2015 Nissan Versa Note Transmission Fluid & Filter Change[Transmission Issue Solved]

In this video you will be watching of how to replace or change the transmission filter & fluid for 2015 Nissan Versa Note cvt transmission

[@sabrom]

what about the cone shaped yellow control valve filter that is with the kit?

[@davebloggs]

OK I have to say plenty on this video. firstly the filters in these transmissions are a fine stainless mesh and do not need cleaning or replacing, secondly you spilt so much oil because you did not drain it correctly, if you noticed when you pulled the plug very little came out that is because you did not remove the spill height adjustment tube which is just inside the removed drain plug hole, The one 10mm bolt that you cross threaded near the drain plug needs fixing. The filler port and short dipstick as you showed in the video serves no purpose at all and should never be used to fill the transmission. what you actually do is fill with the special tool from under neath , then you remove the special tool warm the transmission to over 43 deg C then remove the drain plug until the oil level stops dripping from the height calibration tube. never use any other oil other than the Nissan NS3 oil and over or under filling this transmission even by a fairly small amount can cause serious problems. By all means make videos im all for that but I can tell you that this is no where close to how you actually do that job.

If you didn't follow this instructions what Dave explained, you will not be a best mechanic ever in your life. Thanks Dave!

@@davebloggs you just save my customer some bucks seriously, because i told him to go and buy the filter and the gasket and I believe he won't able to find it in the market more specific the filter since it don't need to be replaced, Dave! What is your advise incase we can't find the gasket? I believe it is not recommended to use silicone, what can I do in this case?

[@davebloggs]

@@paulusgeorge7541 you dont really need to remove the pan at all. I would not recommend it unless you have a very clean area to work, make sure you use Nissan NS3 oil only not aftermarket , other than that its very easy, and as you say never use silicone on any cvt or automatic transmissions.

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

First of all this is a customer car he want me to clean the filter and put a cvt fluid by his own choice meaning he bought the fluid..im no expert on nissan cvt transmission but i guarantee u i did open more cvt trransmission than u and rebuilt it ..No offense to you i will continue what i do im not saying this is the perfect procedure but hey i did save a lot of customer out there that dealership qouting a transmission job that more that the price of there car...

[@MrMasterFlash]

Does it also have a filter o the side of the transmission that you to from the driver's side wheel well? ? When I look it up it shows me both the sump filter and the other one.

[@808breaksbad]

Agreed. From what I've researched, the sump filter doesn't have to be replaced but the cardboard cartridge filter on the side of the transmission should be changed. And you can only get to it by taking off the driver's side tire and fender splash guard.

[@bobeeshc2166]

When removing the drain plug there is another straw tube that needs to be removed to drain all of the fluid. Once you refill the transmission and run the vehicle thru the gears you need to reopen the drain plug and any extra fluid will drain out. Once it starts dripping put the plug back in place. The straw that's Above the drain plug is how you check the level. If you open the drain plug and nothing comes out that means the fluid level is below the top of the straw opening. Read the directions on how to do this. I feel bad for this customer. If you over fill this transmission it will turn to safe mode and stop working.

[@deniscleary13]

I agree with you sleeping sounds... and the levels must be checked with the transmission warmed up to the correct temperature and while running 👍 if this is how it's done at Nissan dealership then I'm not surprised transmissions are failing 🙄

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

@@deniscleary13 we drop the tranny pan almost 90% of the fluid is drain i know how much is the fluid capacity of this transmission ..yup u can check the oil while its warm but in reality when u warm up ur car oil will always exceed the warm level trust me my friend ..This is more close to accurate than checking the level when ur car is warm but again u can do that too im not saying its wrong but i prefer this method and i did save a lot of nissan versa owner with cvt transmission by doing this im not gonna argue with u .If u prefer doing that then so be it anyway i made this video of how to clean ur transmission filter ok...

[@KeyserSozeDH]

You skipped showing what you did after taking out the battery.. very thorough.

[@pearlrival3124]

so the baby dipstick shouldnt have fluid on it? seems like there should be a way to measure it. no way the service department isnt measuring the fluid level after a service. sometimes they come in dry in that scenario it must be measured.

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

In case of any doubt you can always go the dealership and ask or call them cuz thats what i do and luckily i had few workmate overthere whom i can ask and they can check there system for me for accurate fluid quantity for nissan cars

[@pearlrival3124]

@@asianmechanicguy6483 after alot of research your channel included it appears there is a bolt that you remove after the engine is warm and once the fluid stops coming out or close to it you are at the proper level. similar to a transfer case or rear end. correct me if im wrong or let me know if you agree. i avoided dropping the pan. maybe next time. having the vehicle level is also critical. i did the work by removing the tire instead of the battery mainly because you need to run the car to determine proper level. it also gives you access to the bolt that shows fill level.

[@bwink23]

Shouldn't the dipstick be used to measure the level?

[@pearlrival3124]

@@bwink23 there isnt a dipstick on newer vehicles. companies are trying to prevent us from servicing transmissions. best thing to do for this car is take the tire and fender-well off so you can see the transmission.

[@bwink23]

@@pearlrival3124 Yeah I just found that out. there is a cap on top that has a baby dipstick that isn't used. I saw another video where the guy removed dipstick tube from the top of the tranny and it was full. So I used a piece of wire and marked off where the top of the tranny is to the top of the dipstick tube, and that is the "Full" line when cold. I essentially just made a "dummy" dipstick to let me know where the fill line is, when cold.

[@ptolalibertad]

Never changed my filter.. Just drain and fill.. 200,000 miles and still going

[@VM-oi3dk]

My mechanic told me he had to take the engine out to change the transmission fluid. I don’t see that happening here. He didn’t charge me too much higher than the average cost.

[@kingstonsean]

So, you weren't surprised when you got only a litre of fluid when you removed the drain plug? And, are you sure that putting back the same amount that came out is the best practice? Seems to me you should be looking up the specs to see what it really requires.

[@totoy7224]

he put 4 quarts not a liter and he explain it why..

[@osu33089]

There is likely a fill procedure that requires a particular operating temperature and fill to the point that no more liquid comes out with tube inside of the drain hole.

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

@@osu33089 i dont go with that procedure why because as soon u start the car fluid will be suck upward when u turn off the car fluid will slowy going down by the time u open the first drain plug no oil will drip so u will thought u need more oil honestly is is a very tricky and bad design of nissan im not against with nissan but as for me i go with the quantity..but again im not saying thats a wrong method

[@trialnterror]

You take the plug out then you use an Allen key thru the drain plug hole to remove that. When you remove the Allen bolt it’ll drain your fluid. Put back once done. Measure what you took out and then you can change the strainer and the filter. Put the pan on and fill what you took out. Turn on car to operating temperature take the 19mm plug out and fill until you have a little coming out. Your done .

I was told that I should change my transmission fluid every 30,000 miles…. Would that be correct?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

yup thats correct but its better if earlier

[@Nick-mu9nx]

The the drain plug has a level tube. undo the drain plug but leave the level tube in, fill the Gear box up with oil the moment it leaks out of the drain plug the level is correct. Also when drain the oil you remove the drain plug first, in theory no oil should come out. Then you remove the level tube this will drain the fluid. No need to remove the sump pan

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

this is transmission filter change this is not a drain and fill so why would you make it complicated by removing two drain plug wherein u can only remove one and come worst u might even break the second plug because its plastic

[@seansmith9134]

this is NOT the correct way to service a CVT transmission in a 2015 versa note! you can't just replace what you take out due to the fact that if you are even slightly over or slightly under the required fluid amount the running pressures will change causing the transition to slip or sustain permanent damage! there are videos here on YT that illustrate the correct procedure which involves running the vehicle until operating temperature is reached, loading up the draining off the access fluid!

This service isn't necessary. That "filter" in the pan is just a pickup/screen. The filter is on the side of the transmission (which you failed to replace). Pan removal is only necessary if you need to remove the valve body for some reason. @4:15... That won't happen if you use a 5mm Allen to pull out the fill level tube after you remove the drain plug. @10:45... Don't use the amount of fluid removed as a gauge for the correct level. You're assuming the fluid was at the correct level before the service, which it might not be. Put 4 quarts in, then remove the drain plug. If no fluid comes out, add more until it does. Then start the car and get it up to operating temp. Put the drain plug back in when the fluid drips out one drop every 3 seconds. The car must be level, not jacked up in the front, when setting the fluid level. If you're going to claim to be a mechanic, do some research before you service a car. You did this job all wrong. You didn't change the filter and you didn't know how to set the fluid level.
