Why CVT Transmission Fluid Generally Doesn't Need Replacement

[BryceAnn]

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.
