Just did mine today, but I changed both filters. The paper filter was a doozy, had 4 bolts and a bit tricky to reach. I drained just over 3.5L into the pan and a bit more came out when I pulled the filters. I put a full 4L bottle in and ran the engine while switching gears during the fill. I did break my cap as you mentioned haha, nearly impossible to get old plastic to bend without cracking.
Why the overfill step at the end of you matched the fluid drained? Why didn't u change the transmission filter? Will you change fluid again as the transmission has much more than 4 quarts inside that didn't get flushed out? If yes, after how long?
The fluid actually looked pretty good . I have not had this car long so I don't know the history and wanted to do a drain fill. Usually I will wait and do the next about a year later . If the fluid is dirty about 6 months . I like to figure on changing it every 30k regularly. I may also change out the filter at a later time , but it is a little more involved. This car was most likely not filled correctly from before and that is why I verified with the overflow. Thanks for the feedback.
My car is slipping in first gear from a stop after it's been running for a while. Usually, turning the car off and on will fix the issue, but I need a quick fix for the weekend. Would adding a quart or two of transmission fluid help with the issue?
@@ericawolak2238honestly sounds like you trans is broken. Happened to mine after pepboys put 2 wrong size tires on the back. Luckily they paid to get it replaced
@@jacobboyer8677Most likely needs a transmission. Once they start bucking on shifts or notoriously bucking when taking off in 1st gear, it’s time. The steel belt stretches/wears out and above are your symptoms. (Info from experience)
I believe my car has the same transmission. CVT8 I use the extractor to drain the fluid from the dipstick pipe. It's around 3 litres every time Which is similar to your 3.5 quart
The main reason is the vehicle is new to me , so I do not know the history if it has been changed at all. I will most likely follow up with this drain fill in about a year. This also gave me the opportunity to make sure the fill level was correct . I like to figure on changing the fluid every 30k. Thank you for watching.

The original Nissan transmission fluid is actually blue. Makes it easy to find leaks if you change the filters 😅
Thank you for taking the time to share this and thanks for the feedback.

@@ericawolak2238 my car is doing the same thing. Did you figure anything out?

That is a great way to do it , I need to get one. Thanks for the feedback.
@@s33therfan However, this way, I don't get to change the filters
Is this transmission still alive, or was it G.G's ?
Surprisingly the cvt is in great condition still going strong currently. Thank you for watching.
@@s33therfan do we need to change the filter and if we do, where is it?
@@KevinMartinez-zl4pmThere is 2. One inside the transmission pan and other on the side. Rockauto has the parts
What prompted you to need to change the ctv fluid in this vehicle?
