It never changed ratios so smoothly, both in manual mode with the preset ratios, or in auto mode. It's like night and day, and my friend did purchase his car brand new. My friend and I have done a fair bit of investigation.Īnd best of all, you wouldn't believe the difference in ratio changes between the stock fluid and the Redline. Thirdly, I hypothesize that most of the CVT failures are due to the fact that people never changed their fluid, or not on time, and in combination with very high fluid temperatures within the unit. Secondly, if they do pull samples, it will be primarily to check for contamination with conventional ATF, as I'm sure many people have inadvertently had their fluid changed improperly at a quick lube and had subsequent failure. So if it was green in the NS2 bottles, it certainly doesn't stay green for very long in the CVT in service. I guess you missed the part about the fluid being pitch black (worse than dirty engine oil). I highly doubt that they would be able to tell the difference. So if your friend experiences a failure under the newly extended 10/120,000 mile warranty, he's screwed. In the event of a CVT failure, Nissan will pull a fluid sample and analyze it to ensure that the NS-2 fluid was used. It also, most likely, has a chemical identifier. The NS-2 fluid has a green-ish tint to it. My friend only had 40,000 miles, and it was completely black. Nissan would never know the difference if you used a different fluid. Honestly, the colour of the Nissan NS2 fluid that came out of the CVT was pitch black. After a good drive, we checked the level according to the FSM procedure, and all was good. We idled the car for 30 seconds until the fluid started to sputter slightly, and then refilled with the proper amount of fluid. There is no need to remove the pan.īasically, we drained the fluid, refilled with the appropriate Redline CVT fluid, and then disconnected the fluid line leading to the radiator to help push the old fluid out of the torque converter. It was very easy, and there was definitely a drain plug at the bottom of the CVT pan. I changed the CVT fluid on my friend's 2008 Altima 2.5 SL.
