There are two options for determining the aging period of the oil in the Nissan Qashqai variator. The first is a scanner. For example, Launch will cope with this, the sensor in the box determines how much the oil is "burnt", and then gives the information to the scanner. According to the manufacturer, if the figure is less than 210,000 (attention, this is not a mileage), then it is too early to change the oil.
Oil change intervals and required spare parts
According to the regulations of the service book, the oil in the variator should be changed every 60 thousand km. But given the poor condition of domestic roads, it will be much better to carry out the replacement after 30-40 thousand km. The choice of spare parts should be approached with responsibility, but it is still better to dwell on the original parts. It is also worth noting that conventional ATF is not suitable for a CVT as for an automatic transmission. It is necessary to fill it with a special liquid NISSAN CVT Fluids NS-2. The required volume of oil for a complete change is 8 liters (2 cans of 4 liters), original number KLE5200004.
In addition to liquid, you also need to purchase the following consumables:
- a gasket for the transmission pan with the original number 31397-1XF0C;
- pallet drain plug gasket, original number 11026-01М02;
- oil cooler housing O-ring, original number 2920A096;
- gearbox oil cooler oil filter, number 317261XF00;
- CVT coarse filter, with original number 317281XZ0D (replaced if necessary and when it is very clogged).
For the presented original numbers, there are similar replacements of various manufacturers, but it is still better to give preference to original parts and fluids, jokes with the variator are bad.
Tools for changing the oil in the Nissan Qashqai variator
Before proceeding directly with the replacement work, you need to prepare the necessary tools and materials:
- 10 head or socket wrench;
- head 19, for unscrewing the drain plug of the pallet;
- flat screwdriver;
- container for drained liquid;
- clean rags.
Here's what you need to get the job done.
The procedure for changing the oil in the CVT variator Nissan Qashqai
Attention, work on changing the oil in the variator should be performed on a warm engine and gearbox. The replacement itself will not be difficult, and it should be performed on a viewing ditch or overpass. Also, do not forget that in a Nissan Qashqai, in addition to changing the oil, you should clean the magnets and the sump body.
The work itself looks like this:
- The first step is to unscrew the crankcase protection. To do this, unscrew the four fastening bolts, then use a flat screwdriver to pry on and pull out the fastening clips.
- With the help of a 19 head, the drain plug of the pallet is unscrewed and the oil is drained into a previously prepared container.
- Next, using a key or a 10 head, you need to unscrew the 18 bolts securing the pallet and remove it.
- It is worth noting that there are two magnets and oil residues in the pan, so you should remove it carefully.
- The oil filter is replaced, and if the coarse filter is heavily clogged, then it should also be replaced with a new one.
- The pallet body is wiped and cleaned together with the magnets, then a new gasket is placed and everything is assembled in the reverse order.
- Also replace the drain plug gasket.
- Fill in a new transmission fluid and check the level with a dipstick so that the oil is at the required level.
- The car starts up and tests are carried out.
It must also be said that after the work done, the oil aging counter should be reset using the scanner, otherwise the pressure in the system will be abnormal and the variator may break.
