Merged with existing thread. Please read the previous posts.dna9656 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 12, 2022 12:23 amI have a 2019 I purchased new. It's an all wheel drive model. The Dealer wants $300.00 to change the lube in both the front and rear diffs and add molybdenum? They want $99.00 a quart for their lube too. I think that's excessive. I have a Haynes manual on order, it'll more than cover whatever I am going to do maintenance wise on this vehicle.
Is this just a matter of draining the existing lube (I have a suction tool to remove gear lube from conventional rear axles) or is this something I really don't want to do?
We bought a warranty to learn it's not such a great warranty, they change the oil and filter, fluids, some other stuff stuff is covered but nothing that has needed work was covered. How nice for Nissan.
Peace.

The only fluids in the drive train you need to drain are:
Engine Coolant
Engine Oil
CVT transmission fluid
Transfer Case Fluid (gl4/5)
Rear Differential/Carrier Fluid.(gl 4/5)
Read this map I drew:
The deterioration is useless information, the TCM only updates it by temperature. It doesn't consider mechanical shear breakdown of the fluid or gradual oxidation over time, which both contribute mightily to fluid wearing out. I never reset the deterioration on our '13 Altie, I just change the fluid regularly like Casper.dna9656 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 12:49 pmI understand that when the CVT Transaxle fluid is changed the "CVT "Deterioration Date" must be changed using a "Factory CONSULT" scanner at a dealer or "other properly equipped shop". Anyone ever deal with this? What does the dealer or "other shop" charge for this? This is a rip off, like Chrysler not using dip sticks on their automatic transmissions; you're supposed to take it to a dealer where they warm the transmission to operation temp and stick a dealer only dip stick in the tranny for $50.00.
VStar - Is NS-3 backward compatible to NS-2 in a Gen 1 Rogue? Is NS-3 better?VStar650CL wrote: ↑Fri Jun 24, 2022 7:44 am@D1Dad means NS2 and NS3, those are the Nissan designations for the early-model and late-model CVT fluids. Your '19 will take NS3. He's right about Eneos, it's outstanding fluid with great specifications and it's the same color as NS3, so it won't cause any rude questions if there's a warranty issue.
Napa will carry eneos fluid for around 30% of what Nissan fluid cost. The eco brand is what I’d choose. It’s a dollar more than the eneos N3 fluid but has a better base stock (supposedly). I just put 4 quarts of it in the wife’s 2018. According to people who know more than myself, eneos is the supplier for Nissan so you may very well be getting the same fluid. I can verify that the Nissan cvt and eneos N3 are the exact same bottle. I still think the eneos eco fluid is the better of the 2. I completely replaced all the fluid in my 09 with eco and it really quieted it down and got rid of most of the goofy stuff that cvts do. Even valvoline would be fine but is a bit more viscous which would be good in a warmer climate. It also is amber as opposed to blue but the average tech wouldn’t know the difference after it’s mixed with your stock swill. We’re going to go to Asheville today from Myrtle beach so I’ll be able to see what 4 qts of eco does as far as cvt temps go.
Thank you, but my Rogue is a 2019 not a 2014.itsa300zx wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 11:07 amGo to the maintenance section of the FSM page MA30-MA31, has illustrations.
