CVT Fluid: Adjustment
| CVT fluid | : Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATION . |
| Fluid capacity | : Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATION . |
CAUTION:
- Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the (NISSAN new vehicle limited) warranty.
- During adjustment of the CVT fluid level, check CONSULT so that the oil temperature may be maintained from 35 to 45°C (95 to 113°F).
- Use caution when looking into the drain hole as there is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye.
- Check that the selector lever is in the "P" position, then completely engage the parking brake.
- Start the engine.
- Adjust the CVT fluid temperature to be approximately 40°C (104°F).NOTE:
The CVT fluid is largely affected by temperature. Therefore be sure to use CONSULT and check the "FLUID TEMP" under "TRANSMISSION" in "Data Monitor" while adjusting.
- While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to the entire position from "P" to "L", and shift it to the "P" position.NOTE:
Hold the lever at each position for 5 seconds.
- Lift up the vehicle.
- Check that there is no CVT fluid leakage.
- Remove the drain plug. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the drain plug hole.

Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
- Install the ATF changer hose (B) to the charging pipe.CAUTION:
Press the ATF changer hose all the way onto the charging pipe until it stops.
- Fill approximately 0.5 liter (1/2 lmp qt) of the CVT fluid.
- Remove the ATF changer hose from the charging pipe, and check that the CVT fluid drains out from the charging pipe. If it does not drain out, perform charging again.CAUTION:
Perform this work with the vehicle idling.
- When the flow of CVT fluid slows to a drip, remove the charging pipe from the oil pan.
- Tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .CAUTION:
Never reuse drain plug gasket.
- Lift down the vehicle.
- Stop the engine.
