Idiot moment

[tlc83191]

I have a 2012 altima 2.5 s... I had an idiot moment today and drained the cvt instead of the oil .. realized it when I cranked it up and it wouldn't accelerate in reverse. I'm going to the dealership and getting the cvt fluid tomorrow, but my question is do you guys think I caused any damage when I tried to reverse it ? Also I got 5.5 qts out of it, how many qts does it hold b/c it's at 60000 miles and due for the cvt drain and refill anyway so do I just have to refill it now or is there more to drain? Thank you for any advice!

put in 6 qts and got it to the right level and it is running perfectly fine now if not better! So all is good now... I will not make that mistake twice lol but at least it was due for a drain and refill anyway otherwise spending 130 on that fluid would have sucked. Checked with the dealer and they said it holds 12 qts total which is what you need for a flush.

Whatever became of this issue? Did you end up murdering your CVT?
