- 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?
Best video I’ve seen on changing CVT fluid, and I’ve seen a lot.
Simple as an oil change sans filter. Thanks for taking the mystery out of it with this clean, concise video.
You have helped me and I am sure so many other people who know nothing about maintaining their cars. Thank YOU!
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
Best video with excellent
explanation. I really liked the step by step details of how to change the CVT fluid
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
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,
Thank you, you are a master.
I appreciate the time you took to share it.
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.
Excellent tutorial, very detailed thank you very much. Now i can do it myself, dealer was asking 350 bucks . 👍👍👍👍
Excellent how-to. Thank you for all the hard work.
awesome video! when I saw you bought the book I thought this guy knows what he's doing keep it up!
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.
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.
Good video. Thanks for taking the time to put out content without a lot of extra banter. Very helpful.
Great detailed vid- will you also do other maintenance for the vehicle like coolant flush?
Nice and clean and straight to the point. Great tutorial!
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.
Thanks for the video, pretty straightforward. Did mine today
Thank you very much, excellent presentation, detail orientation best video I have seen on CVT flush out. Now I can do it. 👍👍
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
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🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
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
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
Thanks for the information. I really needed this!
How often do you recommend to change CVT fluid filter in addition to CVT fluid itself?
Good video sir most videos don't explain as much as you do..keep up the good showing of videos..
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
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..👍
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
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 .
Great video.. concise and explicit
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!! 👍
You got my vote, thanks. Never said that before!
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
Great Video. Informative and concise. Love it.
Thank you for this video. Any other mechanic tips on 2011 Nissan Rogue that can help or avoid major problems.
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.
You made me feel like I can put my coverall on and do it myself. I LOVE this video. Thanks alot
Great video! Very clear and helpful
This very simple and concise vedio
Great work
excellent presentation with the right contents, Thanks!
So pardon the ignorance but is the the same as the transmission oil? I thought I heard you mention transmission. Thank you ☺️
Excellent video !!! Just a question. What about the filters, as I know there are 2 filters for the Transmission Oil. I'm looking to change the oil but I'm concern about filters.
Thanks in advance
You need to replace that filters.
Do you check the oil level in this CVT while the engine is running or when the engine is hot but not running?
Does a 2.0 2018 Rogue Sport have the same CVT as the regular 2.5 liter Rogue?
Excellent, presentation now I can do it myself. Thanks for the tutorial 👍👍.
If you drain out hot fluid and put in cold fluid you won't be putting in the same amount if the fluid expands when it's hot, would you?
Can you meka a video to see how to replacement the valve gasket on the nissan rogue tankyou
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.
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 ?
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.
thanks for your video. saved me hundreds if I took it to the stealership
What about the pan gasket and trans filter. How does that get repaced
Thank you for this video, very helpful indeed
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,
The video was fantabulous!
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!
gREAT VIDEO EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND GREAT KNOWLEDGEABLE ADVICE,
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
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
great video...this saves me from spending a fortune at the dealer
Did you ever change the transmission filter with transmission fluid??
You did great man this helped a lot. You got a follower for sure.
Thanks for that video !
Is it a good idea to do the drain and fill once again in a few days ?
Bighill that would exchange more oil but that gets expensive, after 100k, I would do an exchange every 30-50 k,
You gotta go like a hundred miles for it to get completely mixed in there.
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.
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.)
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.
Great informative video! Should we also replace the transmission gasket and filter too?
Curious as well on this
Yeah you should. Probably every 50k
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.
Hi there need to change the transmission filter too?
Thank you very much for your help.
Good video, why is it do many techs stress the importance of knowing the ATF Temp Count with an scan tool?
Was the car able to drive before adding the fluid
Excellent video.
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 this why many CVT transmissions fail? Because ppl don't change the fluid?
I also have water collecting on the driver side floor nearest the door. Please help.
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
Very thorough.
What about the oil filter on the CVT?
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.
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?
Ty, I'll be keeping up with it.😊
How about the filter I need to service mine and I want to know how to remove the filter😞
i have my 2009 rogue with 35 k miles original, at that time, our seller told us that the transsmission oil should never be replaced, so my doubt is, when do i should really change it ? how often ?
Call the dealer, 11 year old fluid won’t protect the tranny.
Great video
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.
Best video, tutorial 👍👍.
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
does drain plug require new gasket?
You ever recommend using a trans stabilizer fluid like Lucas?
I actually used 2 ounces since I already had oil in it. It seemed to quiet startup a bit. No harm. Motorkote would be better but don’t keep it in too long because of the chlorine I heard.
I just purchased a 09 Nissan rogue and it has 150k miles on it do I change the oil now and should I do it myself ? Great video by the way
Pedro Maycock I would drain and fill immediately and examine the condition of the fluid.
@@DownsizingMakesCents thank you for the reply .
I thought the vehicle was supposed to be level when draining and checking. Nice video, well planned out.
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 ?
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.
Thank you for sharing!
Isn't the car supposed to be running and in park when you check your fluid level?
