do then the temperature needs to be around 100-110° F. Then remove the bolt and it needs to be a thin stream of oil draining then it's good. If you see a lot coming out, then it's too much oil and just let it drain to a thin stream. That might be too complicated for most DIYers out there. So I didn't cover the overfill limit bolt.
Thank you!
You are very welcome 🤗
Thank you
You're very welcome ☺️ and thank you for watching my videos. I really do appreciate it very much.
Quick question. How do you know how much fluid to put it there?I have a 2016 nissan quest and is similar as the one you have. No dipstick as well
What I do is to measure how much I drained out of the transmission, which is approximately 5 qts. You can do the same too, if there is no leakage around your transmission and you can go from there.
Please can you help me by the recomended cvt oil brands for nissan quest 2011
Sure I will help you.
1. Triax CVT ATF
2. Valvoline full synthetic CVT
3. Idemitsu CVT Type N
4. Castrol Transmax ATF/CVT Universal
5. Nissan OEM CVT fluid (will be expensive)
These are the CVT transmission fluid that I would recommend. You can either purchase them online or at the auto part store. I hope this helps.
Hello sir, please how long does your transmission take to return to normal after changing CVT transmission fluid on a 2015 Nissan quest. Mine was leaking and it still didn’t give me a problem but after I changed the seal and transmission fluid my car doesn’t transmit as it use to be before. My mechanic says I should drive it a while, how true is that?.
What type of transmission fluid did you use? Did you use the correct transmission fluid? It usually will be normal after the transmission fluid replacement. Please let me know, thank you.
After watching your video, I can guide you to DIY replace the CVT transmission oil, filter and oil seal. Excuse me, when fixing the bottom case of the transmission, there is a "blue" liquid on the last screw, can you tell me the name? Thanks. i have a 2016 Nissan Quest SV
It's called Loctite. It comes in a little tube and it's a liquid. You put a little drop onto the thread of the bolts. It helps prevent the bolts from getting loose. Once it is dry, it's like a silicone to hold the bolts in, kind of like glue.
@@MrBeeHS Thank you very much, unknown what liquid it is.
You're welcome ☺️
I have a 2008 Nissan Quest would it be the same procedure??
It would be similar except the transmission fluid because 2008 Nissan Quest model uses either 4 or 5 speed automatic transmission. On the other hand, 2011-2018 uses CVT automatic transmission.
thanks for uploading the video. Is there a way to check the level
You are very welcome 😊
There is a way that you can check the level, but it's just going to be only for a reference point for you because Nissan didn't make a dipstick for the Quest. I did try to look for it, but no luck on that.
What I did was buy the long dipstick that was used for checking Mercedes-Benz transmission fluid, which you can purchase on eBay for about $10-$20 and I use that to check the level on it.
I did have the dipstick before hand for my Mercedes before changing the fluid on the Quest and that's how I determine the level before and after changing the fluid and also measure all of the transmission fluid that came out of it and that was about 5 quart total.
I hope this helps and if you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me. I am here to help and thank you for subscribing to my channel and watch my videos. I am glad that my videos are helping people fixing their own vehicles. 😊
My 2011 Caravan was like this. No dipstick. I found a technical spec that showed how you can take a dipstick and engrave markings on it. It showed all the heights (cold and hot) and so I just etched the backside of my engine oil dipstick and check it that way. (Of course after wiping the oil off first. )
Don't you need to factor in the temperature of the fluid when performing this service? How do you know its 5 quarts?
You can if you have the tools that they use at the dealerships to measure the temperature. But for DIY mechanics or mechanics that don't work at the dealership and don't have the expensive tools, you can definitely perform other ways that the results will be the same to get the job done like the dealerships or even better.
How do I know that it's 5 quarts? It's the original fluid that came out from the transmission. The transmission is a seal CVT transmission and the whole system will take about 10 quarts to flush the system. That the torque converter will hold approx 5 quarts and the rest is the other 5 quarts in the pan.( I did measure the fluid that came out of it)
But it's not necessary to flush the transmission unless you have a very dirty transmission. Drain, replace filter and fill is good enough that your transmission will last a lifetime. Just need to make sure to replace the fluid and filter every 30,000 miles because CVT transmissions are very sensitive to the maintenance time.
great video thanks, where did you order the PAN GASKET and the FILTER? Thanks!
I ordered it from Amazon. Make sure you order the right one because there are two different bolt patterns.
@@MrBeeHS Mine appears to be the same as yours. I have a 2012 Quest and they changed the engine at some point and that is part of the confusion. I DO have the same as yours. Looking on AMAZON now to see if I can match it and the filter. Thank you.

👍
Any way to check fluid level first?
Yes there is a way to check the fluid level by using a long dipstick. This long dipstick is for Mercedes. You can purchase it from eBay for cheap and use it to check the level of your transmission fluid.
Does the Quest have that second paper filter too? I haven’t jacked mine up yet to do this job as I want to do all the jobs at once and I’m waiting on a couple more parts. Another video showed a cvt service for a Nissan without a dipstick and said you need to check the level through an overflow bolt at a very specific temperature and of course level (not just jacked up in the front as an example. ) but in that video he didn’t drop the pan. If you google cvt service looking for parts sometimes you see this second filter.
Yes they do have a small cartridge filter hiding inside the transmission. It's located on the side of the transmission (my next video).
Yes there is an overflow bolt to check the level at a certain temperature (around 100°F-113°F). The bolt is located at the bottom of the transmission close to the transmission oil pan. Loosen the overflow bolt when it gets to the temperature.
Sounds good! @@MrBeeHS
@@MrBeeHS This part? 31726-1XE0A. That looks like maybe the filter is inside that? I'm having trouble getting a part number for just the cartridge. Actually I'm looking at the metal screen filter I got from RockAuto and it looks way different than yours! Mysterious. I won't know until I drop the pan.
The difference is the pan. When you buy the mesh filter for your van, you need to go by the total bolts for your transmission pan. Because there are two different pans for the Nissan Quest. If your Nissan Quest has a long pan like mine, then your mesh filter will be bigger. If the pan is square then your mesh filter will be a small one. Just watch out for that so you won't have too much down time waiting for the right part.
Thank you. I'm just keeping this response on here to help others. when I look up the OEM parts via VIN numbers, it shows the parts I have for my 2012. When I put in your year, it shows the filter you have. You are right, one is called "shallow pan" and the other must just be regular. I THINK I have the right ones (gasket and filters) @@MrBeeHS
Thank you for this!!! Do you use all 5 quarts? thanks again!
Yes I use all 5 quarts. I hope this video helped you to service your transmission. Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it. 👍
@@MrBeeHS Thank you!!!
You're very welcome ☺️👍
how many liters of oil in a shade karopka
5 qts....4.73 liters
I got 2015 it happened before I changed my cvt fluid sir
Oh, so sorry
My wife's 2012 quest with 80k miles has a transmission that is acting terrible at 40mph. We've done a fluid service to it and it went away for a couple of months. Now it's bad again. And if you have the AC on, there's almost no power at 40mph. Revs itself to 2k, goes up to 5k trying to get out of gear at 40mpg. Any ideas?
When is the last time you do a tune-up on your van? Seems like the first symptom is your motor and the second one is your transmission if it's trying to get out of gears.
@@MrBeeHS did a tune up last year. All new sparks. Transmission pan drop and fill service.
So that means.....your CVT transmission was the root cause.
@@MrBeeHS I'm assuming I don't have many options. Sell the car or replace the transmission with another Nissan CVT.
I feel you, my friend. First, check the cost for transmission replacement if it's worth it or not. If it comes out more money than getting a new van....then you'll be better off buying a new van.
Hello! this is a jatko jf017e, what mileage do you have such a car?
I have 110,000 miles on it now.
@@MrBeeHS CVT jf017e?
@@alexshik8565 I believed so.
the driver side rear view mirror broke on my 2015 quest. Do we need to remove finisher panel and door mounting panel to access it. Instructions say Remove front door module assembly mounting bolts, pull out the front door module assembly to make space in order to disengage the harness connector. Remove front door speaker and then, from the hole of front door
speaker disconnect the harness connectors.Peel off front door weather-strip and then remove door mirror mounting nut
Yes, you need to remove the door panel and disconnect the window switch, but you don't need to remove the speaker though.
@@MrBeeHS Thanks. Need to tackle this at some point. Mirror is working but the plastic housing is broken.
You are very welcome 😊
Have read evry 25 km they change in japan i have this same minivan but on japan call nissan elgrand e52 model 3.5 cvt i bought it used and when i see the owner manual it tel evry 25000km wich is 15500 miles
Yes because they have different maintenance standards in Japan, other countries have their own standards as well.
In the United States, we have our standards and the owner's manual here indicates at 30,000 miles for a transmission service.
@@MrBeeHS oh okey got it.
The Japan specs standard are very strict then! But I see that the jdm spec of this elrgand minivan with the 3.5cvt make 280 HP meanwhile in us the quest make less . But so far holding up good I bought it with 170000km now is around 190000 the same dashboard with quest but outside is different style
Yes! JDM ALWAYS has higher horsepower than the US version due to the nonsense regulations....lol
They are one of the best minivan ever made....in my opinion. I almost got a Honda Odyssey minivan before deciding to buy the Quest. Quest has more head rooms, more horsepower than the Odyssey, and it uses the same motor in what I used to have....2003 FairladyZ. 👍
@@MrBeeHS👍👍 enjoy your quest I will also enjoy the jdm spec I use mine for taxi in my country even with 7 people on board the 280hp vq35de shine when I put the pedal to the metal 2011 nissan elgrand rider autech they have 2 option 2.5 4cyl and 3.5 v6 7 or 8 seat option
@@GODiscomingsoonagain you do the same as well and stay safe. 👍👍
Was that a high mileage car ? Seem to be a lot of metal in the pan ..
It's about 100,000 miles.
How many quarts is it 5??
It holds 5 quarts
Hi, is 2 filter i think
Yes! You are correct, there are 2 filters. One small filter inside the cooler housing and the main one inside the transmission pan. I wouldn't be concerned about replacing the small filter though because it's very hard to get to. You want to focus on replacing the main one inside the transmission pan.
Good morning got nissan quest sv my van stop running when it get heat what if can be problem Thanks for your response please
You mean when it heats up and the motor stops running?
@MrBee Handyman Specialist yes sir it start get shake and my van not moving but engine still running I have to stop and then start so it can move again
@@khomsakjiaradhanakool5026 sounds like something is wrong with your transmission. When is your last transmission service since you own the van?
@MrBee Handyman Specialist my van got 80000miles never done transmission service I just did myself last 2 weeks ago sir
What kind of fluid did you use in your transmission? Was it driving ok before you did the service right?
If the symptom was happening before the fluid change, then it's your transmission. The CVT transmissions are very sensitive when it comes to servicing. Usually it needs to be serviced every 30,000 and 60,000 miles is pushing it and you did it at 80,000. So that might be the cause for it. It's slipping and won't go into drive.
CVT transmission uses a belt inside to engage to drive.
Is this 2015 nissan quest sl
It's SV model, but SV and SL are similar. SL just has more options.
@@MrBeeHS thanks
You are very welcome
How can I buy Filter and rober casket?
@@zadamir3357 you can buy from your local auto part stores or on eBay or Amazon.
Jesus that was overdue.
😂
Edited
Just took a look at unneath the car and on the driver side I see an metal pan which looks like it is aluminuum and has thick metal fins on it, would that be my CVT pan. The shape is also not rectangular like the one in your video. Do you happen to aware that it changed between 2014 & 2015?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello @MrBee Handyman Specialist - Thank you for the video, this is somthing that I can definitely handle.
A couple questions
- The service manual on page MA-10 says it needs CVT fluid 9 qt (US measure) - Genuine NISSAN CVT fluid NS-2. How did you determine that it needed 5 quarts, just by calcalating how much came out during flush?
- I read that CVTs are pretty sensitive to the type of fluid but I saw you use NS-3 alternative instead of recomended NS-2? Are NS-2 and NS-3 interchangeable
- This link (www.amazon.com/dp/B08T1RVCBF?ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_WXMYP6CXNZ9YPS74ZBJA) shows the filter and gasket but amazon says it is not compatible with Nissan Quest 2014. I also checked the ebay link (www.ebay.com/itm/203878760230?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=8aiaAFkeQOK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=39q-52hiSV-&var&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) and it also show in-compitable with 2014 Quest SL. If you can share your actual link from where you bought, it would be great!
Thanks in advance!
Thanks to this video, now I have subcribsed and will keep an eye for more Quest Videos.
Hello, first of all I really do appreciate that you have subscribed to my CZcams channel and I hope you can learn from my channel.
I believe that your 2014 Quest has a different CVT transmission from my 2015 Quest. Your transmission pan is not the same as mine. I would recommend you to buy it from an auto parts store like AutoZone, O'Reilly's, Car Quest, etc. They should have your filter for sure because they don't have my filter at all. They kept selling me the one you have, which kind of square, am I correct?
Yes you are correct that Nissan quest calls for NS-2 CVT transmission fluid and I did use NS-3 fluid instead. NS-3 fluids are backwards compatible.☺️ Except one condition.... if a transmission calls for NS-3, it's not recommended to use NS-2. If a transmission calls for NS-2, you can use NS-3. ☺️ You are also correct that CVT transmission are very sensitive of certain type of fluids.👍 But just don't mix it up with ATF because ATF is not for CVT transmission.
The manual calls for 9 qts of CVT fluid, because they are added from the torque converter (approx 4 qts inside torque converter). That's only if you do a complete flushing of the whole system.
There is no need to flush the whole system because you need a special machine to do that... which is at the dealership (which they will charge you a lot for that service). Replacing the fluid that came out from the pan is adequate to prolong the life of your transmission. After 2 changes, you'll totally flush out your transmission.☺️ Don't forget that service your transmission fluid every 30,000 miles.👍
