Thank you for your video. I recently had my fluid changed in my 2018 Sentra at 45,000 miles professionally. Your video instructs on how to the change the fluid, but not the filter. I AM NOT SINGLING YOUR VIDEO OUT. IT IS EXCELLENT! I did some research regarding this fluid exchange by watching maybe 6 other videos as well. Most showed the filter being exchanged. I After watching the videos, I contacted three local Nissan dealers regarding price and process. Quotes were $100 to $200 dollars apart. When I inquired if the external filter ($12) was part of the fluid change process, all three said no, my 2018 Sentra doesn't have a filter. They were all wrong and incompetent. The independent mechanic I use was aware of the filter exchange requirement. The bottom line is, know what your service people don't. Get educated before getting ripped off. Thanks again for your work.
Great job!!! I like the way you kept the vehicle level instead of using a floor jack which we'll make the vehicle un level, giving you an inaccurate fluid level reading!!! your video was spot on 😇🏆
Great video Sam! It was very helpful for me to change my tranny fluid on my 2015 Nissan Sentra. However, I am a little confused on how the whole overflow tube works. Basically, what I did is that when I removed the 19mm bolt, just about 2 quarts drained out. I noticed on your video no fluid even came out??? Then, I removed the 5mm overflow tube, and an extra 1.3 quarts of fluid came out, for a total of 3.3 quarts drained. I replaced with 3.5 quarts of genuine Nissan fluid. I noticed you indicated in your video that 3.5 quarts came out and your put 4.5 quarts of fluid in. Is there a reason how you came to adding an extra quart compared to what came out or did you mean to say you drained 4.5 quarts; therefore, replaced it exactly by what came out, which would be the 4.5 quarts you put in? Thank you in advance!
I have a 2018 Nissan Sentra SV and will be changing the trans fluid out soon. When I am driving over 65 miles per hour it acts as if it is losing power and the RPMs will drop some then go up and drop some again. I also will be changing the spark plugs. I currently have 91,508 (I know a little late to the changing trans party). What do you think that could be? It doesn't do it all the time and most of the time wants to do it while going up a small hill or so. Just does it on highway.
Quick question... After last step , you drained everything with car on,, even the new 4.5 litters ,,, then you put plug back on,, So now you put another new 4.5 litters, either you missed a step or you waisting 4.5 litters of fluid...
Does your Sentra have a slight whining sound from the CVT only when the shifter is in Park or Neutral? I've watched several of your videos and it seems like I heard it. Mine makes that same sound as well and I've been trying to determine whether it's normal or something to be concerned about. The sound goes away when I shift into Drive or Reverse and it drives fine with no issues. My guess is that it's just belt noise on the variator pulleys when they're freely spinning in Park and Neutral.
@@joshuaababio8124 Have you always noticed that sound or is it something that suddenly started? Mine is still doing it, but it's driving just fine 4,000 miles later since I changed the fluid. Seems like the new fluid may have silenced it slightly. I know now that these Xtronic transmissions have a set of planetary gears in them, so that may be what's actually creating that sound. It may not be anything to be concerned about.
@RadRoger ok so its a 2019 Nissan SV and I got it at an auction with 93,400 miles. I began to notice it after my first engine oil change however drives really fine. I've had it for only 3 months and soon to get the CVT fluid checked and replaced.
I followed every step to the T watched his video multiple times and did the service on my Sentra but it’s chugging as I accelerate what did I do wrong that I didn’t get the same results as he did
Cause he needs to have the right amount of fluid inside the tranny. And there s no dipstick to check, so he does that to make sure you he has enough. And at the same time not to much fluid
That is a good question. No wonder at the beginning he did not have any fluid!!! He just drain it after filling it, lol I think instead of opening the drain plug after filling, he should open the overflow to drain the access amount. I wonder how many people burned their CVT by running it without fluid ...
Question! I had my cvt rebuild at 101k molies, I now have 168k miles and my car goes into limp mode everyday! But it does not reduce power or anything, just the light come on, what your thoughts ? I don’t want to take it to the dealer because they charge about $160 for just a diagnostic
How about gain some social skills and don’t be entitled. Make your own video if you think you can do better. It’s free help and it helped me get the job done.
