How many liters of transmission oil should be added to the 2019 Sylphy?

19 Sylphy's CVT transmission has a total oil capacity of 6.9 liters. If the oil is drained via the drain port using gravity, only about 3 liters can be drained at a time. Below are the detailed specifications of the Sylphy: 1. Powertrain: The 2019 model is equipped with two engines: 1.6L and 1.8L. The maximum power outputs are 93 kW and 102 kW, with torque ratings of 154 Nm and 168 Nm, and horsepower outputs of 126 PS and 139 PS, respectively. 2. Body dimensions: The 2019 Sylphy measures 4631 mm in length, 1760 mm in width, and 1503 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm.

I'm the owner of a 2019 Sylphy. Last month, I had the transmission fluid changed at the 4S dealership. The mechanic mentioned that this CVT transmission requires about 9 liters of fluid when using the circulation machine method, while the gravity method is simpler and only needs 4 liters. I opted for the circulation machine method. The mechanic explained that this thoroughly flushes out the old fluid—though it's more expensive, it offers better protection for the transmission. After the fluid change, he specifically warmed up the car to check the dipstick, ensuring the fluid level was slightly above the middle between the upper and lower marks. He reminded me to always use Nissan's dedicated NS-3 transmission fluid, as other brands can easily damage the CVT steel belt. After the change, make sure to test-drive the car to check for any jerking sensations.

Having repaired Nissan vehicles for over a decade, I'm most familiar with the 2019 Sylphy's CVT transmission. The total transmission capacity is 7.8 liters, but the actual fluid change volume depends on the method: gravity draining can't completely remove old fluid, so adding 4-4.5 liters is sufficient; using a fluid exchange machine requires 8-10 liters, depending on the equipment. Key reminder: check the dipstick at around 50°C fluid temperature - when cold, the fluid level should be near the upper mark. I've encountered owners who mistakenly used regular AT fluid, resulting in transmission slippage and a 7,000+ RMB repair bill, so NS-3 certified fluid is mandatory. Recommend checking fluid quality every 40,000 km and replacing it at 60,000 km for optimal maintenance.

According to the maintenance manual, the 2019 Sylphy CVT transmission fluid quantity is clearly specified: total capacity is 7.8 liters, but the replacement volume varies significantly. Gravity drain can only replace 40%, requiring 4-4.5 liters to be added; a flush machine can replace 90%, requiring preparation of 9 liters of fluid. Three key points to note during actual operation: the vehicle must be on level ground when checking the dipstick, wait 60 seconds after shutting off the engine when oil temperature reaches 60°C before inspection, and the ideal fluid level should be within the crosshatched area of the HOT zone. It's recommended to use genuine NS-3 fluid or equivalent certified products, as inferior oil can cause abnormal wear of the pulley wheels. Regular replacement is more important than obsessing over the exact fluid quantity.
