How to Change 2013-2019 SENTRA CVT Fluid & Filters (complete tutorial by a real owner) at 168,000 mi 

Why was it flowing before u put back the plug??

New subscriber! Thank you for doing this!🍻

Good video 👍

My 2017 Nissan Sentra was jumping at 80mph not wanting to go past that so I put new CVT fluid in it and a new air cooler and transmission condenser. 100% fixed everything the car was doing drives 100% now

​@@philliphardin6161I'm having the same issue!!Changing the fluid seems to help for 15k miles or so. Wondering if I should do the other things you did as well.

Crap ass cap. I got so mad I crushed it into pieces with pliers...

You’re one of the few that gets it, many still can’t understand how the procedure works.

There are other cleaners for sale I've seen auto zone etc , is that good to use? the hose size for the cleaning ?

@@2009daviduhs I serviced the car about 2 times before this service on the video. I have another 2022 Sentra with 91k miles and haven’t serviced the cvt, lol, looking forward to making a video on it soon.

It wouldn't hurt it if you do it right. Follow service manuals and do all the steps properly within reason.

205k miles

They last fine if you change the fluid often (if you are able to do it yourself it's much cheaper, so I do it more often) I do my gf car every 30k which is about 1.5 years of driving for her. S far she's at 180k km and no issues, still works fine. Bought car at 55k, changed fluid at 60k, 90k, 120k, 150k and just recently at 180k. If I can avoid problems with the transmission, which is the biggest problem with these, the rest is no big deal, it's just been regular maintenance and wear items. Oil changes, brakes and tires.

I had that issue w a used one. I found out the critical upkeep to keep the cvt going is fluid flushes. It seems like most of the ones that fail do so because people had filthy fluid and didn’t change it due to the difficulty compared with most other cars. After watching this video it looks like it isn’t too bad after all, a little more work than some cars but not bad.

I changed the transmission fluid at 100,000 miles, Nissan Rogue and no issues but I’ll be changing filters next time at 120,000 because I didn’t have all gaskets at the time

Fact

You cannot rely on what comes out because sometimes that fluid burns out or you don't always get the same amount out every time. There would be no overflow plug if Nissan did not intend this being their service instructions.

Define more often? From what I have seen you could do drain and fill every 30,000 miles and change filter the second time every 60,000 miles.

@@jefemuga416 me da gusto que te sirvan y te hayan gustado!

Ya me recomendarías hacer este servicio? Mi Sentra Advance ya tiene 15,000 kilómetros

There is oil trapped in the transmission. You put 4.5 quarts in and after running 20 minutes and shifting through the gears, leave motor running and pull drain plug. The excess oil will drain out. It won’t be 1/2 a quart.

I will post them in the description soon.

@@SamAkaVlogs Reminder........

Ahí dice que 5 .. cuartos . Yo también lo he echo y le aviento 4 y medio o 5 por qué va a tirar como casi un cuarto

Yo le aventé una garrafa de 5 quartoz y deje calentar un rato y destape y le salió como un cuarto Se llevó en total 4 quartoz

It could save your CVT transmission from a $5000 replacement fee. I change the transmission fluid myself every 20k miles to extend the life of the transmission.

Watch a few different videos to get a better idea.

Yes

You’ve probably already stripped it, don’t over tighten that’s why I said it in the video

I am thinking the same way. But they changed $350.00 for transmission oil change for Nissan Versa not 2015.

@@giannakos3 7+ is when you rebuild your transmission. For a simple fluid change it only takes about 5 quarts or bit less.

@@SamAkaVlogs thanks

No need to take the pan off unless you are changing the metal filter. Otherwise - remove the 19mm bolt and open the 5mm overflow and all the fluid will drain out without having to remove the pan. Replacing the 19mm bolt and closing overflow, then add new fluid. Start engine, open the overflow let excess drain as engine is running. When flow ceases...close the overflow and tighten the 19mm bolt.

No the overfill is what let's it keep the right amount of fluid if there's to much fluid it runs out the overfill tube exactly what the name is

No soy mecánico pero hay muchos vídeos que te pueden ayudar a hacerlo como a mi me ayudaron para cambiar el mío Necesitas un bote para drenar tu líquido, otro para saber cuanto líquido le sacaste a tu vehículo. Por ejemplo normalmente debería ser 4.5 quarts pero en mi caso salieron 4.7 quarts. Hay una página en internet donde puedes comprar todo lo que necesites original a buen precio o comprar el líquido sintético Castrol o valvoline en Walmart y te sale barato

Q tipo de azeite valvoline

I would never drop the pan unless there was a leak or rattle. Otherwise a drain and a refill of the fluid and paper filter element every 25-30k ;)

@@wayne8001 Very good, piece of mind for us. Clean off the sludge on the magnets. Can't hurt.

NO, it's the original, very smooth shifts 204,000 original miles.

Awesome. I have 190k if nissan only would tell customers more about this most are used to the ect and never think they have to. I rather have an ect personally but I have changed mine every 30 to 50k and mine fine at 190 now I need replace cv axles and the output seals little wet around the seals now and axles ripped the boots

Changing the fluid will either fix the problem or make no difference (if it's a mechanical issue rather than bad fluid), so I would change it to see. I had a Dodge Caliber with a Jatco CVT and it started giving me those symptoms around 30,000 miles since the last fluid change. CVT fluid loses its ability to do its job after it gets so old. Change the filters and clean the pan if you do. I just did the full job on my mom's 2018 Nissan Sentra at 100,000 miles because it had never been changed. Changing the fluid hurt nothing and it actually made the transmission slightly quieter. I used a meat thermometer from Walmart with a wired probe that I slid all the way down the fill tube to the bottom of the pan to read the fluid temperature. I had to bend the probe into a curve to match the fill tube so it would fit. You want to drain the excess fluid at 104 degrees Fahrenheit instead of going by how many minutes the engine has been running like this video suggests, because it could be inaccurate based on the ambient temperature outside.

I said change not flush. When you change your engine oil do you do a flush or you "marinade" it.

You were told BS. Has a paper filter and metal filter. Someone wants your money.

On P

There he said that car has +270 K kilometers

As long as the radiator fan blows air into the engine.

Preferably leveled

Nope, all that is in this video
