A lot of these recommendations boil down to "baby the transmission" which all points to one thing - these transmissions are fragile. And this leads me to conclude the CVT transmissions are crap.

[@edubb2491]

Yep..I own one Honda..its good so far..but if u have to be fragile..like you said..then their crap!

And you would be absolutely right. Basically the drive is through friction. Metal parts rubbing together over time. What could go wrong? The more loaded they are the less they last.

They are fine if you plan on keeping your vehicle until it dies. Otherwise, you take a major hit if you plan on trading it in. Because dealers know the market for manuals is very limited in the US. And don't forget about replacing that clutch at some point. So, it is not all roses with a manual.

However, it doesn't totally make sense as synthetic motor oil automatically comes with additives to keep the engine clean and to meet newer GF-6 requirements (as well as to meet dexos requirements as most oils have also purchased the right to say they are dexos approved oil). The manual is also unclearly worded on whether Nissan oil is a synthetic blend or full synthetic, and I can't find any specs on the oil anywhere. I know that 0W20 is synthetic because it is so thin, and all they sell to consumers say full synthetic. Whether that's true, I don't know. I've heard the term full synthetic may be meaningless.

All the Nissan dealers in my areas are crooks. (Actually, all the car dealers in my area are crooks.) I have the same question: did they change both filters and clean the metal shavings out of the pan? I plan to go at 20,000 miles, but I don't know where to go. My experience with Honda dealers when I had my car was horrific. I know Nissan is just as bad, and the Honda dealer owns all kinds of dealerships for all kinds of cars in the area. But they are all bad. I read Yelp reviews on Nissan which confirmed my idea to stay away from the dealers. Also, what did they give you a seven-year warranty on? The transmission fluid change? (That sounds either meaningless or impossible.) Did you buy the extended warranty when you purchased the car? I imagine the original car warranty is the same as on my Kicks for the transmission: three years and 5 years for the powertrain. There is also a mileage limit, but I never need to worry about that. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I won't face this problem for some time, but I need to prepare ahead for it. I didn't think through my first oil change enough and ended up taking it to a garage in my area who used to work on my Honda and always did work without any problems. My only concern is the brand of the fluids they use (and perhaps the quality of the fluids). However, a retired Nissan engine inventor says use the cheapest oil and filter and change frequently; it is the frequency that counts.
