2011 Nissan Rogue CVT Drain and Fill 

Simple as an oil change sans filter. Thanks for taking the mystery out of it with this clean, concise video.

You have helped me and I am sure so many other people who know nothing about maintaining their cars. Thank YOU!

Best video I’ve seen on changing CVT fluid, and I’ve seen a lot.

Best video with excellent explanation. I really liked the step by step details of how to change the CVT fluid

Excellent presentation, you couldn’t be any simpler in explaining it. Thank you 👍🏼

I own a 2012 Rogue, & had heard about the CVT failures. I’ve never changed my fluid (86000 miles), but I definitely will now! Very clear, concise instructions. Thanks !

Best video that I ever seen about cvt oil change, well done

Honest and to the point, good content, no frills, nice close ups. Thanks for the video, well done!

Great video! Will be changing the CVT fluid on my 2011 Rogue this weekend and this video came right on time!

Excellent tutorial, very detailed thank you very much. Now i can do it myself, dealer was asking 350 bucks . 👍👍👍👍

Thank you, you are a master. I appreciate the time you took to share it.

Excellent how-to. Thank you for all the hard work.

Thank you so much for the info. I just bought my first car and slowly learning about my vehicle. I can do this myself thank you.

I’m lucky to watch this video now I know my car needs CVT NS 3 . Now my car is 51 thousands miles if i go local workshop 100% they gonna put regular transmission oil. Thanks for information.

Nice and clean and straight to the point. Great tutorial!

Excellent video. Informative and to the point. I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks!

Thank you very much, excellent presentation, detail orientation best video I have seen on CVT flush out. Now I can do it. 👍👍

awesome video! when I saw you bought the book I thought this guy knows what he's doing keep it up!

That was an excellent presentation I have an '09 Nissan rogue and I had a hard time trying to locate mine until I watched your video and then I found what I was doing wrong now I have it right The car is driving very quietly now thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thanks for the video, pretty straightforward. Did mine today

Those words "catastrophic failure" really do give me the chills. I'm off to give my 2013 Rogue with 153,000 miles it's second CVT fluid change right now. This video prepared me last time and helped me again today. I'm expecting 200,000 or more from old Bessie.

Good video. Thanks for taking the time to put out content without a lot of extra banter. Very helpful.

Thanks for the information. I really needed this!

Love the video I have a 15’ Rogue and agree that the CVT has a bad rep I change my fluid every 30 k miles

Perfect, you are helping people with CVT's and the funny thing if you call the Nissan they said CVT fluid is lifetime!

Good video sir most videos don't explain as much as you do..keep up the good showing of videos..

Great Video. Informative and concise. Love it.

excellent presentation with the right contents, Thanks!

You got my vote, thanks. Never said that before!

This very simple and concise vedio Great work

I have a 2016 Altima with almost 42,000 miles. I decided to change my CVT fluid at around 36,000 miles after reading many horror stories about these transmissions. I saw in the service manual that the fluid seems to be very sensitive to temperature, so I did the drain and fill on a morning here in Florida when the temp was around 60. Just under 4 quarts came out, so just added the exact same amount. My car does not have a dipstick, just the cap on top of the tube. I plan on doing a 4 quart drain and fill every year to keep the fluid fresh. Just bought some on Amazon and I think it was around $17 a quart for the Nissan NS-3 fluid. After the warranty expires, I may decide to use a different fluid. Hope to see more videos from you.

Great video! Very clear and helpful

Dude, you are awesome! I’m gonna tackle this tomorrow but I’m gonna take the whole pan off to change the transmission filter as well. Great video! I’m subscribing dude!! 👍

Great video.. concise and explicit

When changing the fluid..you got two filters to change..take trans pan off filter there & a filter goes in the transmission cooler...then replace pan & transmission cooler then refill..👍

Excellent, presentation now I can do it myself. Thanks for the tutorial 👍👍.

You made me feel like I can put my coverall on and do it myself. I LOVE this video. Thanks alot

your video is just great. Short to the point, informative and specific. For the sake of just giving you some feedback since you are looking forward to it..... here is an idea: why not take this video and add Cvt pan disassembly to clean inside of the pan and the magnets?? Thanks a lot for a great video

Thank you for this video. Any other mechanic tips on 2011 Nissan Rogue that can help or avoid major problems.

Thanks for making this video.i have one question the oil level you show hot point should not above but morning time before start the car level will be too high from the hot mark.Is that ok.If i keeps oil level up to hot mark not above that in cold engine but when i drive couple hours the level goes down from the upper hot mark.Is this not good for transmission and i should put more oil don’t care where the oil level go morning time.pls answer me if you understand my question.

Thank you for this video, very helpful indeed

Great detailed vid- will you also do other maintenance for the vehicle like coolant flush?

thanks for your video. saved me hundreds if I took it to the stealership

Great video, well done, thanks for your efforts, it is very helpful! Especially since Jiffy Lube said it is a sealed transmission and therefore could not check the fluid level, it seems they are incorrect after watching this video.

Great video work. Good presentation. Step by step instruction. You would make a good teacher. Don't forget a new crush washer so it dosen't leak doorman has this washer. I believe it is a m12 copper crush washer. I think you can get it at O'Reilly auto parts.

Nice and very easy to follow you made a good video , by the way did you replace the Copper washer on the transmission drain plug before putting the plug back on the transmission ? I Will look at IT again just to make sure that I am not wrong . Thanks a lot for your Sharing .

Now there is NS3 fluid which is light blue color new. I don't know when they started using that but my 2017 Rogue has a sticker warning me to use only NS3 fluid or bad things might happen.

Thanks for the video. I plan on disconnecting the oil cooler line after the initial refill to get the other 4 quarts out of the system that way I am not mixing old fluid with new. Only because my Rouge has 98K and never been done.

You are the man! Really help out with the heads up on changing trans oil after 50k. Only thing can you put ur finger on exactly where it should be on the dip stick check? Thanks a million!

gREAT VIDEO EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND GREAT KNOWLEDGEABLE ADVICE,

I have 2010 Nissan rouge fwd, I would like to know if only drain and filled out? No take the pan off and change the filter or doesn’t have it? Thank

You forgot to mention the copper crush gsaket that goes under the plug. Good video, thanks

Do you check the (warm) range while it is running (engine on) or do you warm up then shut it off and check it? Ive heard both ways

The video was fantabulous!

Can you meka a video to see how to replacement the valve gasket on the nissan rogue tankyou

Does a 2.0 2018 Rogue Sport have the same CVT as the regular 2.5 liter Rogue?

How often do you recommend to change CVT fluid filter in addition to CVT fluid itself?

Excellent video!! Thanks. I have a question. Do we have to change the transmission filter as well, every time that we drain and fill transmission fluid?

Great video, and detailed explanation! My only critique is that you should never use a torque wrench to loosen anything! You will ruin your torque wrench, or at the very least, throw the calibration off. Instead, invest in a breaker bar for loosening hard to turn fasteners, or in this case, drain plugs.

Excellent video !!! Just a question. What about the filters, as I know there are 2 filters for the Transmission Oil. I'm looking to change the oil but I'm concern about filters. Thanks in advance

Should we warm up the car first before changing the oil? Or better to keep it cold to make sure all oil are collected down ?

great video...this saves me from spending a fortune at the dealer

What about the pan gasket and trans filter. How does that get repaced

If you drain out hot fluid and put in cold fluid you won't be putting in the same amount if the fluid expands when it's hot, would you?

Good video, why is it do many techs stress the importance of knowing the ATF Temp Count with an scan tool?

You did great man this helped a lot. You got a follower for sure.

is your rogue AWD or FWD? Did you warm up engine/transmission before draining oil? Do u check transmission fluid dipstick with engine off or on

Thank you very much for your help.

Do you check the oil level in this CVT while the engine is running or when the engine is hot but not running?

Hi there need to change the transmission filter too?

I thought the vehicle was supposed to be level when draining and checking. Nice video, well planned out.

I also have water collecting on the driver side floor nearest the door. Please help.

So pardon the ignorance but is the the same as the transmission oil? I thought I heard you mention transmission. Thank you ☺️

Hi, thanks for the video but I have it. a nissa rogue 2011 SV which oil cvt would you recommend the car has the 95000 mile can you help me please

Excellent video.

With a 2012 Nissan Rogue when changing the CVT Transmission fluid does it matter what Brand to Use ? Couldn't I use Amsoil CVT Transmission Fluid ? Or does it have to be NS-2 CVT fluid ???

I've just purchased a 2012 Nissan rogue 2wd. 43,000 thousand miles. I will take your advice and change it at 50,000. The vehicle was driven by a elderly woman. Vehicle is cherry and I want to try and avoid any unwanted issues. Great advise. Maintenance book says every 80,000. I will ignore that suggestion. I will also use oem Nissan fluid.

Solid "how to" video. I think all of the Nissans made between 2008 - 2014 have had their CVT transmission changed/fail by now, Nissan should have recalled all of them. We have already put over 138,000 miles on the new/replacement transmission so I think Nissan fixed the problem. However, I've noticed all CVT transmissions require fluid changes more often than traditional geared transmissions, every 40,000 to 50,000 miles vs 80,000 to 120,000 miles.

Hello I went to the dealer to change my cvt fluid and then I check the level and was higher than the mark and the color of the oil wasn't green it came out clear brownish. They did something wrong? I feel nervous about it

Great video

Best video, tutorial 👍👍.

Is this why many CVT transmissions fail? Because ppl don't change the fluid?

Simple, efficace Merci beaucoup et bonjour de France

How about the filter I need to service mine and I want to know how to remove the filter😞

Isn't the car supposed to be running and in park when you check your fluid level?

I have this 2011 Rogue...and had an issue with no acceleration on Sat.after a Navy game. Glided home essentially. Had it towed. Today they informed me I had no transmission fluid but yet no indication at off of leaks! How can Trans Fluid just disappear? If anyone know of has ideas. The only answer I can think of is someone emptied it and didn't refill it at some point. A week ago I had it in for a brake job (not that that should have anything to do with it). Great video

Great informative video! Should we also replace the transmission gasket and filter too?

Thanks for your help, I did it,👍👍.

Did you ever change the transmission filter with transmission fluid??

Good, great vid, but keep the car level when draining and filling. Have a spare drain plug seal too. Sir, Thk-u very much!!

Ty, I'll be keeping up with it.😊

What about the oil filter on the CVT?

Thank you I think I can tackle this .. I'm having trouble finding what is actually wrong .. so do what I am able first

i have my 2009 rogue with 35 k miles original, at that time, our seller told us that the transsmission oil should never be replaced, so my doubt is, when do i should really change it ? how often ?

There's actually a process to measure the CVTF level, where you have to warm up the CVTF a little bit, park in a flat surface, push the ebrake, go to 1st Gear, take the dipstick out, clean it, put it back in and then take the selector to either N or P, then grab the CVTF level, which has to be between the 2 dipstick notches. That's how it's instructed on the FSM.

You did good on your video. It is sad that Nissan has a history of horror stories when it comes to their CVT. One of the worst is that on 2007 and Maxima's; many of the CVT vibrated the entire car between 20 and 30 MPH. And get this, Nissan says there is NO solution for this problem. And if your car does have it, it won't do it. Sad, sad, SAD for those who get one of those beasts. Note: You CAN stop the vibration IF you gun the engine through those RPM's. But who wants to do that.

Very thorough.

does drain plug require new gasket?

You can use Pennzoil CVT2 fluid, it's the same as Nissan's NS2. I have a MSDS / SDS for Nissan NS2 and it shows that the maker of the Nissan fluid is SOPUS, which is Standard Oil Products US. The Pennzoil CVT2 is the exact same colour and your Nissan NS2 at a much better price. NOTE CORRECTION: SOPUS is Shell Oil Products !! not Standard Oil, my mistake, my bad.

No filter change?
