Bro, just found your channel to help me fix my daughter's Maxima and my other daughter's Altima. I like the attention to detail you put into the videos. Well done!
This is one of the best 7th gen vids ive ever seen. Thank you. Ive gained much greater confidence in checking this, Regularly in my case, as im trying to to reach 300k soon. Currently at 292k..well car n cvt are...engine at 262k ... Word to the wise* if you do a radiator/upper hoses may want to consider hookin up that Plastic*filler neck w an oem freshy..wish ida had done it 🙄
50:43 I find it amazing the Nissan Dealers have no idea about this filter. Even parts claims it didn't exist until I gave them the part #. My guess is only gearheads are actually changing it so I wonder if it really impacts failure. I didn't push it as I figure if they have never done the job it will probably leak, tear my 11 year old hoses, etc I have a 2013 with 70K, CVT fluid only done at 48K .................all is good so far
I got a 2009 nissan murano & i got the same filter under the transmission pan & I just pulled it off & cleaned it with brake cleaner & let it dry, then put it back on. Nissan didnt even have the right filter.
Right that's my thought u almost need to drop the pan to get all of the fluid out my gf car has 230,000 and fluid has only been changed once no filter cause according to her ex-husband there isn't an external filter and yet her old one messed up after she had the fluid changed for the 2nd time at 200000+ I don't remember how many miles was on it it's still in the driveway but the battery is dead but other than that everything is good but the trans and it is an 09 and the one I'm about to do the fluid on now is a 2010 and she says just the fluid now I almost don't wanna do it cause I'm not screwing it up and getting blamed for it and yes it was an excellent video I know now I'm not about to do it at 12 at night in November either thank u
That’s perfectly fine if thats his suggestion and/or that’s how often you want to do it. I’m certainly not opposed. Hell you can do it every 5k with the oil change if you want. As I outlined in the end of the video every 30k is my opinion, and most vehicles that utilize CVT’s (not just Nissan) suggest 30k intervals. Especially if it has or is being regularly maintained, 30k is a good interval to start with….but as I also said in the video that could be subjective to the condition of the transmission and/or the prior maintenance. If you are inspecting the fluid regularly and it looks really dark/deteriorated prior to 30k, nothing wrong with getting it out of there and replacing it!

Great video and advice thanks sir
How many miles on the Maxima?
Appreciate the comment. Mileage was mentioned in the video a few times, @1:01 & @7:24 for example. Was 101k.
Excellent video
@@mikehernandez9567 appreciate the comment Mike, thank you!
Inner filter looks like a metal screen mesh. Carefully clean and reinstall.
@@jockobacumbo623 spoke on that in the video
Well done video.
Thanks for the comment! 🙏
Where are you located?
Why not give WD40 a try?
I mean I could of…but after the initial fight with the drain plug I wasnt anticipating, just kinda felt a bit too late for that lol
Pretty stupid design by Nissan that the drain plug sits an inch or so above the bottom of the pan.
The trans guy on the gram said 20K
