Nissan's advanced CVT transmission can have its specialized fluid replaced every 200,000 kilometers. Many private vehicles may not even reach 200,000 kilometers before being replaced, leading to the viewpoint that CVT transmission fluid may never need replacement throughout the vehicle's lifespan. Transmission Fluid Replacement Intervals: Different vehicle models have varying replacement intervals. Below are the general guidelines for transmission fluid replacement; Manual Transmission: Manual transmission fluid is typically recommended for replacement every three years or approximately 100,000 kilometers; Automatic Transmission: Automatic transmission fluid is generally advised to be replaced every two years or around 40,000 kilometers; Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): CVT fluid is usually suggested for replacement every two years or about 60,000 kilometers. Hazards of Not Replacing Transmission Fluid: Damage to the transmission's gear shift control mechanism; Abnormal wear of gears and clutch plates within the transmission; Impaired normal operation of the transmission, potentially leading to damage of the transmission valve body.

What to Do When BMW Run-Flat Tire Pressure is Low?

When tire pressure is low, the contact area with the ground increases, and the heat generated from rolling becomes much greater than at standard pressure, which can cause deformation of the internal cord layers. Excessively low tire pressure will cause the outer edges of the tire to contact the ground, preventing the entire tread from making contact and failing to provide sufficient grip area.

How to Solve Severe Oil Burning in BMW 525?

Place a white cloth under the engine, then start the engine, and check for oil leakage based on the oil stains on the cloth. Confirm whether carbon buildup is causing the piston rings to stick. Damaged valve stem seals are a common cause of oil burning in BMWs, and they can be replaced without removing the cylinder head. If the pistons are severely worn and the clearance is too large, an engine overhaul is required, which will significantly reduce the car's value.
