DIY for Changing CVT Fluid

[bembol]

I ask my dealer, service manager and was told that it's unnecessary and it would be costly, around $650 for them to do it. He also said CVT Fluid can last like 250k/km without changes and they to TRACK it using their System.

Any DIY Guides, I got nothing when I searched. I looking for Flush & Fill Specs like Liters, Torque.

Thanks.

It's all covered in the online FSM, just a pull the plug/drain and refill (on the 2.5L). On a thread over on the NissanClub forum, a Nissan tech says their customer cars are changed at 30k and the fluid is pretty dirty. The FSM says a Consult is used to check the fluid degredation number and it needs changed over 200,000 (or something in that range). Fluid online is $15/quart and we need around 8 qts, so you can do it yourself for less than $100 (which is still pricey). The FSM says do it at 60k, which is what I will do.Here's the related thread:http://www.nissanclub.com/foru...46636
