How many liters of transmission fluid does the Teana require?
4 Answers
Nissan Teana 2.0 transmission fluid model is NS2, generally using Nissan's CVT-specific fluid. The Teana 2.0 typically requires 4L-5.5L of transmission fluid for a change. Related details are as follows: 1. Replacement interval: Transmission fluid generally needs to be replaced every two years or every 40,000 kilometers for automatic transmissions, while manual transmissions typically require fluid changes within 60,000 kilometers. The amount of transmission fluid replaced each time depends on the vehicle model and replacement method. 2. Replacement method: When replacing automatic transmission fluid, usually the transmission fluid pan screw is removed to drain the old fluid before adding new fluid, which only replaces about 70% of the old fluid. For a complete replacement, it's necessary to visit a local major service center to use a fluid exchange machine, which can replace over 90% of the old fluid.
I've been driving a Nissan Teana for three to four years, and I remember the transmission fluid capacity is around 8 liters, depending on the model year. For example, the 2016 CVT transmission usually takes 8 liters, while newer models might reduce it to 7.5 liters. Last time I changed the fluid myself, I bought the NS-3 specific oil and prepared a full 8-liter bottle plus half a bottle as backup. Don't wait too long to change the transmission fluid, as dirty fluid can affect shift smoothness, increase engine load, and waste fuel. It's recommended to check the fluid quality every 40,000 kilometers, and if it appears black or has a burnt smell, change it immediately. The fluid change process isn't complicated, but avoid overfilling or underfilling, as it can cause the transmission to overheat or produce noise, affecting driving safety.
As a mechanic who has worked on many Teanas, the transmission fluid capacity is generally around 8 liters, with most CVT models taking 8 liters. When changing the fluid, first drain all the old oil completely. The typical refill amount is between 7.5 to 8 liters. Overfilling can lead to high oil pressure and may damage seals, while underfilling can cause insufficient lubrication and slippage. It's recommended to use Nissan's genuine NS-series fluid for optimal compatibility and to ensure transmission longevity. The fluid change interval should ideally be kept between 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers, especially for city driving conditions with frequent traffic congestion. Regular maintenance can save you from costly major repairs and prevent issues like jerking or unusual noises caused by degraded fluid.
The Altima's transmission fluid capacity is approximately 8 liters, which is typical for most CVT models. Don't underestimate it - over time, the fluid thickens, leading to sluggish acceleration and rough gear shifts. It's recommended to change it every 50,000 kilometers. Opting for high-quality synthetic oil saves both money and hassle. New owners can check the manual for exact capacity, as different model years like the 2015 or 2020 versions may vary by 0.5 liters. DIY changes are prone to errors, so having a shop handle it ensures safety and efficiency while avoiding fluid leakage risks.
