My ocd kicked in and I actually did FOUR drain & fills in a 2 month period back in the summer of 2017. Dropped pan twice and even replaced strainer. I wanted to achieve the best ratio of new fluid before reaching a point of diminishing returns.
Only reason I did this is because my ignorant butt waited until I had clocked 87,000 miles already without thinking about my transmission needs and those nightmare implosion stories. Did a fifth drain & fill a little over a year ago.
But don’t worry, I still like 15-20,000 mile oil changes, with it being a year and 3 months since my last oil change. Only around 8000 miles so far and less driving cuz of pandemic. So it will be a very long time til I change oil again.
Anyways, it cost me over $400 in NS-2 fluid and personal time, but I rather be proactive and try to keep my ORIGINAL decade+ old transmission alive For another 60,000 miles. It nearly has 98,000 miles presently.
$400 vs $4000 new cvt= smart investment buying a case of cvt-2 Nissan fluid.
Rogue runs smooth as butter with zero hesitation. Before the cvt drain & fill, trans, diff drain & fills, my rogue hesitated so badly that it would jerk my head back like you were receiving mini whiplash every time you stepped on the gas.
Also don’t forget the other vibration as if you were driving over rumble strips at 35mph, totally gone too!
