Nissan Leaf Reduction Gear ATF Change [Efficiency boost!]

[@bobbbobb4663]

For those interested, I did this fluid swap on a 2015 Leaf about a year ago using Amsoil Synthetic ATF. Went from 4.6 mi/kWh to 4.9 mi/kWh.

[@daltonx6177]

In warm or cold weather?

[@bobbbobb4663]

@@daltonx6177 IIRC I probably did that fluid swap in warm weather.

[@extragoode]

I did this fluid swap on a 2013 Leaf a little late, I had over 120k km on it, with Valvoline ULV ATF in July of 22 and went from a yearly average of 5.8 km/kWh to 6.6 mi/kWh. There/s a small clunk noise from the reduction gear when changing forward and reverse if it's warm because the fluid is so thin, but has been fine for 19k km.

[@rubiconklbrutorowman7577]

thanks 4 sharing with us!

[@sanoj1969]

Very interesting. I just bought a old Leaf. This car has under 50000 km on the clock. It is good looking both outside and inside. Battery health seems too be good also. I have seen many,many videos here on KZbin about this model. My thought goes to the possibility to make a battery change on it. But doesn’t know if any company here I Sweden do it? Or if I could do it myself maybe? Okey, have a great day.

[@themiddleground5263]

My local mechanic “doesn’t work on EVs“ when the “transmission” is involved, so I did this myself thanks to you, Dala!

[@EVguru]

The Aluminium crush washers can be re-used at least once, but should be annealed to soften them first. The trick is to mark them with black or blue Sharpie marker and then heat them until the Sharpie colour fades. Quenching makes no difference to the annealing.

[@DalasEVRepair]

Good tip! I'll revisit the fluid change next year and see how it is holding up, maybe even try lower viscosity valvoline ULV

[@RajGiandeep]

Did this a couple days ago. Very easy process. What I've noticed after. Is takes a little less energy to stay at cruising speeds. Will see if the miles per kilowatt improves

[@daltonx6177]

So ? Did you measure any improvement after one year ?

[@RajGiandeep]

@@daltonx6177 I noticed it more when it was very cold. Could I measure it, not really. Just felt a bit smoother at cold "starts". But the oil that drained out vs what I put in was an upgrade.

[@terryvincent8405]

Ive done this service on both my 11 and 18 LEAF. if its never been done get it done....the fluid gets super nasty and laden with metal particles from the gears. mine looked like sparkly black oil on the 18 after only 20,000 miles. I used Amsoil ATF. Great video Dala!

[@rjmosko]

Just changed the fluid on our 2013 Leaf with 85k miles on it. I was surprised how clean the fluid still was- it was still pink and this was first change. This video made the process pretty easy. I agree with the others in that the splash shield is hardest part of process in many ways. My splash shield was damaged with some tears that I repaired using some Gorilla tape. My tips are: 1. Use a long neck funnel if your existing funnel with hose doesn't reach. Mine did not so I was able to snake the funnel with hose closer to the fill plug and then use another funnel to reach that one. That worked fine and saved me a trip to buy a different funnel with hose. 2. oil your splash screen screws to reduce chances of rust- an easy thing to do 3. on the splash shield reinstall is to start from the rear because the shield folds in under the other shield. I did not do this initially and had to remove all the other fasteners and do again. I also used the Redline D6 as well. I'm a big Redline fan so that was an easy decision to go the Redline route. My total service time was about 2 hours- I got to talking with the neighbor and had the length issue with my original funnel with hose that needed resolution.

[@vampireechidna]

I've only ever done this on a manual gearbox, never would have thought the differential on Leaf would have oil, but logically it would. Thank you for this informative video. Very useful.

[@matroosoft4589]

Love this Leaf DIY service videos, keep up the good work!

[@donsutherland5706]

I watched this very helpful video and changed my oil yesterday. My 2015 Leaf has a third port on top of the gear case. I used the top port to add the oil, but you need a 10 mm hex bit socket, a universal drive and a couple of long extensions to get to it. For most people, the method in the video would be easiest. He mentions that his brakes might need attention. You can test for brake drag by stopping your car at a landmark on a slight hill leading to a flat section of road. With the car in neutral, release the brake and note how far the car coasts before it stops (a tree, driveway, utility pole, etc.). Do a baseline run after brake service and then every couple of months. Any loss of distance will indicate there is brake drag or possibly an underinflated tire or a bad bearing. The parking brake might need adjustment, too.

[@bradjohnston9810]

how do you put the Leaf in Neutral?

[@donsutherland5706]

@@bradjohnston9810 Move the shifter to the left and hold it there for a second or two. It's the same as shifting into forward or reverse except you don't move the shifter forward or backwards.

What a coincidence! I just replaced it yesterday. A thing to mention, for 2011-2012 made LEAF oil capacity is only 1.1 Liter. I have also used some Molyslip additive. I was geting very good results in ICE vehicles by using Molyslip additives. So decided it won't hurt if I use it on my LEAF either.

[@tucsonor]

Me too, added molyslip 5 years ago when I changed the fluid at 60.000km Now the car have 170.000 so should have made a change agiain, but I believe with the molyslip additive, MoS2, it is not needed.

@@tucsonor I've already re greased the slides and sanded down the pads, and at that point I tried pushing in the pistons and was hard to do. I think I was the first to flush the brakes.

[@macmaniacal]

@@tucsonor oh I just found out that the up to 2013 had dual piston calipers. 14+ had single. I wonder why the change. Pistons returned easier on the singles? My brakes also tend to grab a little at creep transition speeds

[@tucsonor]

Pushing the pistons back in and out again will for sure not hurt. My experience with grabbing at creeping speed is that the pads and pins do not move freely. But of cource, if piston have sticked to the seal, you would probeby get the same effect.

Hello I recommend you watch Kate and James's video on the MG5 that they are test driving while they are servicing other electric cars one of them is a Nissan leaf oil change on the reduction gearbox .... If you watch that you will quickly want to change the oil in your Nissan leaf.... When you do can you please let me know what condition you found your oil in 😉

[@Alhumdullullah]

Thank you sir' I am a Nissan leaf owner, and I completely forgot about gear oil changes, I used to do this on any automatic petrol car I owned previously, Here is the UK, there is an unfortunate trend, it's called rip-off Britain, many services and items are far too expensive especially when they have the monopoly, I therefore try to do most things myself, thanks again for this valuable knowledge

[@DalasEVRepair]

Good thing to DIY this one! Good luck!

[@softwaresignals]

In the UK, a fellow writing into mynissanleaf.com said it costs 230 British pounds ($321 U.S. dollars) to get it done. In the U.S., I think a Nissan dealership will charge around $70 U.S. dollars. Thing is, in the U.K., they are just going to keep people away with prices like that. Even the $70 U.S. cost is too much in my opinion. This is an EASY job, and only 2 quarts of ATF fluid, 2 new aluminum crush washers, and 15 minutes labor. I've done mine and am about to do it once more.

Yes! Aluminium and copper in contact will experience slight galvanic corrosion. How much depends on how often it gets wet/whether it is salt water etc. Since the leaf motor compartment is covered with protective plastic, you should be fine. But Alu is the correct replacement!

Thanks for the video!

There was none. So perhaps leaking at the fill bolt hole is slightly overfilling?

ZE0 and AZE0 have slightly different capacities. Never hurts to fill until it overflows!

A cheaper alternative is "Castrol Syntrans V FE", I use 75W-80 and It is rated as GL-4+, still contains a small amount of Sulfur, so no danger to any brass bushings. IT has friction reduceres and a carefull Guess, I Think I'm saving 2-2.5%. Another thing while you have the car off the grounds: check the wheel bearings. What is deemed good enough for a gasoline car, is worth improving. Take the bearings out and clean Them and then use Lithium Grease for bicycles. Then when you reassemble the hub, torque IT slightly less than the workshop manual Says, as initial torque is for new bearings, which need to seat. I use 90 Nm, and my not driven wheels spin for 40 seconds by hand! I do check my wheels off the ground twice a year and change Grease every year, and so far No surprises! Where this really makes a difference is in city driving, where Rolling resistance, is 3/4 of your drag. I can push the car with a single finger before the gearbox catches Up the slack, stopped on the Edge of a painted road stripe, the car Rolls off! My average current Went from 11A going around town to 7A, so my city Range is now Better than going 70kmh, which used to be where I got best Range.

@@macmaniacal Sorry, not talking about a Leaf, but I could pry the front bearings apart enough to clean Them out with kerosene, and then massage new Grease through the crack. And drive axle bearings, can't be seperated and need to be pressed out, so They need to have the seal removed to regrease.

No, but lower cSt = higher efficiency

Hi Daniel, is this tutorial also applicable to the ZE1?

[@DalasEVRepair]

Yes!

is there a way to turn off that dorky "EEENG EEEENG EEENG" that the leaf produces when reverse? I hate it. I just bought a leaf but I assume to be able to disable it. then later did not succeed. :(

[@DalasEVRepair]

On 2011-2021 leafs it can be done with Leafspy Pro. 2022-2023 are locked.

@@DalasEVRepair I will look into it. hopefully it's not expensive.

Is D6 ATF suitable for LEAF 2 2019 ?

[@DalasEVRepair]

Yes, but Valvoline ULV performs better

Is this the same as a transmission fluid swap?

[@DalasEVRepair]

Yup!

[@Halbwertszeit_ueberschritten]

What about the differential? This requires an oil that can handle high shear forces. An ATF oil cannot do that. I had a case with a Mercedes w126 ATF oil was also filled into the differential. After a few 100 km the differential was completely over.

[@DalasEVRepair]

The reduction gearcase also contains the differential. See this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gma6mXVtqrZ_sLs

[@Halbwertszeit_ueberschritten]

@@DalasEVRepair this is the problem

[@rogersipinen2424]

@@Halbwertszeit_ueberschritten are you thinking about a hypoid gear reduction like in a reardrive differential? The Leaf, like most frontdrive vehicles, doesn't have that setup nor require EP additives.

What size hose you use brother.

4-8mm dia should work fine
