You’re welcome my friend! I try to do what I can to help people. I actually just made a video on doing a cvt on a Nissan with both filters too, it’s just as bad lmao. Thank for watching tho! I appreciate it!
Fluid film is great for cars in areas that get snow and where they use salt. Just a friendly reminder folks, thats all. Do it yearly, or every other year, especially when the vehicle is new, and just keep doing it year after year. If the vehicle is used, and its just starting to rust slightly I would still use fluid film or something. Bar and chain, used oil, or a mix of both. Dont forget to get inside your rocker panels too if able. Often times you can pop the door sill covers and spray inside the holes where the door sill cover snaps go.
@@T-MillProductions I used fluid film black and laid it on heavy. Then took my car on a dirt road. Didn't wash my car for a week while the fluid film hardened up a bit. It left a nice layer of protection. Then every year after that I just keep building up the layers. I'll mix it with used oil, or bar and chain oil for some extra. Bar and chain was all I used back in the day, but that was 20 years ago. It should last forever really. Depends on lots of variables honestly. There's some great videos on TH-cam about it.
That’s a really good idea man, I’m gonna check into those. I definitely wanna do that to my cars because up here the humidity and the salt just ruin everything
Is it necessary to change that filter ? I get the fluid flushed yearly , my guy said it’s best to leave that filter in and keep on with the fluid flushes, I took the car at 90k and I’m at 189 now
Well that’s really more an option than anything, me personally I would do both of them every other fluid change. I have a Nissan rogue and I just did the 2 filters on that and the fluid and a new pan and the cartridge filter you could tell was original and had a fair amount of build up in it. I would recommend doing your filters but that’s just me
Is the only way to get the engine mount bracket off to lift the engine from the top using the Harbor Freight thing? Or is that just to hold the engine in place so the bracket can be removed? Wondering if the engine can be held or lifted slightly from underneath using a jack? Really want to do this myself, but while I have done many things on my cars, engine mounts are something I have never played with so I don't have any specialized tools. Thanks for the video. I really think engineers that build things like this that require a motor mount to be removed to get to a filter need to be kicked in the nuts.... hard.
It’s such a stupid design on these American cars. The ones in Australia and Europe don’t have this motor mount in the way. The engine leveler I am using is just to hold the engine in place while I remove the motor mount. It’s really not a hard job but just make sure you take your time and don’t rush thru it and make a mistake. I wire wheeled all the bolts when I got them out and antisiezed them all because they were pretty rusty. And I agree, the engineer who did this is an idiot!
@@T-MillProductions Thank you for the reply. Luckily this is a "desert car" (phoenix and Vegas) so there is no rust anywhere. Going to wait for cooler weather (110 degrees under a car isn't fun) but your video was wonderful. Thank you!
@davehigh6431 aw man you’re so lucky lol, all we have in WI is rust everywhere from all that salt and snow. Granted we don’t have that kind of heat either tho. Tomorrow is gonna be a high of 70 out and a low of 49 lol
Gday from Australia! We have a 2016 model but we call the a ASX over here, im just doing the 165,000km service on my wifes car now an see that its due for a CVT service next time round (180,000km) and though id research what id need before i attempt this in a few months! Why does the Australian model not have the engine mounts in the same place? That has me curious.... Thankyou for this awesome video it was incredibly helpful! P.s a fuel filter replacement video would be very helpful 😂 Cheers mate!
Good evening from the USA! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! I really enjoy talking to people from across the world, I wouldn’t be to worried about it, it’s pretty easy to do. I’m not sure why they changed the design, I just know before I did mine I researched it and all the service manuals were showing the non American cars didn’t have that stupid mount in the way. The plus side is yours should be super easy compared to mine lol. 😂 if I ever work on this car again I for sure will! I was gonna do a transmission on it but the owner couldn’t afford it so we’ll see if I ever get to it again lol. Have a wonderful day or night!
@@T-MillProductions thanks again mate! Keep up the good work. Your content is super easy to digest, haha I've found myself watching some of your videos on cars we can't even get here 🤣
You’re welcome my friend! I really appreciate that! I try to make content that people enjoy watching lol. Some day I wanna go to Australia and see all the wildlife that we don’t have up here. Your country looks beautiful!
How is that fram cvt fluid anyway? Anyone have any experience with it? This video is a perfect example of why you need to change your cvt fluid every 30k. Even once a year is fine. Most vehicles a drain and fill is super easy. I do a drain a fill once a year on my 19 civic coupe ex-t. I just hit 72,000 and did the cartridge filter again, and the pan filter for the first time. From my research over the years the cartridge filter should be changed more often than the pan filter. So far my car has been flawless and still feels like the day i drove it off the lot. Dont forget your other fluids too. Brake fluid, coolant, power steering if you still have a car that uses PS fluid. Then if youre awd dont forget your differential fluid. Plus changing out things like the pcv valve. Ive noticed pcv valves get talked about less and less these days for some reason.
This is the first time I’ve ever used it. It didn’t work either, this isn’t my car just to be clear lol, I maintain my cars. The owner of this thing only does oil changes and that’s it so it’s very neglected. My edge has over 251k miles on it and I change the tranny fluid every couple years. But I agree, all fluids are a necessity to change on a regular basis, and the pcv valve i haven’t changed because I haven’t had any issues with it or seen any maintenance Intervals, at least for my fords
I have a 2017 sport ES with 103 k miles idk if it’s ever been changed before but was thinking about doing it. Would you recommend? And what is the torque specs on that filter? Is that filter the same size as the 2017 outlander?
I would flush that transmission as soon as possible and hope to lasts. These transmissions need the fluid changed every 36000 to 55000 miles. I would definitely do filters too. The torque spec I’m not sure on. I just used a 1/4 inch ratchet and tighten them down. And I’m not entirely sure if the years are the same or not. But if you call a Mitsubishi dealer they can tell you
Hi, I used an engine leveler from harbor fright, it just uses 2 chains to hold the engine and transmission in place, I would not recommend jacking up on the oil pan at all even with a 2x4. The leveler was like 100 something dollars a few years ago. It works very well!
So to my understanding the pans are different for the FWD model vs the AWD model, I’m not actually sure what the part number is but if you call your local dealer then can tell you with your vin.
I have a 2017 outlander sport limited with the 2.0, it has 82000 miles, don't know if the trans fluids had ever been changed. It looks clean on the dipstick. Is it safe to change? And if so what about the filters? Would I do more harm than good at this point?
First off thank you for watching my video, and thank you for the great question. At 82k miles now is the perfect time to change the fluid and both filters. These transmissions absolutely have to have clean fluid to stay alive. I would highly recommend you do the filters and change the fluid and then in another 100 miles change just the fluid again to make sure all the fluid got out of there. And then do it every 30k miles after that with filters. I know people with over 200k on these transmissions with proper maintenance.
You’re welcome my friend, and yes you can as long as it is for a CVT transmission and says on the bottle it’s for Nissan CVT transmissions you’ll be good
@@T-MillProductions great!, and I'll bother you one last time on the outlander in the vid the actual cartridge filter is it in that same spot on the US version, I remember you said they were different but was unsure on which version you were talking about there, I have all the things to do it with but if it's easier to get to on mine that's even better lol
It’s all good man, and yea the us version has that stupid engine mount in the way but the non us versions don’t, it’s just wide open. The filter is the same and the bolts are the same. It’s just easier to get to on the non us version lol
Yes it can, I did the transmission flush in my garage and now I’ll be doing a transmission replacement in this car pretty soon. I’ll be making a video on it as well step by step. So make sure to stay tuned for that!
Hey bud, i went and looked under mine to see what i was working with is there any way i can text you or email you? Nobody else seems to be able to help
Hey man, thank you. My girl has a 2017 and I couldn’t find any insight on that upper filter anywhere. I appreciate you taking the time!

I used a gasket, for some reason it’s sold seperate from the filters.

You’re welcome!
Would you recommend the fram oil fluid
I can’t really say yes or no to that, I just got this because no one else had anything else
how many litters of cvt fluid u use?
I used 5 quarts
