2 Answers
The paper filter element of Nissan CVT transmission is located behind the intake duct and battery bracket. There are 3 maintenance methods for the transmission: 1. Regularly inspect the transmission: Check the fluid level in the transmission to keep it within the specified range, and replenish it promptly according to actual working conditions. Ensure the newly added fluid is of the same type when replenishing; 2. Regularly inspect the condition of different connection parts of the transmission: During daily maintenance, check the condition of each connection part to promptly identify any issues such as looseness, wear, or damage. Tighten any loose connection parts immediately; 3. Develop good driving habits: Cultivate good driving habits during daily use. When shifting gears, avoid applying excessive force to the gearshift lever and follow the prescribed methods to prevent gear damage, shift fork damage, or lever damage.
I've studied the details of Nissan's CVT transmission. The paper filter element is typically located inside the transmission oil pan. You need to remove the oil pan first to see it. The oil pan is a metal cover plate located at the bottom of the transmission. After removing it, the filter is fixed there. The filter's function is to remove impurities and debris from the oil, protecting internal components from damage. If the filter becomes clogged or aged, the transmission may experience rough shifting or failure. When replacing, it's recommended to drain the old oil, thoroughly clean the metal particles adsorbed by the magnet on the oil pan, then install the new filter and sealing gasket. Replacing the filter every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers is the ideal interval, but you'll need wrenches and lifting equipment. DIY operation requires patience, otherwise oil leakage can be troublesome. Overall, maintaining this filter can significantly extend CVT lifespan and avoid expensive repair costs in the future.
