2013 - 2016 Nissan Pathfinder Transmission Fluid Change

[@xlightssx]

The car needs to be idling & warm when unbolting the fluid level plug (when checking the fluid level). The fluid should be a very thin fine stream when coming out. Not dripping like on the video. If its dripping add a half of quart more, cycle the gears and recheck.

Need change filter.

[@l.a.ramslvr3143]

Tip, from a good source, always, always remove or loosen the fill plug first, if the fill plug is ceased or stuck to the pan and you happen to strip it out while removing it after you have drained the oil, you will not be able to refill the pan with fresh oil or your car will be non-operational until you figure a way to remove your fill plug to add new oil. Also, it is recommended that the transmission oil is drained at running temperature, drive the car for 15-20 minutes and let idle for another 2-5 minutes, let it cool down for a few minutes then drain.

These cvts have a recall so you could go to dealer and he’ll put a new one. For the dipstick just bend that piece of metal the plastic cap will work fine after wards. You need to drain the oil from the 19mm plug and put back 3.5 litres CVT oil. Don’t play with the overflow or filter and gaskets etc as the filter is not under pressure to replace it like in engine oil filters. And the washer on the plug is re-usable you don’t need to spend lots of money 2014-17 pathfinders are cheap now to resale. The dealer does not change filters or gaskets etc . 15-20 mins job. Thanks

[@lundyracing]

Recall is expired.

Thanks for helping me removing the dipstick

[@adezulfikar5115]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching

[@carloscuevas5658]

Great video

[@aamirqat957]

Awesome job thanks for you’re effort some one inform me there is filter you need to change filter

[@microbhai]

There is but when I asked Nissan dealer they said they only do drain and refill, no filter change. I think I will change the filters after 120k.

[@stevespeed2000]

Love your video, how much degrees should the CVT temp be at, when checking the CVT fluid on a 2014 Nissan Rogue SV AWD?

[@babyproductions5523]

104-115

[@elijahturner7189]

So this method should work on 2013 JX35. Infiniti wants $300 just to check the transmission fluid. I have 180k on car, of which I put 60k (car used and purchased from an Infiniti dealer). Having put 60k, do you think its time to change out transmission fluid?

[@alexsaa2116]

Yes it’s every 60k buddy

[@adriandelgado9363]

Had question did u ever change the transmission filter by chance? I have a 2016 pathfinder

[@mohammadyunusbinabdullah3415]

@Aidan Bhuiyan how many litres need to fill

[@eldnahym]

Did half a quart drain out of the overfill after you refilled or did you only put 3 and a half quarts in and not the whole 4 quarts?

[@juanlainez49]

the correct measurement is 4 quarts and 250 ml

[@wnduffy]

Without ODB temp how did you make sure temp @113 as recommended?

[@peted7687]

You run the car about 15 minutes or so. Its the closest thing to that temperture

[@rrmorris67]

You can buy an accurate temperature gun for cheap on amazon. Aim the laser right at the drain bolt

[@HomieTez]

I Think Someone Else Asked The Same Question 🤔But,you’re Not Going To Change The Filter?

[@us-nic6121]

Hi, thanks for the video. Both plugs are Reverse-Thread Bolts? Thank you.

[@adezulfikar5115]

No, I was using front camera on my phone, so it looked like reverse direction

@@adezulfikar5115 thanks for answering.... I was just now worried about applying too much pressure trying to break an initial grip and stripping threads!

[@mahzron]

You the man bruh appreciate you I can now do it myself

[@johnang9054]

wait, you loose the drain plug clockwise? not the regular counter-clockwise?

[@julianp7851]

Yeah, seemed odd. Like I was watching in reverse.

[@malikammar8404]

@adezulfikar5115 ... You drain 3.2 why you fill 4 quart?

[@AlammBoost]

How many quarters for Nissan Pathfinder 2013?

[@FriendlingIlocano]

I have 2018 pathfinder. U only need 4 quarts ? I need to chance mine. In the dealer they estimated me $350 for that.

[@fryadahmed]

Why the video is mirrored?

[@microbhai]

I know, he was tightening the bolts anti clockwise.

[@csinalabama]

Is the 2017 Pathfinder different?

[@NorCalOutdoor]

Should be the same

[@dlinni2000]

What about the filter???

[@chrisd1328]

Is that the first time you've used a ratchet wrench?

[@krlosmirres582]

Porque el no cambio el filtro de carton

[@Dexion845]

Wow that oil was Black like the night, how many miles were on this thing I wonder.

[@ultraciao]

60k miles he said

[@ekosystemy]

Thats AWD or FWD

[@jerryding2359]

I think your car needs to be running while checking the level.

[@tsperna]

Okay and and what do we do with it

[@deroso3294]

Most cities have a collection place for chemicals/fluids and it’s usually free. Also many of the major stores will take it too, like: O’Reilly, advanced auto, autozone. It’s also usually free or very cheap to bring it there.

[@MiamiBomber]

What was the bolt you removed/installed at the very end

[@microbhai]

overflow valve

[@Shahsyed145]

How much total quarts need to refill

[@jpescolastico7121]

Hello, thanks for the video, just want to ask, i have a 2013 pathfinder, i got it when it only has 19k miles now it has 103k, can i still do this method? I tried asking the dealer to replace the cvt fluid but none of them wants to do it, they told me to leave it alone because of the amout of miles and the car is old, they alao told me that if the cvt fluid has not been change since they dont advice changing it at this time, i really need any input in this.

[@c00lhand208]

Sounds like terrible advice. Go to a reputable Nissan dealership

[@mirandabri834]

Don't listen to that advice friend. That's not true; however the Longer you wait the condition could get worse and probably will. That being said just make Sure if You do it yourself that the car is level at both ends and pull your overfill plug at the recommended temperature(s) then whenever you drain it, Make SURE YOU MEASURE IT EXACTLY SO whenever you put the new back in it is the SAME EXACT AMOUNT, OR AT LEAST VERY CLOSE! Then run it to the recommended temperature again and this time shift it through all the gears from park down through all of them and back and forth about 5 to 8 times and just do it how you normally shift it.....(not like speed racer) then with it at temperature and running--(on) go underneath it once more and open the overfill plug and see if it has a steady slow flow and if so then your Fine--- close it up with the plug then your done! Now as you drive it around, listen for Anything abnormal or if it is shifting weird and if so and your Not getting any check engine lights on then take it home or to a garage and check your overfill to make Sure it's not too much or to little as described above! Take care and God bless.

[@jackhazz5777]

Actually, some mechanics advice that if it went too long for you to change the tranny fluid, they do advice to just keep it as is. Their reason to that is that if you flush the transmission fluid at this point, the old shavings and varnish might get disturbed by the flushing and float with the new fluid and might clog the tranny. But I have no experience in this, just telling you what they say. I always have my tranny fluid replaced every 50k miles.

[@fat5574]

Aidan Bhuiyan my Truck is stalling do I need to add trans fluid to it

[@farouqiamin7894]

Ignore the owners manual and the dealership advice, these CVT fluid should change imo roughly every 30,000 miles, they get filthy, also drop the pan clean the magnets and replace the filter and gasket, you will save the life of your CVT

[@arminperaltamarcos2424]

Una consulta por que solo lleva el taponsito y no hací mas la espadita de medir el aceite es que tengo un nissan murano 2016 y tampoco lleva la varilla de medición de aceite solo su taponsito nomas 😔✌️

[@juanlainez49]

Su auto lleva 4 cuartos y 100 ml

[@LUCKYGUYPUMPING]

THATS WRONG ,, car needs to be on when you remove that overfill plug at around 110 deg

[@mirandabri834]

Plus he drained out ONLY 3.2 QUARTS BUT PUT 4 QUARTS BACK IN 😒....... lol I wonder if his car is still running ?

[@yedi015]

@@mirandabri834 this is the first time I'm doing it so simple question if the overflow work properly shouldn't the other 8 quarts come out of there since he took 3.2 out? Unless I'm guessing the transmission burn some of it and he was low

[@Go2Sleep911]

Are the drain bolts left hand threads? it looks like it in the video

[@stevestone1158]

That’s what I was wondering. I see in other comments now that he was using front camera which reverses image. It is a standard thread and counter clockwise to remove.

[@Go2Sleep911]

@@stevestone1158 yeah i just did this service myself and they are normal threads the camera work was just mirror images.
