Any 2nd opinion on when 2nd CVT oil shd change (at every 30k km will be damn siong lei)? Mine just changed at Autosaver at $90 with normal service package right b4 CNY. Btw, do watch out the CVT oil level after replacement as for me, 4l (1 standard container of NS-2) is not enough whereby believed they have topped up for me another ~1l, FOC . So far it's working fine after the replacement.

Hv been with TC since day 1, mine was changed at 60K and 120K, not at 30K interval after the 60K.

Hehe.. yea, travels to KL often, sometime up to Penang. U oso not bad hor, covered ~20K within 6 mths. Since i travel so much, therefore i service all the while at TC, less headache. I don hv to monitor so much on wat nd or hv to change. Normally do 1 service (10K) within 3 mths.

Changing the CVT oil at a certain mileage is a good idea as a guideline but it should also depend on the style of the driver. If you are aggressive on the throttle, then, the CVT gearbox has to work harder and puts more stress on the moving parts especially on the belt. Just like a manual gearbox with the clutch plates, if you are aggressive with hard acceleration, your clutch wears out faster or rather, the steel belt on the CVT box. The main issue of gearboxes is after warranty if you plan to continue driving the same car. Changing the CVT oil sooner can mean extended lifespan for the gearbox after warranty. Which is cheaper, changing the oil or gearbox?

Car manufacturers have basic guidelines but also need to ensure that it is not too expensive to maintain a car. Let me give you an example, BMW's autoboxes are maintenance free, no need to change the oil, but at 150K, you are supposed to change the whole gearbox. Ouch!

wow... it was a long time since any new post here! :p

so how's everyone's CVT doing now? still going strong i hope? Just bought a 2nd hand 4-yrs old latio sports premium... the previous owner did his/her last servicing at 61k at TCM, when i got the car it was at 67k++... do I need to call up TCM to confirm if they had change the CVT NS2 fluid during the last servicing (60k) to play safe? when is the next recommended change for CVT fluid?

lastly do anyone has any idea how much a CVT GB will cost for latio? I heard its ~$3k, also heard its $10k... scary leh.. when i buy this car, i intend to drive till scrap de... if halfway CVT dies on me then i will sian 1/2.

haha... looking forward to any help from u guys! cheers!

i juz did my at autosaver and from the way they do the job, i've decided to stick with them for my subsequent svcing. Autosaver CVT charges 95bucks. If you bring your own CVT oil, they can change it for you during your 10k svcing session. Outside selling 85bucks for NS2.

TCM service program for CVT oil replacement is 100k interval. I sent in my latio for 60k and was told it is only require to do a normal package without replacing CVT oil. They charge 100plus for CVt oil.

Guys, dont push till 100k to replace your cvt oil. I checked with TCSC and recommended my replacement at 100k. Recently did 70K service and Mech inspected my GB dip meter, found the oil to be dirty already and level low. On the spot drain out the oil.... visually quite dark!! Follow the 60K replacement, also check your GB dip meter over 10K to be safe.

Hi,
Just got my end09 Latio.....thinking are we possible to DIY the CVT oil change?

andromeda2000 · « **Reply #75 on:** October 17, 2011, 05:41:14 PM »

Anybody know how much cvt oil our latio need? Thinking of buying the CVT NS-2 oil myself and change at outside workshop during 60K servicing.

If more than 4L, how long can we store the leftover cvt oil? Feel like very wasteful if throw away. Very exp.

Also, which nissan stockists do you all normally get your parts? First servicing outside TCM, so had to ask.

Thanks in advance.

I just changed my CVT gear box because mine died... I did not know about the CVT oil change thingy hecen up to 140K still never change - and my mechanic - the small shop one - never tell me to change.
Then the gear box died on me - got to tow the car.
At TC - they recommend to change the whole gear box at $13K!
At Delgro - they recommend me to overhaul the gear box at $4500.

In the end my rep send me to another workshop at Ubi - they changed my GB to a recon one at $3500.
However, there is a risk - it may or may not be that good.
And true enough - 2 weeks later it died again. It was replaced again with another recon GB. Car in for 1 week. Just got car back last Friday. Now stress testing the car to see if it will break down again...

I learned my lesson lor....

good info,

i did renew my cvt fluid at 60k, but currently my milage still at less than 100k, so keeping my fingers crossed.

am surprised the mechanic never mentioned about changing your cvt fluid, if i am not wrong, normal 4AT also need to replace their ATF at certain interval.

safe driving bro.

gentoro · « **Reply #78 on:** March 20, 2012, 02:30:23 PM »

I previously servicing with TCM - recently divorce them and service outside cheaper. 4.5yr latio.

Currently my milage just hit 180k and I think their last CVT oil change were at 80k or 100k? My cousin forgot already - I bought the car from him btw.

Planning to go Autosaver asap for CVT oil change. Beside changing CVT oil at regular interval, any else require? Eg. full servicing or overhauling?

Currently CVT is still working fine but I do know that it ought to be maintain similarly for 4AT - flushing and changing AT oil.
