Nissan Juke the amount of oil in the variator. Checking the level and condition of the variator fluid for the nissan beetle. Complete replacement of transmission fluid in automatic transmission

The story of how a girl changed the oil in a vending machine.

Is the result interesting?

Filled with 3 liters of mitasu ns-2.

It all started a couple of months ago, when I decided to check the oil level in the variator and its condition. Having opened the hood, I found that I did not see the dipstick, I climbed everything - it was not there. Doubting about my abilities as a "undercover detective", I went online to find the ill-fated probe. Previously, I already had to deal with design features Nissan when replacing cabin filter and when connecting foglights, so I was already prepared for the fact that the probe could be anywhere and necessarily in a hard-to-reach place, Nissan engineers love this business, hide it away, but more reliable. But everything turned out to be worse than I thought - the probe was simply missing:

"There is no dipstick, the level is checked by the master when changing the fluid.

The drain hole also serves as a level.

They poured it in - ran from the jellied one - twisted it - gave a circle - raised it again - checked the level - perhaps a little topped up.

The Japanese felt that there was nothing for the user to climb there. "

Another Nissan joke, well, there is no dipstick, we will change the oil according to the instructions. V dealership it is recommended to change it every 60,000 km, but it is better more often (every 20,000 km). I decided to wait and change the oil later, when I hit 60,000.

And then the day has come.

Changing the transmission oil on a beetle lasted for 2 days, I didn’t have to study and communicate so much and for the sake of such a simple operation as changing the oil, but I didn’t have a CVT before :)

The first day.

I called the service station, where I usually change consumables, made sure that they could change the oil on the beetle, and went to them. The guys looked, they said that there would be no hardware replacement, but the usual one (leaked / filled), 4-5 liters of oil would be needed. But which one? Native (nissan ns-2) is on sale (hyper-auto) and is not available at the service station. We could not find analogs straight away. It turned out that the mechanics at my service station had not previously worked with the beetles, they had nassans, but not the Beetle. They did not take the risk and offer me another oil, they offered to wait until the next day until they find a suitable analogue. I left the normer, I'm waiting for the call.

Second day.

While the guys from the service station were selecting a suitable liquid for the beetle variator, they did not waste time in vain and googled what they write on the Internet on this issue.

Initially, what did you want to understand what we are dealing with?

I definitely know the brand of the engine and body, but what about the variator? What model? What modification? Unclear.

The bumper says "xtronic cvt", but there is no such box in any oil catalog.

By simple manipulations, we find out that since 2010, the beetles have been putting a box JF015E from Jatco (cataloged Nissan standard - RE0F11A), such variators have been on many models since March 2010:

“In 2010, Jatko released the next generation of new CVT7-JF015 CVTs to replace its bestselling JF011E.

The design idea is different from the big brother (JF011E). The new design also features a torque converter to relieve stress on the shafts, a planetary gear train for reverse and three packages of clutch friction clutches: Direct No. 1, - No. 2 and Reverse. This design can be considered a hybrid of a variator and a two-stage gearbox, which makes it possible to consistently transmit torque by reduced cones and a belt, increasing ratio using two forward gears. This allows the use of smaller cones, and since the cones are the most expensive part of the variator, in addition to saving space, there is also a noticeable savings in the price of this variator hybrid.

The designers have achieved an imperceptible shift in the stepped automatic transmission and thought that when this CVT accelerates, the gear changes will occur once as in a stepped automatic transmission, the driver will not notice it.

The new generation of CVTs is designed to become Jatko's next bestseller for front-wheel drive cars of the light class with engines from 1.2 (L3) to 1.8 liters (L4): NISSAN Juke, Micra (like RE0F11A) and rare ones: Mirage, March, Roox, Tiida, Moco.

Like the JF015E, this CVT is massively installed on Suzuki Swift, Splash, Alto, Solio, Lapin and some Mitsubishi models. And the list of machines with JF015E is constantly expanding. "

In the same article, it is indicated that you need to use ns-3 gear oil.

In other sources (service station sites, forums) I found other information that it is better to fill in ns-2.

Hello! What kind of oil can be poured into CVT NISSAN JUKE? Thanks!

10/14/2014 at 06:17

Nissan NS2 only. "

Source - www.gearmatic.ru/nissan/juke/

And there were quite a lot of such sources, some of them referred to the manual and messages from dealers, it turns out it's still better to pour ns-2. But it is not available, I climbed to exist. To order, you may have to wait 3-4 days. It remains as a fallback, we continue to look for analogues.

So far, only one possible analogue has been found - ns-3. Here's what we managed to find on it:

"29.09.2015 01:06

Oil in the NS-2 or NS-3 CVT?

29.09.2015 04:01

not worth it. pouring on the dipstick, NS3 has a lower viscosity on hot, I suspect the control unit program differs under it. "

https://www.drive2.ru/l/5494677/ - here the author writes about the previous generation of the variator, but the following points made me doubt the "usefulness" of ns-3 for my engine:

"NS3, released for cars with volume

engines from 2 to 3.5 liters. "

My Beetle has a volume of 1.5 liters. Past.

"It is known that NS-3, with a replacement interval of 60 thousand, is positioned for use in

RE0F09A / JF010E and JF016E / JF017E (CVT8 / TH) "

On my beetle, the CVT model is JF015E. Again by.

It turns out that the ns-3 is not a complete analogue of the ns-2. Perhaps it can be used after calibrating the variator, but I have not done anything like this.

I call my service station, they say that they have found an analogue - idemitsu cvt f. I find a manual, mine is not on the list of nissana variators, but there is a previous variator model, but it is different from mine.

The last attempt - another call to the hypercar - I torture the consultant, for 15 minutes he patiently searches all the catalogs for my Beetle, we find ns-2, not nissan, but mitasu. The consultant swears that this is the same nissan ns-2 only in a bank of another manufacturer.

Google, I find positive reviews- https://www.drive2.ru/l/5829357/?page=0#comments

Poured out 3 liters of black slurry. Zhukovody, change the oil earlier, 60,000 km is too long. They also poured 3 liters, the pallet was not removed ( partial replacement). After 20,000 I will make a complete replacement with a change of filters (by the way there are 2 of them) and removal of the pallet, there you will still need a sealant.

In a couple of months I will add a review, I will tell you how my Beetle feels :)

Like any other component automotive system, the Nissan variator needs regular maintenance, which consists, first of all, in the timely oil change. You can change the fluid yourself, but you will have to carefully prepare for this.

CVT maintenance

A variator transmission (CVT) is a high-tech component of the automotive system. It has a rather complex structure and performs an important function: it correctly distributes the load on the engine, providing a comfortable movement, without jerks and failures, as well as fuel economy.

Nissan cars are equipped with variators from the Japanese plant Jatco, which produces variator boxes for almost all car brands in the world. The Jatco factory guarantee is 120 thousand km of run, and the real resource of the units reaches 150-200 thousand km. This is possible only if the device is properly maintained, mainly - timely oil change.

Oil starvation is the main enemy of the variator. Its design contains many moving parts that need high-quality lubricant reducing friction. In addition, the specialized CVT oil prevents slippage of the gearbox elements. If the lubricant is insufficient or of poor quality, the unit will malfunction.

How often should the oil be changed?

Oil change in Nissan variators, as a rule, is performed during the planned Maintenance cars. From the service regulations it follows that it is necessary to change the fluid in the box every 60 thousand kilometers. However, we recommend that you replace it more often - after 25-30 thousand km.

Determine the level and quality yourself transmission fluid practically impossible, since the CVT does not have a suitable dipstick. Therefore, the most reliable way is to count the mileage. As soon as the mileage traveled reaches the figure of 30 thousand km, it is worth stopping by the store and buying oil for the Nissan variator.

Oil selection

As already said, lubricating fluid in the variator box performs another function - it prevents slippage of working parts. Therefore, a special synthetic oil has been developed especially for variators.

The Nissan car plant produces branded products for its cars, which are recommended for use in various car models: NS-1, NS-2, NS-3. The number in the title indicates the generation of the liquid (first, second, third).

In the catalogs of auto parts, these products are presented under the following articles:

Before buying oil for a Nissan CVT, you should find out what kind of fluid is in it. The manufacturer strongly discourages mixing different types products as they are not interchangeable.

If you are in doubt about which oil to pour into the Nissan CVT, the best solution is NS-2. This liquid is applicable in Nissan cars Juke, Qashqai, Teana, X-Trail and others.

Instructions for changing the oil in the variator

It may take up to 10 liters of new oil to completely replace the transmission fluid. During operation, it is recommended to use a diagnostic device (to measure the temperature of the working fluid and reset the counter showing its condition).

How does the oil change in a Nissan variator do it yourself:

1. Having measured the operating temperature of the liquid, remove the plug and drain the old oil.
2. A plug is installed and a new liquid in a volume of 3 liters is poured through the control hole.
3. After installing the control plug, start the engine and turn on all gears in sequence for about 5 seconds.
4. After the working fluid has completely warmed up, the motor is stopped, and then the flushing procedure is repeated.
5. Fill in new 3 liters of oil, change gears with the engine running, and then unscrew the check plug to drain excess fluid.
6. If the liquid does not flow out, add 0.5 l of oil.
7. Reset the counter readings by diagnostic equipment.

In our time, CVT transmissions are becoming especially popular. The high demand for them around the world is mainly due to technical progress - this type of transmission is the most modern development.

The Russian market is just beginning to master CVT gearboxes - at the moment, not many car owners will be able to say exactly what types of oils need to be used in CVTs, in what volume and after what period of time to replace them. To find out to clarify the answers to the questions posed, it is necessary to approach in detail the study of the CVT used in the Nissan Juke.

Features variator Nissan Juke

A variator type gearbox is important element car system, characterized by the use of high technologies in its creation. Such a complex type of gearbox allows you to correctly distribute the motor load, while ensuring the most comfortable movement of the vehicle, excluding sudden jerks and dips. In addition to these properties, the variator is able to economically consume fuel.

All Nissan cars have CVT type gearboxes, which are produced at the Japanese plant Jatco. This industry provides variators for most of the world's car manufacturers, while providing a guarantee for the first 120 thousand kilometers (with an initial resource of 180-200 thousand kilometers). However, this option is only possible if vehicle correctly served. First of all, this concerns the replacement of the lubricant composition, made on time.

For a variator gearbox, oil starvation can be a disastrous process, since its structural part consists of a large number of moving elements. If their lubrication is not of high quality and timely, friction between the parts will increase, which will negatively affect the entire structure as a whole. In addition, a properly selected lubricant can prevent slippage of parts of the gearbox structure. In the case when the oil is of poor quality, and there is not enough lubrication, the operation of the entire gearbox system is disrupted.

Changing the oil in the Nissan Beetle variator can be done both at a specialized point and with your own hands. This procedure does not have any particular difficulties, and it is quite within the power to cope with it even for a driver without special skills. In addition, most of the information can be found on the Internet, as well as many videos that detail how to change the lubricant in the variator.

According to technical regulations, the level of the oil liquid in CVT Nissan Juke must be measured every 15 thousand kilometers (this corresponds to routine maintenance). However, changing the oil in the variator is only necessary if absolutely necessary, since the manufacturer provides a guarantee for a long service life of the structure and fills in oil in accordance with it.

Despite some technical flaws, CVT gearboxes are considered to be the most reliable types of gearboxes in comparison with automatic transmission... However, over time, negative changes can occur in the operation of the box - they will tell you that the gearbox needs to be replaced with a transmission fluid. It is especially worth paying attention to:

• Vehicle slippage;
• Abnormal gearbox vibrations;
• Deterioration in vehicle power;
• Deteriorated gear shifting.
• In the case when such factors appear periodically, it is worth thinking about changing the transmission fluid.

The process of replacing the transmission fluid in the gearbox Nissan Juke

The volume of lubricant in Nissan gearbox Juke is 3 liters. It is this volume that is quite sufficient to exclude engine oil starvation. When changing the lubricant, you can also take care of updating the filter, since a dirty filter element creates certain problems for the correct distribution of the oil fluid.

To start the process of changing the gear lubricant, you need to decide what kind of oil you need for the job. For Nissan Juke the best option there will be an original lubricant Nissan fluid CVT Fluid NS-2. It has high lubricating properties and prevents the gearbox from malfunctioning. For the full volume, two canisters will suffice.

For a successful oil change in the variator, you should prepare the following tools:

• Spanners;
• Screwdriver;
• Tank for draining waste material;
• Rags;
• Syringe (or funnel);
• Gearbox pallet gasket.

The process of changing the oil in the CVT is as follows:

1. First of all, you need to install the car on an overpass or above a viewing pit in order to provide access to the variator;
2. Next, you need to carefully unscrew the pallet cover;
3. The next stage is the removal of the old waste liquid;
4. Then you need to remove the container with the used oil and screw the plug;
5. On next step it is necessary to open the hood to find the filler hole;
6. Fill in oil, then check its level;
7. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes, periodically changing gears;
8. Subsequently, you need to check the oil level again and, if necessary, add fluid.

After that, you need to make a short trip, and then check the oil in the variator again. Next, you should periodically check its level to avoid oil starvation.

During the operation of any car, it is always necessary to carry out a daily inspection of the car, at least for the absence of oil and fluid leaks from the car systems. But when buying a new car, each driver has questions about where and how to check the oil or fluid level of a particular system or unit. Of course, you can look at the instruction manual, but it is not always visible and clear where it is located. So, further we will dispel the myth that the transmission fluid level in the Nissan Juke CVT cannot be checked. It is possible and necessary. Let us remind you that the Xtronic CVT M6 is installed on four-wheel drive vehicles... It is important to remember that before checking the liquid level, it is necessary to carry out a number of actions, according to the Manual, namely:

The procedure for checking the fluid in the variator Nissan Zhuk

1. Since the liquid before checking the level must be 50-80 C, for this you need to drive through the city. It will take about 10 minutes for the liquid in the variator to warm up to 50-80 C at an ambient temperature of 20 C.

2. After that, it is necessary to park the car on level ground. And apply the parking brake.

3. When running on idle engine, pressing the brake pedal, move the selector lever through all positions.

4. Next, open the hood and look for the dipstick, and then remove it from the pipe. The dipstick is located between the battery and the engine. Figure 1 shows how it looks. To remove it, you must press the latch and release.

Picture No. 1

5. Further, the verification procedure is as follows. It is necessary to take non-fibrous paper (rags cannot be used!). Wipe down the dipstick. Insert the dipstick by turning it 180 degrees from the original installation position and push it all the way into the nipple. Then you need to move the selector lever to the P or N position and make sure that the fluid level is within the specified range. Figure # 2 shows the minimum point of the liquid level.

Picture No. 2

6. After checking the liquid level, place the dipstick in its original position, turning it until it locks.

Checking CVT fluid condition on Nissan Juke

When checking the fluid level, it is imperative to pay attention to the condition of the fluid and, accordingly, draw further conclusions and find the cause that contributes to the malfunction of the variator.

Also, when checking the level, you must pay attention to the smell of the liquid. It shouldn't be burnt.
