How Often Should the Transmission Fluid of Nissan Sylphy Be Changed?

[ChristianFitz]

Nissan Sylphy uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and the CVT fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 60,000 kilometers. The signs that indicate the need for a transmission fluid change include: body shaking, gear shifting hesitation; the dashboard showing a transmission high-temperature warning; the car stalling; and unusual noises. The methods for changing the transmission fluid are as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid before refilling. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill the fluid: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to change the automatic transmission fluid: A smart circulation machine can perform dynamic fluid changes, filtering and cleaning sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission. Manual fluid change (gravity drain) requires adding four to six liters of fluid; using a fluid change machine requires adding approximately nine to twelve liters.
