IN Nissan cars Juke is equipped with CVT models JF015E and JF011E. In any case, regular oil changes are required in the Zhuk variator, since the liquid is filled with wear products and negatively affects all mechanisms. Our special service employees will be able to competently carry out this procedure.

Remember that if problems with the variator such as slippage occur, changing the oil in the Zhuk variator will no longer help, since mechanical wear has begun in the box and repairing the Nissan Zhuk variator is no longer possible.

We recommend changing the oil every 40 thousand kilometers, depending on the operating conditions of the car. Our specialists use the partial replacement method, when the oil is not completely drained. Such an oil change in the Nissan Beetle variator is characterized by a gentle effect on the mechanisms, which is especially important for older cars.

Along with changing the Nissan Beetle oil, the cooler filter is also changed. Internal filter (in pan) and filter fine cleaning are consumables needing a change.

The cost of changing the oil in a variator with work and spare parts for the JF011E variator is 11,720 rubles, JF015E is 12,460 rubles.

The indicated price includes: filter in the pan, pan gasket, fine filter, oil (6 l), cleaner; work on changing the oil and 2 filters, resetting the oil aging sensor.

Changing the oil in a box is a specific procedure that is very difficult to perform on your own. So, for example, for this you need to know when to change the oil in the variator, how much to fill it in, how to set the level correctly

Our auto technicians change the oil in the Nissan Zhuk variator. Many people are interested in the question of how much it costs to change the oil in a variator.

Nowadays, CVT transmissions are becoming especially popular. Their high demand around the world is mainly due to technical progress– this type of transmission is the most modern development.

The Russian market is just beginning to embrace CVT gearboxes - at the moment, not many car owners will be able to say exactly what types of oils need to be used in CVTs, in what volume and after what period of time they need to be replaced. To find out and clarify the answers to the questions posed, it is necessary to take a detailed look at the CVT transmission used in the Nissan Juke.

Features of the Nissan Juke CVT

A CVT gearbox is an important element of the car system, characterized by its use high technology when creating it. This complex type of gearbox allows you to correctly distribute the motor load, while ensuring the most comfortable movement of the vehicle, excluding sharp jerks and failures. In addition to these properties, the CVT is capable of economical fuel consumption.

All Nissan cars have a CVT gearbox, which is produced at the Japanese Jatco plant. This industry provides CVTs to most of the world's car manufacturers, while providing a guarantee for the first 120 thousand kilometers (with an initial resource of 180-200 thousand kilometers). However, this option is only possible if vehicle properly serviced. First of all, this concerns the replacement of the lubricant composition, carried out on time.

For a CVT gearbox, oil starvation can be a disastrous process, since its structural part consists of a large number of moving elements. If their lubrication is not high-quality and timely, friction between parts will increase, which will negatively affect the entire structure as a whole. In addition, correctly selected lubricant can prevent slippage of parts of the gearbox structure. If the oil turns out to be of poor quality and there is not enough lubrication, the operation of the entire gearbox system is disrupted.

Changing the oil in the Nissan Beetle variator can be done either at a specialized point or with your own hands. This procedure is not particularly difficult, and even a driver without special skills can handle it. In addition, most of the information can be found on the Internet, as well as many videos that talk in detail about changing the lubricant in the variator.

According to technical regulations, level oily liquid in the Nissan Juke CVT it is necessary to measure it every 15 thousand kilometers (this corresponds to scheduled maintenance). However, changing the oil in the variator is necessary only in case of emergency, since the manufacturer provides a guarantee for the long service life of the structure and fills the oil in accordance with it.

Despite some technical shortcomings, CVT gearboxes are considered to be the most reliable types of gearboxes in comparison with automatic transmission. However, over time, negative changes may occur in the operation of the gearbox - they will indicate that the gearbox needs to replace the transmission fluid. It is especially worth paying attention to:

• Vehicle slipping;
• Uncharacteristic vibrations of the gearbox;
• Deterioration of vehicle power;
• Deterioration of gear shifting.
• In cases where such factors appear periodically, it is worth thinking about changing the transmission fluid.

The process of replacing transmission fluid in a Nissan Juke gearbox

Lubricant volume in Nissan gearbox Juke is 3 liters. This volume is quite sufficient to prevent oil starvation of the engine. When changing the lubricant, you can also take care of updating the filter, since a dirty filter element creates certain problems for the correct distribution of the oil fluid.

To begin the process of changing transmission lubricant, you need to decide what kind of oil you will need for the job. For Nissan Juke the best option will be original lubricating fluid Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2. It has high lubricating properties and prevents the box from malfunctioning. For the full volume, two canisters will be enough.

To successfully change the oil in the variator, you should prepare the following tools:

• Wrenches;
• Screwdriver;
• Container for draining waste material;
• Rags;
• Syringe (or funnel);
• Gasket for gearbox pan.

The process of changing the oil in a CVT gearbox is as follows:

1. First of all, you need to install the car on an overpass or above an inspection hole to provide access to the variator;
2. Next, you need to carefully unscrew the tray cover;
3. The next stage is removing the old waste fluid;
4. Afterwards, you need to remove the container with used oil and screw in the cap;
5. The next step is to open the hood to find the filler hole;
6. Add oil and then check its level;
7. Start the engine and let it run for several minutes, periodically changing gears;
8. Subsequently, you need to check the oil level again and, if necessary, add fluid.

Afterwards, you need to make a short trip, and then check the oil in the variator again. Next, you should periodically check its level to avoid oil starvation.

Just like any other component automotive system, the Nissan CVT needs regular maintenance, which consists, first of all, of timely oil changes. You can replace the fluid yourself, but you will have to carefully prepare for this.

CVT maintenance

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a high-tech component of an automobile system. It has a rather complex structure and performs important function: correctly distributes the load on the engine, ensuring comfortable movement, without jerks and dips, as well as fuel economy.

Nissan cars are equipped with CVTs from the Japanese plant Jatco, which produces CVTs for almost everyone car brands in the world. The Jatco factory warranty is 120 thousand km, and real resource units reaches 150-200 thousand km. This is only possible if the device is properly maintained, mainly - timely replacement oils

Oil starvation is the main enemy of the variator. Its design contains many moving parts that require high-quality lubricant, reducing friction. In addition, specialized variator oil prevents slippage of gearbox elements. If the lubricant is insufficient or of poor quality, the operation of the unit is disrupted.

How often should you change your oil?

Oil changes in Nissan CVTs are usually performed as part of a scheduled maintenance cars It follows from the maintenance regulations that the fluid in the gearbox must be changed every 60 thousand kilometers. However, we recommend replacing it more often - after 25-30 thousand km.

It is almost impossible to independently determine the level and quality of the transmission fluid, since the CVT transmission does not have a corresponding dipstick. Therefore, the most reliable way is to count the mileage. As soon as the mileage traveled reaches 30 thousand km, it is worth going to the store and buying oil for the Nissan variator.

Oil selection

As already mentioned, the lubricating fluid in the CVT box performs another function - it prevents slipping of working parts. Therefore, a special synthetic oil has been developed specifically for CVTs.

The Nissan automobile plant produces branded products for its cars, which are recommended for use in various models auto: NS-1, NS-2, NS-3. The number in the name indicates the generation of the liquid (first, second, third).

In auto parts catalogs, these products are presented under the following article numbers:

Manufacturer	Part number	Part name
Nissan	Kle5000004	CVT transmission oil for variators NS-1 4l
Nissan	Kle5200004	Transmission fluid CVT FLUID NS-2 mineral, JP 4L
Nissan	Ke90899931R	Transmission fluid N-CVT AT-MATIC D FLUID JP 1L
Nissan	999MP-NS200P	Transmission oil NISSAN CVT NS-2 1L
Nissan	Ke90999943	Transmission oil NS3 5L EU
Nissan	Kle5300004	Nissan cvt fluid ns-3 4 l (replacement for NS1 and NS2)

Before you buy oil for a Nissan variator, you should find out what kind of liquid is poured into it. The manufacturer strongly does not recommend mixing different types products because they are not interchangeable.

If you are in doubt about what kind of oil to pour into a Nissan CVT, the optimal solution is NS-2. This fluid is applicable in Nissan Juke, Qashqai, Teana, X-Trail and others.

Instructions for changing the oil in the variator

In order to completely replace transmission fluid, you may need up to 10 liters of new oil. During operation, it is recommended to use a diagnostic tool (to measure the temperature of the working fluid and reset the counter indicating its condition).

How to change the oil in a Nissan variator yourself:

1. Having measured operating temperature fluid, remove the plug and drain the old oil.
2. Install the plug and pour new liquid in a volume of 3 liters through the control hole.
3. After installing the control plug, start the engine and engage all gears in sequence for about 5 seconds.
4. After the working fluid has completely warmed up, the engine is stopped and then the washing procedure is repeated.
5. Fill in new 3 liters of oil, change gears with the engine running, and then unscrew the control plug to drain excess fluid.
6. If the liquid does not flow out, add 0.5 liters of oil.
7. Reset the meter readings using diagnostic equipment.

Do I need to change the oil in the variator?

The policy of routine maintenance has long been an ambiguous situation. Jatco requires periodic oil changes in its CVTs, and automakers often claim that the fluid is designed to last the entire service life of the units. On this issue, representatives of dealerships and independent technical centers are unanimous: the oil needs to be updated. Jatco recommends doing this every 60,000 km under normal operating conditions, and even shortening this interval under severe operating conditions. This approach is guaranteed to extend the resource.

Jatco CVTs use two oil filters. When changing the oil, just rinse the coarse filter located in the sump. Depending on the variator model, a disposable fine paper filter is located in a mounted heat exchanger or in a separate housing at the end of the unit. Service technicians advise using only original oil. All Jatco CVTs are very sensitive to the inevitable mixing of fluids with different additive packages. When the variator begins to mope (jerks, kicks appear, acceleration dynamics drop), it is useless to change the oil in it in the hope of correcting the situation. Typically, such symptoms indicate significant mechanical wear of the elements and the need for repair. At the same time, all sorts of emergency modes CVTs are activated when things are getting really bad (for example, the belt starts slipping). It is important not to delay your visit to the service. Timely treatment sometimes significantly reduces the final cost of repairs, since some elements can be saved.

ADDITIONALLY
Question on this topic to the editor of the magazine "Behind the Wheel":

I read that the oil in the variator needs to be changed after 50 thousand kilometers. But many publications say that the variator is filled with it for its entire service life. Nothing is said in the instructions either. So where is the truth?

Specific auto giants claim that the oil in CVTs is filled for the entire service life and does not require replacement. This is nothing more than a marketing ploy. At the same time, manufacturers themselves often stipulate in the maintenance regulations that the oil in CVTs should be updated when harsh conditions operation, which includes everyday driving in major cities. Moreover, automakers often disagree even when the same variator is installed on different cars. To ensure that the service life of the variator is guaranteed, it is better to play it safe and give it a “blood transfusion” every 50,000-60,000 km.

How much oil is in the variator and what kind to fill:

8.5 l., Branded NISSAN fluid CVT Fluid NS-2

Checking the fluid level

It is necessary to check the level of working fluid in the variator after warming up to 50~80’C. The procedure for checking the fluid level is as follows:

1. Check for leaks.

2. After warming up the engine, drive the car around the city. If the temperature environment is 20 °C, it will take about ten minutes to working fluid the variator warmed up to 50~80 ̊C.

3. Place the car on a level surface.

4. Apply the parking brake securely.

5. When running on idle speed engine, pressing the brake pedal, move the selector lever through all positions.

6. Press the latch and remove the dipstick from the variator filling pipe.

7. Remove the working fluid from the variator dipstick. Insert the dipstick by turning it 180° from the original installation position, then push it all the way into the variator filling pipe.

To wipe the variator dipstick, use only fiber-free paper. Do not use rags.

8. Place the selector lever in position P or N and make sure that the fluid level is within the specified range.

When installing the variator dipstick in place, insert it into the filling pipe until it locks, turning it to its original position.

Checking the condition of the working fluid

Check the condition of the variator fluid.

If the CVT fluid is very dark or has a burnt odor, check the operation of the CVT. After repairing the variator, flush the cooling system.

If the variator fluid contains wear particles (clutches, brakes, etc.), after repairing the variator, replace the radiator, rinse the cooling system lines with a cleaning agent and blow with compressed air.

Liquid condition	Cause	Relevant procedure
Varnish-like (viscous state)	Change chemical composition liquids due to exposure to high temperatures	Replace the variator fluid and check the transmission control unit and the vehicle for faults (wiring harnesses, cooling system pipes, etc.)
Milky white or cloudy	Water in working fluid	Replace the variator fluid and check where water may have entered the variator fluid
With a lot of metal particles	Excessive wear of friction surfaces	Replace working fluid automatic transmission gears and check the functioning of the variator

Replacing the working fluid

At the final stage of replacing the variator fluid, it is necessary to replace the plug gasket drain hole new.

1. Remove the drain plug and drain the CVT fluid from the CVT oil pan.

2. Reinstall the drain plug and tighten to 34.3 Nm.

Do not reuse the drain plug gasket.

3. Fill the variator fluid through the filling pipe to the required level.

Use only original liquid For NISSAN CVT CVT Fluid NS-2. Do not mix different types of liquids.

The use of any other liquids will adversely affect operational indicators variator and may cause its failure, which is not covered by warranty.

When filling the variator fluid, be careful not to get burned on the hot parts of the exhaust system.

Before refueling, shake the container with the variator fluid well.

After replacing the variator working fluid, it is necessary to remove data on contamination of the working fluid from the memory of the self-diagnostic module using the CONSULT-III device.

4. After warming up the engine, drive the car in city conditions. If the ambient temperature is 20 ̊C, the trip will take about ten minutes to warm up the variator to 50~80 ̊C.

5. Check the level and condition of the variator fluid.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 if the CVT fluid is dirty.
