Scotty boss . I have 2017 Honda civic si !! Should I use a premium fuel as recommended by the manufacturer or regular fuel .

[@garyangelstad5212]

Hey Scotty. We have a 2010 sentra ser with the 2.5 ltr and the cvt and I do have to admit it does some weird shifting sometimes. I find there is a better way to drive a car with a cvt. I know it seems weird but I find that if you ease up on the gas pedal you get way better performance out of it. I found that in city traffic with slight pedal pressure instead of mashing it to the floor the car accelerates way better. I think it's the best setup for passing and easiest on the vehicle. I have no problem getting way ahead of the traffic in a short time using this method. I tried mashing it when we first bought it and was disappointed with the overall performance. So I tried pushing it down maybe an inch and it took right off with very little strain on the engine. Seems counterintuitive, not hearing the engine screaming like the old automatics. It doesn't take long and you're flying past everyone. Maybe it comes from riding around on snowmobiles as a kid(same theory in a cvt). I don't know if it's the combination of the larger 4 cylinder engine with that tyranny or if the 2 ltr engine works similar but I have never owned anything that passes as fast as that does using this driving method. Not a standard or a typical 3 or4 spd auto and it's so effortless. I never mash the throttle with the general lack of quality and expense of repair. Next time you have the opportunity give it a go. Maybe just like changing from a typical auto trans to a standard takes some rethinking maybe going to this type take some rethinking aswell

[@Diemerstein]

2013 Nissan Murano driving and looking like it was new. This whole CVT issue that some people have is the result of not changing the CVT transmission fluid, it needs to be changed every 2 years or 30k miles. As a mechanic of over 50 years, Scotty should have added this information to this video.

[@JS-qi1ou]

Well Scotty is a mechanic so he wouldn't recommend anything that is more costly to repair/replace. Plus I've never actually seen anyone repair a CVT trans they usually just replace, and that makes them even less desirable.

[@Diemerstein]

@@JS-qi1ou I didn't say replace the transmission, I said replace the transmission fluid every two years, it costs us $120 every two years and runs smooth with no issues at all.

[@JS-qi1ou]

@@Diemerstein true keeping up with replacing fluids is great and more than what 90% of new car owners are willing to do. I'm talking about if and when they fail, as someone who used to work at a dealer when it came to CVT the cost of a rebuild was so high that the customers just limped them over to another place and traded them in. And that was Toyota, which had probably the best CVT's at the moment in the Prius.

[@matth9359]

@@Diemerstein False. I've replaced them with as little as 30k miles on them. Nothing you can do about it, but hope it fails under one of the extended warranty campaigns if it does fail. Some last a long time some don't. If it's got a judder code stored, it's done.

[@chamberlyvandora9594]

I agree. Even the Nissan Murano handbook does mention to change fluid every 100k miles or so, it needs to be updated and give out alert to the bulletin board but it seem like they won't do that.

I tried the Rogue and loved the safety features and comfort. After having all kinds of issues with various unreliable Toyota's. When first I sat in the Rogue I noticed it had a proper full sized sun visor. AND, it extends beautifully for guys like me who have to recline the seat. Plus the seat not only goes up and down but actually fit my sitting style like a glove. I recall my first words. "Ahh, at last, here's a car maker who understands what their customers need." After three Rogues with all the bells and whistles. Now in our retirement home. we now have probably the most comfortable AWD car on the road, their wonderful Murano SV. Truthfully, never had a problem of any kind in any Nissan except now were both eighty we discovered the Nissan Murano's Zero gravity seats making it THE MOST comfortable car we ever drove. Their CVT's have been great for me, but then we take proper care.

Scotty, I've owned 3 nissans. All bulletproof so far. 97 Altima, (5spd std) bought used with 30 thou on it. Drive it to 90 thou, gave it to my daughter, she put another 40 thou on it. It was still running perfect until she tried to swim it (no luck). Bought a new 08 Altima. My wife chose it over the Camry and Accord. The Camry was underpowered and drove you crazy with its constant gear hunting. The Accord simply wasn't comfortable. We drove it happily for 8 years. Only reg maintenance. 1 Battery, 1 front wheel brake pad. Sold it to my son, he still drives it daily. Bought a new 2016 Nissan Murano S L. Again, my wife picked it over the Toy Highlander and Honda Pilot. The Toyota had a really uncomfortable driving position. There wasn't a good place for your left foot. The Pilot felt too much like my Pickup (another vehicle you hate, 2010 Ram). The Murano was quieter, smoother, and much more comfortable. We've only had it 4 yrs. Time will tell about durability. Really enjoy your rants. Keep up the good work.

The only reason people buy these over RAV4s and CRVs is mainly because of financial reasons. Nissan financial will approve anyone with a pulse. Also the Rogue is a bit cheaper than the RAV4 and CRV. Also a good majority of Rogue drivers apparently don’t even know how to operate their headlights properly (driving with just DRL led strips at night) so they know nothing about CVTs.

[@EricFortuneJr.]

Mines is vin code “J” It’s a love hate thing.. Pros: At 127,xxx miles I haven’t had any issues with it. Change my cvt fluid every 30,000 miles or so. Good mpg (when driven conservatively) Cons: Performance isn’t up there with something like an Escape Ecoboost or V6 Rav4 and Nissan doesn’t offer a turbo or V6 option. I’d imagine this is because the transmission isn’t suited for more torque. CONCLUSION: I personally wouldn’t recommend this vehicle unless you’re the type who really stays on top maintenance intervals, the transmission in particular. Most people can own a car for 5+ years and changing the transmission fluid would never cross their mind, some don’t even know what transmission fluid is. You can’t always trust the extended life service intervals in your owners manual. Every 30,000 miles has worked for me. Overall I wouldn’t recommend. Only reason I own a Nissan is because I worked there, know the products and how to avoid known problems with their cars. UPDATE: 141,000 miles

It is not easy to service yourself. No dispstick (can purchase aftermarket), and extremely picky on fill level.

CVT WARRANTY EXTENDED .. In Dec 2021, I bought a fully loaded 2018 Rogue SL (manufactured in Japan) with 22,000 miles. The original drive train warranty is 5 years/60,000 miles which of course includes the CVT. However in Feb 2023, Nissan sent me a letter that the CVT warranty was extended to 7 years/84,000 miles to "… address concerns … expressed by plaintiffs in class action litigation". Now I feel much better about the purchase.

He’s right. I bought a 2012 Maxima with 50k and it was great for a few years. But once it got over 100k it started to fall apart (cv axles, wheel bearings, motor mounts, radiator, exhaust literally fell off, etc). Shame because at 150k the v6 still runs great but the cvt is finally giving out. Without changing the cvt fluid I can see how they crap out under 100k, they overheat very easily.

[@badazzbro3756]

I have a 2020 platium awd and love it. CVT transmission is for a retired person who do not care about going fast out of a bend or turn. That's why I like a murano since 2003 the 3.5 engine is proven to be bullet proof. Nissan put this engine in most of it's vehicles for years! For me, it's not about how fast the car can go, no not at all, it's all about going from from point A to point B in comfort, and that's all what the cars was invented for.

Well, Harvey, then you are probably in a good position to tell us, are the Nissan Altima/Rogue's as bad a s Scotty says they are in terms of gearbox failures and blown head gaskets on the 4 cylinder? I noticed he mentions 100,000 miles. Sounds like that once they are several years old with high mileage. the CVT could become an issue. I hired a Nissan Altima from Enterprise in Hawaii a couple of years back (i'm from Australia) and I was thinking, these things can't be that bad if they are used (and abused) as rental cars. The vehicle I drove was very smooth and comfortable.

I've got over 115K and the tranny was just checkec, oil changed, etc. Top mechanic says its still in great shape, BUT at this mileage it could go another 20-30 or go now. 9-10K to replace. P.S.

[@knurlgnar24]

@@hadoken1015 I looked this up a while back and the Rogue absolutely does use the push belt and NOT a chain. There are 2 versions of that transmission and the rogue gets the push belt. I don't have links but there is some good data out there on the topic with service manuals and the such. It is a better design than pre 2015 rogues though and will definitely last longer. I'd say we don't have enough data to know if they've really fixed the problem to most peoples satisfaction though... I own a Rogue and if it's still running strong at 150k miles I'll probably get rid of it - and that's from someone who prefers to buy 15 year old cars and drive them 'till they die at high miles.
