- Replacing the CVT fluid on my 2011 nissan Rogue. Step by step procedure on replacing the cvt fluid.
These nissans have a bad reputation for catastrophic CVT transmission failure, make sure you are changing your CVT fluid every 50,000 or so.
I own a 2012 Rogue, & had heard about the CVT failures. I’ve never changed my fluid (86000 miles), but I definitely will now! Very clear, concise instructions. Thanks !

how's it running?
This guy has an engineering mind, this is the type of guy you want to live next too. Great video.
You have helped me and I am sure so many other people who know nothing about maintaining their cars. Thank YOU!
Best video I’ve seen on changing CVT fluid, and I’ve seen a lot.
Good advice! I would also let people know, because I went through this, to add a transmission cooler to the system. Makes all the difference in the world and is not expensive too do.
Thanks for the video.
That is a solid decision.
Those words "catastrophic failure" really do give me the chills. I'm off to give my 2013 Rogue with 153,000 miles it's second CVT fluid change right now. This video prepared me last time and helped me again today. I'm expecting 200,000 or more from old Bessie.
Simple as an oil change sans filter. Thanks for taking the mystery out of it with this clean, concise video.
I have a 2016 Altima with almost 42,000 miles. I decided to change my CVT fluid at around 36,000 miles after reading many horror stories about these transmissions. I saw in the service manual that the fluid seems to be very sensitive to temperature, so I did the drain and fill on a morning here in Florida when the temp was around 60. Just under 4 quarts came out, so just added the exact same amount. My car does not have a dipstick, just the cap on top of the tube. I plan on doing a 4 quart drain and fill every year to keep the fluid fresh. Just bought some on Amazon and I think it was around $17 a quart for the Nissan NS-3 fluid. After the warranty expires, I may decide to use a different fluid. Hope to see more videos from you.
Watch Symbiote215 video on your CVT oil change. There is an overflow drain bolt you need to remove while engine is running to drain fluid back to proper level.
Best video that I ever seen about cvt oil change, well done
Thanks very much for the compliment, i am trying to get better at doing diy and tutorial content on all my channels
Honest and to the point, good content, no frills, nice close ups. Thanks for the video, well done!
Thanks very much for the positive comments,
Excellent presentation, you couldn’t be any simpler in explaining it. Thank you 👍🏼
Great video! Will be changing the CVT fluid on my 2011 Rogue this weekend and this video came right on time!
I’m glad it helped
I’m lucky to watch this video now I know my car needs CVT NS 3 . Now my car is 51 thousands miles if i go local workshop 100% they gonna put regular transmission oil. Thanks for information.
When changing the fluid..you got two filters to change..take trans pan off filter there & a filter goes in the transmission cooler...then replace pan & transmission cooler then refill..👍
Great video, and detailed explanation! My only critique is that you should never use a torque wrench to loosen anything! You will ruin your torque wrench, or at the very least, throw the calibration off. Instead, invest in a breaker bar for loosening hard to turn fasteners, or in this case, drain plugs.
jimmyguy428 great tip, I never knew that, I had a breaker bar but I was too lazy to get it, thx dude
@@leapnlarry You're welcome! I just wanted to share that bit of info.
The bolt is loose enough here to take off with a regular wrench, but you’re right
Perfect, you are helping people with CVT's and the funny thing if you call the Nissan they said CVT fluid is lifetime!
interesting
It is. When the fluid fails so does the trans. So technically the fluid lasts the life of the cvt😂
Your choice.
Solid "how to" video. I think all of the Nissans made between 2008 - 2014 have had their CVT transmission changed/fail by now, Nissan should have recalled all of them. We have already put over 138,000 miles on the new/replacement transmission so I think Nissan fixed the problem. However, I've noticed all CVT transmissions require fluid changes more often than traditional geared transmissions, every 40,000 to 50,000 miles vs 80,000 to 120,000 miles.
So what’s the best fluid to use?
@@shellybelle6781 What has worked for me is Valvoline Full Synthetic CVT ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid - in the blue bottle). It is both NS-2 and NS-3 rated covering all Nissan CVT transmissions. Also, being replaced every 40,000 it is also one of the cheapest options. With this being said any CVT transmission fluid that is NS-2 or NS-3 depending on your CVT transmission should work fine.
Also, our Rogue has over 160,000 on the replaced transmission and going great. 258,000+ total miles on the car.
@@claytonrodgers1609 mine smells and is black. We changed maybe two years ago.
@@claytonrodgers1609 it keeps getting hot and I’m thinking of putting the cooling thing in it so it won’t burn.
@@claytonrodgers1609 how many should I use to fill if draining and filling ?
There's actually a process to measure the CVTF level, where you have to warm up the CVTF a little bit, park in a flat surface, push the ebrake, go to 1st Gear, take the dipstick out, clean it, put it back in and then take the selector to either N or P, then grab the CVTF level, which has to be between the 2 dipstick notches. That's how it's instructed on the FSM.
This should be a pinned comment. Thanks Mate
I've just purchased a 2012 Nissan rogue 2wd. 43,000 thousand miles. I will take your advice and change it at 50,000. The vehicle was driven by a elderly woman. Vehicle is cherry and I want to try and avoid any unwanted issues. Great advise. Maintenance book says every 80,000. I will ignore that suggestion. I will also use oem Nissan fluid.
Excellent video. Informative and to the point. I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks!
Thanks very much, you comment is encouraging, I found it very difficult being on camera
You forgot to mention the copper crush gsaket that goes under the plug. Good video, thanks
It's sometimes a rubber gasket/washer not copper
awesome video! when I saw you bought the book I thought this guy knows what he's doing keep it up!
Well done, great info. (Just got back from a dealer today who wanted to charge over $100 to check the level of the trans fluid because, they said, the car "doesn't have a dip stick and requires a special procedure." I now know better, thanks to you.)
Best video with excellent
explanation. I really liked the step by step details of how to change the CVT fluid
Love the video I have a 15’ Rogue and agree that the CVT has a bad rep I change my fluid every 30 k miles
I tried to get Nissan to cover the transmission replacement, after extensive discussion they refused. Cost me $3000 to replace the transmission, but I got another 100,000 miles out of it so far for a total of 250,000 which is good for a rogue. Too bad about your moms car, no more Nissan’s here either. Larry
How many miles did you have on your car before you Bought a transmission?
Great video, well done, thanks for your efforts, it is very helpful! Especially since Jiffy Lube said it is a sealed transmission and therefore could not check the fluid level, it seems they are incorrect after watching this video.
I would not take a thing like this to them. They might accidentally put regular ATF in and destroy it. Really, I never take a vehicle to Iffy Lube.
Jiffy Lube is the best way to destroy a car. I took my company van there once and they overfilled my engine oil. I could hardly drive off the lot. Had them drain the oil and put the manual amount in and everything was back to normal.
@@charleshines6155 I read an article about a lawsuit against iffy lube for using atf fluid instead of cvt fluid in a rogue. Lady drove it for 10-15k miles before breaking down.
@@JustinRiveraShow It surprises me it was not a lot sooner. Using the wrong fluid can quickly ruin a transmission.
@@charleshines6155 what non-Nissan brand cvt fluid do you use?
Thanks for the video. I plan on disconnecting the oil cooler line after the initial refill to get the other 4 quarts out of the system that way I am not mixing old fluid with new. Only because my Rouge has 98K and never been done.
Jackson Cruz I would love to know how much more fluid you can get out doing that
@@TheRegularGuyDIY I was able to get out another 5 quarts of fluid. So thats a total of 9 quarts. I got out. 4 from the pan, then 5 from the cooler. Still was a little dark coming from the cooler but I ran out of new fluid. So next time I will purchase 11 quarts to do this complete service. A drain and fill doesn't even touch half the fluid in this vehicle.
where is that located?
@Jackson. Wow. And that fluid is pricey! $20 a quart here in Atlanta
@@alexthephotoguy I used the Aisin Brand NS-2 fluid. They are the manufacturers of the fluid anyway for Nissan. It's available for about $7 a quart on RockAuto.
This was a realy great idea A Nissan CTV transmission don't have a transmission problem. They have an CTV fluid problem The oil is a high viscosity fluid But drue to carbon build up it will lose it viscosity and fail. What hapends is when the CTV fluid gets to hot above 90c. A tiny amount of the CVT fluid that in contact with the cones and the belt will then begins to burn turning that tiny amount of CVT fluid it to carbon after a while the carbon will build up. in the CVT fluid And it will lost it viscosity the CVT transmission will then fall. But if you Change the ctv oil regularly the CTV transmission will last a long time And should out last the car
You got my vote, thanks. Never said that before!
Excellent tutorial, very detailed thank you very much. Now i can do it myself, dealer was asking 350 bucks . 👍👍👍👍
your video is just great. Short to the point, informative and specific. For the sake of just giving you some feedback since you are looking forward to it..... here is an idea: why not take this video and add Cvt pan disassembly to clean inside of the pan and the magnets?? Thanks a lot for a great video
Diego Martinez that is a great idea, I was trying to keep it simple, so anyone could do it, taking the pan off is messy when just working on ramps, thx for the input,
You did good on your video. It is sad that Nissan has a history of horror stories when it comes to their CVT. One of the worst is that on 2007 and Maxima's; many of the CVT vibrated the entire car between 20 and 30 MPH. And get this, Nissan says there is NO solution for this problem. And if your car does have it, it won't do it. Sad, sad, SAD for those who get one of those beasts.
Note: You CAN stop the vibration IF you gun the engine through those RPM's. But who wants to do that.
Perfect perfect instructions I have a a 2011 sport utility rogue I just got 3 months ago and as of yesterday I now know this is something that also needs to be done. I want try to do it myself so bad but afraid I might cause another problem.
You can use Pennzoil CVT2 fluid, it's the same as Nissan's NS2. I have a MSDS / SDS for Nissan NS2 and it shows that the maker of the Nissan fluid is SOPUS, which is Standard Oil Products US. The Pennzoil CVT2 is the exact same colour and your Nissan NS2 at a much better price. NOTE CORRECTION: SOPUS is Shell Oil Products !! not Standard Oil, my mistake, my bad.
@@paulfeasal6024 Without data, you're just another person with an opinion. I mistakenly stated that SOPUS is Standard Oil Products, it is actually Shell Oil Products, my bad. However to blindly state that Pennzoil is a bad product flies in the face of many Petroleum Engineers, Tribologists, and members of Bob Is The Oil Guy, BITOG for which I have been a member for years.
I bought the Car Quest brand CVT fluid at Advanced Auto. Looks, feels and smells just like the Idemitsu fluid I sampled at another retailer.
Thanks for the information. I really needed this!
Good video. Thanks for taking the time to put out content without a lot of extra banter. Very helpful.
Thank you, you are a master.
I appreciate the time you took to share it.
You made me feel like I can put my coverall on and do it myself. I LOVE this video. Thanks alot
That was an excellent presentation I have an '09 Nissan rogue and I had a hard time trying to locate mine until I watched your video and then I found what I was doing wrong now I have it right The car is driving very quietly now thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you I think I can tackle this .. I'm having trouble finding what is actually wrong .. so do what I am able first
Nice and clean and straight to the point. Great tutorial!
thanks for your video. saved me hundreds if I took it to the stealership
Ty, I'll be keeping up with it.😊
Excellent how-to. Thank you for all the hard work.
Great video work. Good presentation. Step by step instruction. You would make a good teacher. Don't forget a new crush washer so it dosen't leak doorman has this washer. I believe it is a m12 copper crush washer. I think you can get it at O'Reilly auto parts.
Thanks for the kind comment and the tip on the crush washer, I should always get a fresh washer but usually too lazy to get one. Larry
Thank you so much for the info. I just bought my first car and slowly learning about my vehicle. I can do this myself thank you.
This very simple and concise vedio
Great work
Nice and very easy to follow you made a good video , by the way did you replace the Copper washer on the transmission drain plug before putting the plug back on the transmission ?
I Will look at IT again just to make sure that I am not wrong . Thanks a lot for your Sharing .
Thanks for sharing this my good friend
Thank you very much, excellent presentation, detail orientation best video I have seen on CVT flush out. Now I can do it. 👍👍
Do your research!! This is only 1/2 of a CVT fluid change. You are only mixing some new fluid with old fluid. There is another 5 quarts (9 1/2 quarts total for complete fluid change) in the torque converter and valve body. There is also a paper/synthetic cartridge filter that needs changed behind the oil cooler (removal of oil cooler needed).
I say in the video that this is a partial fluid replacement, and do it again in 30-50 k miles. This way fluid get plreplced without a flush. Larry
Good video sir most videos don't explain as much as you do..keep up the good showing of videos..
Thank you for this video. Any other mechanic tips on 2011 Nissan Rogue that can help or avoid major problems.
You are the man! Really help out with the heads up on changing trans oil after 50k. Only thing can you put ur finger on exactly where it should be on the dip stick check? Thanks a million!
$100 for 4 quarts is highway robbery. I was able to get a dozen qts for $80 on EBay back in the day and still have that stash. I plan to get aftermarket cvt fluid when I run out because they now exceed Nissan’s own specifications at $5 a quart.
Great video.. concise and explicit
Nope sold it it 2020, at 250k miles still running good.
Dude, you are awesome! I’m gonna tackle this tomorrow but I’m gonna take the whole pan off to change the transmission filter as well. Great video! I’m subscribing dude!! 👍
my moms 2015 rouge trans has died after 40,000 two months out of warranty and no recall i wouldn't by another Nissan and no one else should ether she has had nothing but trouble and even with warranty somehow anything that broke wasn't covered under warranty
Thanks for the video, pretty straightforward. Did mine today
Good video, why is it do many techs stress the importance of knowing the ATF Temp Count with an scan tool?
great video...this saves me from spending a fortune at the dealer
Now there is NS3 fluid which is light blue color new. I don't know when they started using that but my 2017 Rogue has a sticker warning me to use only NS3 fluid or bad things might happen.
gREAT VIDEO EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND GREAT KNOWLEDGEABLE ADVICE,
Is this why many CVT transmissions fail? Because ppl don't change the fluid?
The video was fantabulous!
Good, great vid, but keep the car level when draining and filling. Have a spare drain plug seal too. Sir, Thk-u very much!!
Very good, thanks!
Excellent, presentation now I can do it myself. Thanks for the tutorial 👍👍.
Excellent video!! Thanks. I have a question. Do we have to change the transmission filter as well, every time that we drain and fill transmission fluid?
Changing the filter requires taking off the transmission pan, which is probably the optimal service but not something I wanted to do, exchanging the fluid should extend the life of the cvt
How often do you recommend to change CVT fluid filter in addition to CVT fluid itself?
With a 2012 Nissan Rogue when changing the CVT Transmission fluid does it matter what Brand to Use ? Couldn't I use Amsoil CVT Transmission Fluid ? Or does it have to be NS-2 CVT fluid ???
Aftermarket is cheaper and better. Do your DD. Don’t buy that overpriced ns-2.
excellent presentation with the right contents, Thanks!
Great detailed vid- will you also do other maintenance for the vehicle like coolant flush?
Do you check the (warm) range while it is running (engine on) or do you warm up then shut it off and check it? Ive heard both ways
Great video! Very clear and helpful
I also have water collecting on the driver side floor nearest the door. Please help.
I have this 2011 Rogue...and had an issue with no acceleration on Sat.after a Navy game. Glided home essentially. Had it towed. Today they informed me I had no transmission fluid but yet no indication at off of leaks! How can Trans Fluid just disappear? If anyone know of has ideas. The only answer I can think of is someone emptied it and didn't refill it at some point. A week ago I had it in for a brake job (not that that should have anything to do with it). Great video
My car is doing the same, what happened to your car? I’m trying to not get scammed, they told me I needed a new transmission.
Should we warm up the car first before changing the oil? Or better to keep it cold to make sure all oil are collected down ?
Great Video. Informative and concise. Love it.
I thought the vehicle was supposed to be level when draining and checking. Nice video, well planned out.
Was the car running when you checked the fluid?
Yes!
Hello I went to the dealer to change my cvt fluid and then I check the level and was higher than the mark and the color of the oil wasn't green it came out clear brownish. They did something wrong? I feel nervous about it
Don’t know if it’s too late but...I had the same experience. If you check the level with the engine off it will look like it’s overfilled. You need to check it with the engine running. It’s also supposed to be checked at a certain temperature.
is your rogue AWD or FWD?
Did you warm up engine/transmission before draining oil?
Do u check transmission fluid dipstick with engine off or on
Thank you for this video, very helpful indeed
You don’t need to jack that car up to drain the oil. I’m not small and I can’t easily under the front to get the plug out. Just FYI if anyone at home wants to DIY. Also I thought your supposed to check the level when it’s running.
Isn't the car supposed to be running and in park when you check your fluid level?
Hi, thanks for the video but I have it. a nissa rogue 2011 SV which oil cvt would you recommend the car has the 95000 mile can you help me please
roberto Hernández it should be the same fluid I used in the video, mine is also a 2011. You can save some Money by getting the generic fluid at an auto parts store but I recommend getting fluid from the parts Dept at your local Nissan dealer.
Thank you for sharing!
Can you meka a video to see how to replacement the valve gasket on the nissan rogue tankyou
You should take the pan off and change the filter too the filter can get. Clogged up and damaged the transmission
Thanks for making this video.i have one question the oil level you show hot point should not above but morning time before start the car level will be too high from the hot mark.Is that ok.If i keeps oil level up to hot mark not above that in cold engine but when i drive couple hours the level goes down from the upper hot mark.Is this not good for transmission and i should put more oil don’t care where the oil level go morning time.pls answer me if you understand my question.
Does a 2.0 2018 Rogue Sport have the same CVT as the regular 2.5 liter Rogue?
Thanks for your help, I did it,👍👍.
Thank you very much for your help.
I have 2010 Nissan rouge fwd, I would like to know if only drain and filled out? No take the pan off and change the filter or doesn’t have it? Thank
My 2013 rogue is at 131k miles I think it's time for a tune up. I'm not sure if it's ever been Replaced the cvt liquid
Careful when it comes to replacing the transmission fluid at this point on your vehicle. It's one of those things where if you have been changing the fluid, keep doing it. If you haven't, and you have quite a few miles on it...don't. you might do more harm than good.
@@guitarismike9 yup. I heard alot of ppl telling me that. The dealership will do it for 150-200
@@dannydnice1 That sounds about right. I recently got rid of my wife's 2012 nissan murano Cueto the transmission slowly but surely going out. I'll never buy another nissan with a CVT again.
@@guitarismike9 Once I get rid of mine I will never by another Nissan CVT again either.
Simple, efficace
Merci beaucoup et bonjour de France
vous êtes le bienvenu, i took French 40 years ago when i lived in Canada but forgot it all.
So pardon the ignorance but is the the same as the transmission oil? I thought I heard you mention transmission. Thank you ☺️
I have a Nissan Rogue with 300,000 on it I just do a drain and fill every 30000 never had a problem
how many quarts?
Hi there need to change the transmission filter too?
