Fluids and Lubricants Motor oil, transmission oil, radiator fluid, power steering fluid, blinker fluid Technical discussion and analysis of the different lubricants we use in our cars.

Is this true? My feeling is if you are asking that kind of question on a forum than you should have it done by the Nissan dealer so you will get the proper fluids and done correctly. The vehicle is now 8 years old and if it is working fine I would not mess with myself. Really on a CVT it needs to be changed by the dealer or at least a good shop and every 30K. Considering about half of that was for the fluids, its really not that bad. Thats the way I used to do it on my old Acura with no dipstick, but some like my Pontiac have to be in the air and filled with a pump.

CVT Fluid. Thread Tools. CVT Fluid level. Hi all, I changed my CVT fluid on my Maxima yesterday and I usually do a drain and fill and filter change and add almost 5 quarts, This time around I'm having a hard time to get an accurate reading. I put almost 5 quarts in and it's still showing I could use a little more to bring the level up to the end of the crosshatch. Do any of you guys think it's safe to put the remaining of what's left of the quart? I have drove for about 45 mins and left the car running and it's also 90 degrees out and I'm still getting a low reading, Funny thing is yesterday I had a normal reading on the dip stick. If I put the rest of the remaining quart that would be a total of 5 quarts and I'm wondering if this is safe to do? Thank you. Last edited by MaximusN8; at PM. View Public Profile.

In short: The key is to choose the right quantity, quality, and type of lubricant you will use. There are manual transmission fluids and automatic transmission fluids. This information is usually found in the owner's manual. If there is an emergency and you do not know which transmission fluid you should use, you can use a SAE 75W fluid, and your transmission will be safe until you can buy the right one. Nowadays, there are almost no fluids with only one type of viscosity. Those fluids are called monograde oils. You will usually find multigrade oils.
