One of my customers using Eneos mentioned that too, and the specs on the Eneos fluid are excellent. Seems like a winner.

What cvt did they use on the 18 rogue awd? Am I looking at the underwhelming 09 belt style or the well built chain? Fwiw my tech said 18 was a good year for the rogue and has saw nothing but maintenance in his bay. I’ll still drain and fill every 10k regardless.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 2:29 pmMany of the AWD's basically use the 6-cyl chain setup, so by and large that's true (however, I don't exactly have a list of the exceptions). IMHO the vectored AWD on the Juke was one of the absolute finest AWD setups ever constructed by anybody, and I have no idea why Nissan never extended it to other models. Lucky you, what a hoot to drive!
The AWD Rogues actually use a bolt-on TY21C transfer assembly coupled to the standard RE0F10 tranny. I think that's pretty much the direction Nissan is going with AWD on the 4-cyl's. Mind you, I wasn't implying that there's anything structurally wrong with the 4-cyl CVT belts. They're plenty strong for the application, which is more-or-less 250 HP and down. What I was conferring in the pics is how much smaller the cross- and surface-sections are compared to the sixes. That means extra per-square shearing force under load and accelerated shear breakdown of the fluid molecules in consequence. The English translation is, if they're driven hard and not maintained, they naturally beat the crap out of the fluid and suffer early failure. However, as meticulous as you are about your fluid, I'll be terribly surprised if your belt doesn't long outlive the rest of your car.D1dad wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 4:17 amWhat cvt did they use on the 18 rogue awd?

Aw, c'mon, patience is a virtue.
If it already has a 4-port and you're not taking the beehive loose, Nissan doesn't recommend ever replacing that filter and neither do I. No CVT ever makes ATF soup because there's no almost no ablative clutch material, so it isn't serving the same purpose as it would in a conventional trans. It's only reason for existence is to catch the small amount of shavings from break-in, and changing it will just put some amount of those shavings back into circulation until they get caught again. It's probably fine to change it when you're converting from 2-port to 4-port and you're taking the beehive loose anyway, but aside from that, my advice is forget it's there.C-ya wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 4:46 pmI did a pan drop and screen filter change on my daughter's '11 Rogue SV AWD and I ran out of time to get the filter behind the cooler done. In reading through the TSB, it seems like very little if any transmission fluid is lost. Would I be OK to drop it and change the filter with the normal operating amount of fluid in the transmission? It already has the 4-port beehive cooler. I didn't look for the aux cooler, but I will in the next day or 3.
Mileage is 127K. I thought it was engine related at first, but it is as quiet in neutral or park as it is when warm. You can rev the engine while cold - within reason, of course - and not hear anything. It is only while driving that you hear the rattle. When we first started driving it, we kept the rpm at or below 2,500, and lower if possible. Once warm, the rattle was gone, and the vehicle kept the rpm where it needed to be, which with an easy pedal, was always 2,000 or below. Now with it quieter, we are still trying to drive easy until it warms up some.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 7:23 pmPS - I don't know what the car's mileage is, but your cold rattle may well be piston-slap and not the tranny. QR25's are infamous for it, but with good maintenance and treatment they can run for ages with the pistons slapping merrily every morning. If that's what it is, just don't push it until it gets warm.
They were pretty small. Ended up with one in a fingertip. Don't mind the junk on the rim. I laid it in a pile of oil dry.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 7:17 pmVis the slivers, the size of them is what really matters. With crappy old fluid there's bound to have been some wear and tear, but as long as it's fine slivers with nothing bigger than about a millimeter, you should be okay.
Thanks much.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 5:08 pmNone of that is big enough to sweat, and for a tranny that's been in service for awhile it's not bad at all. No worries.
