What kind of oil is the transfer case oil for the X-Trail?
1 Answers
X-Trail transfer case oil is differential gear oil. Introduction to transfer case: It is a device that distributes the engine's power, capable of delivering power to the rear axle or simultaneously to both the front and rear axles. The transfer case is a transmission component found in four-wheel-drive vehicles. Characteristics of transfer case: In vehicles equipped with a transfer case, power is first transmitted from the driveshaft to the transfer case, which then distributes it to the front and rear axles. It allows switching between rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, commonly used in rugged off-road vehicles. Nissan X-Trail transmission oil specifications: There are no specific requirements, but it is important to use CVT transmission-specific oil. Using other oils may result in insufficient power and damage to the transmission. The amount of transmission oil added is typically around 4 liters, until it overflows from the filler port. For Japanese models, it is recommended to replace the oil every 40,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Vehicles that frequently drive at high speeds should consider replacement around every 40,000 kilometers. Automatic transmission fluid cannot be completely drained using atmospheric pressure, which only removes about half of the used oil. The remaining fluid, along with sludge and impurities, can accumulate in the valve body, torque converter, and cooling lines, leading to blockages in the system. Over 99% of automatic transmission failures are caused by overheating and prolonged use of ATF without replacement, leading to contamination. Additionally, it is essential to check whether the transmission pan is deformed or if there are any leaks in the transmission lines.
