How much transmission fluid is needed for the 2017 City CVT?
2 Answers
When using a circulation machine to replace the transmission fluid, approximately 10-15L of fluid is required each time. Additional information is as follows: 1. CVT: For Nissan CVT transmission vehicles, it is recommended to change the fluid every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. The structure of a CVT is quite simple, consisting of two sets of four cone wheels clamping a steel belt. Each set forms a shape similar to a truncated cone, allowing the cone wheels to continuously change position and move up and down, adjusting the belt's radius to achieve variable speeds. 2. Advantages: CVT transmissions have many advantages. They offer more precise gear ratio selection, allowing the engine to maintain a constant speed, which is optimal for current kinetic energy. CVT technology also keeps the engine operating at its maximum power point, and CVT transmissions do not experience power interruption.
I just bought a 17-year-old Fit CVT version for more than a year, and I keep track of the maintenance myself. When replacing the CVT transmission fluid, about 3.5 liters are needed, which is the recommended amount in the manual. However, the actual situation may be adjusted slightly to 3 to 4 liters, depending on how clean the old oil is drained. The replacement cycle is every 60,000 kilometers, and the original factory-specified CVT oil is used to ensure smooth shifting. I have changed it at a 4S shop, and the technician said that after draining the old oil, pour in new oil, and it is best to use a graduated bucket to measure it accurately and not to add less. Insufficient oil can easily cause overheating, slipping, and damage to the gears, while too much oil can overflow and contaminate the machine. If you feel that the acceleration is not smooth or the noise is loud during daily driving, checking the oil level is a priority. Maintaining the transmission fluid well not only extends the life of the vehicle but also saves fuel costs. The CVT design of this Fit is sensitive, and oil is a key component, so don’t skimp on it. It is recommended to find a professional shop to ensure safety and reliability. Next time I change it, I will definitely follow this amount.
