Advise on Cvt transmission fluid
« on: June 19, 2013, 11:27:20 AM »
Hi, I am a newbie here and this is my 1st post :smile:
I just bought a Latio sports 2005 model(left 2.5yrs) and as i dun have
previous service records, i decided to check the cvt oil from the dipstick.
its a clear light yellowish colour but understand tat original NS2 should be light greenish in colour?
correct me if I am wrong.. Any comment on my clear yellowish colour? Is it normal?
Thanks for advise :ohmy:

Not sure just change the cvt oil.....no harm, likely can last for next 2.5yrs.

I change the CVT oil every 30,000 KM .

This is something you don't want to save on or experiment any other oil except the Nissan N2.

This will save you lots of heartache and money in future . :D

Yes will change it since need only change once for my 2+yrs ride. Btw after some search found an oil from mitasu Japan which might be the one currently use in my car! Colour is neutral yellow as well! Just FYI.. :smile:
