For good work car Nissan Zhuk, the car owner should timely change the oil in the variator. For change, the original car oil with the recommended technical characteristics is used.

When is it necessary to change the oil in the variator?

According to the regulations of vehicle manufacturers Nissan Juke this car does not need to change the oil in the variator. Russian masters still recommend monitoring the condition of the liquid and making a timely change.

The transmission fluid needs to be changed if it:

• changed the usual color;
• smell;
• transparency;
• full of solid particles.

The frequency of changing the oil in the CVT on the Nissan Zhuk depends on the owner's driving style and the operating conditions of the vehicle. It is recommended to change every 50 thousand km.

How to choose oil for Nissan Beetle?

When choosing an oil to replace in a Nissan Juke variator, the car owner should be guided by the following tips:

1. If the vehicle is purchased in the cabin, the manufacturer will offer the original oil fluid, which will need to be purchased.
2. If the vehicle is purchased from secondary market, then the marking of the oil to be filled is indicated in the service book.

It is recommended to fill the variator with oil Nissan Juke Mobil1 5W-50 Supersyn PeekLife.

Stages of changing the oil in the Nissan Zhuk variator

In what cases the car owner needs to replace oily liquid in the Nissan Juke variator?

Signs of replacement:

1. The car is stalling.
2. During the operation of the gearbox, extraneous noise and vibration are heard.
3. The motor lost power for no apparent reason.
4. The car does not start moving from the first time and stalls.

To change the oil in the Nissan Zhuk variator with your own hands, the car owner will need the following tools and materials:

• original transmission fluid;
• professional set of wrenches;
• screwdriver;
• sealing gasket;
• rubber gloves and rags;
• syringe;
• waste liquid container.

Step-by-step instructions for changing the oil in the CVT on a Nissan Juke:

1. The vehicle is installed on the overpass. Before installation, the car engine warms up so that the oil reaches the required temperature. Warming up the oily liquid is necessary for a more thorough draining of the liquid with all deposits.
2. The next step is to unscrew the lid of the pan and drain the used oil. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes.
3. The cover of the pallet is screwed back.
4. The container with the used car oil moves away and the filler hole is located.
5. New oil is poured in and its level is checked.
6. Engine starting.

The above procedure for changing the oil in the variator nissan note carried out according to the scheme described for the Nissan Juke. To change, you will need the following tools and materials:

• head on 9 and 10;
• hexagon 5;
• containers for waste fluid;
• butter.

The procedure for replacing the oil fluid in the CVT on a Nissan Note:

1. Using a 10 head, the bolts on the pallet are unscrewed.
2. The paper filter is unscrewed.
3. The drain hole is unscrewed with a 9 head and the used oil is drained.
4. The pallet with magnets is cleaned and a new gasket is installed.
5. Assembly is carried out in the reverse order and new oil is poured.
6. The Nissan Note engine warms up, then turns off and checks the fluid level.

If nothing is leaking, then the process of changing the oil in the variator is completed.

Starting the engine after changing the oil in the variator

After changing the oil in the Nissan Zhuk variator, the vehicle engine starts with its own hands. After starting, the car is given to work on idling. At the same moment, the car owner works in the gearbox in several positions. This procedure is carried out to enable the oil to lubricate all parts of the variator.

The car is turned off and the car owner checks the fluid level. Checking is carried out with a measuring probe. If the level is not higher than the maximum mark of the dipstick, then the process of replacing the car oil in the Nissan Zhuk variator is completed.

Enough popular model NISSAN, along with QASHKAI J10, received a modification with a 1.6-liter engine (HR16DE) - not a turbo, probably one of the most unsuccessful transmissions in terms of minimum resource.

On average, the transmission of the same QASHKAI J10 with a two-liter MR20 engine takes care of 250,000 km without any problems, which is modern machines you don't see it often.

But with the 1.6-liter engine, the designers made one trick that turned out to be fatal, and the rare CVT JF015 (RE0F11A) reaches a mileage of 100,000 km. Consider this fatal constructor error.

The whole problem is initially in economy and ecology.

A very small motor is installed on the car, neither the power nor the moment of which is not enough for driving in urban mode. To give at least some accelerating dynamics, an automatic two-stage transmission was integrated into the box with a gear ratio of 1.8 in first gear to 1 in second.

In addition to the usual continuously variable variator with a gear ratio of 2.20-0.55, after the pulleys with a belt of a conventional CVT, a two-stage automatic transmission is installed, the planetary mechanism of which is visible in the photo.

The design is very openwork, there is practically no margin of safety, and the main problem is that the sun gear breaks off from the drum.

Thin metal, high speed - all this leads to such consequences.

Initially, the idea was good: light pulleys spin with engine speed, and then compensate for the lack of motor power by expanding gear ratios- but not due to the size (diameter) of the pulleys, but due to the stepped box. Thus, with compact dimensions, it is possible to obtain a transmission ratio of 4 at the start of movement. The shifting of the speed transmission occurs at 60 km / h, it is less noticeable, like a jerk when the torque converter is blocked at 20 km / h, and is more calmly tolerated by a weak motor, which by the time the 2nd gear is switched is already spun up to high speeds. But in life, such a car constantly rides on high revs engine, and therefore transmission elements. All this leads to her premature exit out of service.

The oil used in it also played a very important role in this. Initially, this transmission was not only innovative in this - it removed the so-called "STEP MOTOR".

This electric machine moved the valve stem responsible for changing the gear ratios in the CVT, in other words: "it changed gears (virtual)". The main disadvantage of transmissions, where the gear shift was controlled by the command of the STEP MOTOR block, is their inertia, as well as control inaccuracy associated with the inability to determine the position of its rod in some transient modes. New types of transmissions do not have such a device (including JF015). Here the gear control is implemented by linear solenoids. The inertia of such a system is an order of magnitude lower, the control accuracy is higher. But there are also disadvantages. First of all, technologically it is made with smaller gaps and for more fluid oil.

(lower viscosity). The old NS-2 oil is no longer quite suitable for such CVTs, and this is especially evident at low temperatures. High viscosity leads to low pumping speed - oil flow in thin gaps of control valves, the cross section of which has become even smaller. Realizing it, the engineers released a new NS-3 oil with different characteristics, but about Most of the cars were sold with the NS-2 and then it got even more interesting. In an attempt to reduce transmission damage, NISSAN has issued recalls

(service companies), which our dealers, as always, ignored. This led to massive damage to all transmissions on JUKE and QASHKAI with 1.6 HR16DE engines and such CVT as JF015.

Due to the general confusion and sloppiness, dealers began to flood the NS-3, and this led to jerks in the CVT "cold".

In October 2013, a circular was issued obliging the CVT control unit software to be replaced when changing NS-2 oil to NS-3.

Extract from it.

Then, in January 2014, due to confusion about the types of fluids used, NISSAN issued a second circular explaining where you can change NS-2 to NS-3 without consequences.
But during operation, it turned out that with NS-3 CVT JF015 oil, with heavy traffic, the belt begins to slip, which also leads to damage to the transmission. And all the procedures for replacing software in 2013 turned out to be erroneous. The CVT control programs contained errors that were eliminated only in 2017, and finally modified firmware for the blocks was released.

Below is a table of modified software for CVT control units for J10 and F15. At one time, the owners of XTRAIL and TEANA also had to reprogram the blocks.

Conventionally, today, no matter what firmware of the CVT unit you have, in order to save the transmission resource, you need to change the oil to NS-3 and reprogram the CVT unit if your firmware differs from the tabular one.
To do this, you need to check the firmware version of the unit with a scanner (as in the photo) and compare it with the table. In this example, we see the firmware version 1KA0E (the first digits for all CVT units are the same - 31036), and look at the table - there is an update. After reprogramming (with new NS-3 oil) reset the learning (accumulated parameters) and carry out a road test to learn the transmission.
On the corrected control program, the transmission works much better, according to the owners, the dynamics are better, and fuel consumption is lower. Before replacing the CVT control program, we always change the oil to new (fresh). The fact is that after reprogramming, the accumulated training data is erased and training occurs incorrectly on the old (dirty oil), especially if the oil has exhausted its resource and its parameters are far from the tabular ones due to aging.

Regarding the filling of non-original oils in the CVT and the consequences, it has already been said more than once. We look at the parameters of the kinematic viscosity of NS-2 and NS-3 oils in the tables below. We are conditionally interested in viscosity at a temperature of 40 degrees and 100.

NS-3
It seems to many that the parameters are insignificant and what's the difference, you can fill in another original oil or even "do not understand what." But in reality, even such a deviation in viscosity led to jerks at temperatures below zero and slippage of the belt at high temperatures and loads.

What the engineers wanted and what they did not succeed.

Initially, the problem is in climatic conditions and operation of the machine. Drivers do not warm up their cars and immediately start moving. In these CVTs, the oil is heated by the engine coolant, when it warms up, it heats the oil in the CVT. But no one warms the engine because of the economy of gasoline, the oil is too thick, it is poorly pumped in thin gaps, jerks occur.

The decrease in oil viscosity for the type of transmission led to a drop in viscosity "hot", the belt began to slip under load. In fact, NS-3 is made for drivers who do not want to warm up their cars before driving, because when fully warmed up to 100 degrees, its viscosity is lower and this led to belt slippage and damage to the CVT.

The new CVT control program precisely increases the pressure at high temperatures ah oil NS-3, programmatically compensating for its low viscosity. Yes, there are countries and regions with a warmer climate where the problem of warming up the oil in the CVT is not so relevant, but in our country this does not just happen. The car needs to be warmed up. This applies to all cars with any type of transmission - there must be an operating temperature. For cars with a START-STOP button, there is a good technical solution - we set autostart by activating the functions of the native key fob - by pressing the door close button three times in a row: the engine starts automatically. All cars equipped with auto start or warmed up by the owner met with mileage and under 300,000 km without problems in CVT, these are 2-liter engines and above.

conclusions

In CVT JF015, it is mandatory to change the oil to NS-3 and reprogram the block with retraining and a road test. In older type of transmission, where STEP MOTOR is used, it is better to leave the NS-2 and warm up the car. This applies to XTRAIL T31, QASHKAI J10, TEANA J32 - they had control programs that were revocable to replace, similar to JUKE, and many of these procedures were carried out, including ours. For all new cars, such as XTRAIL T32 or QASHKAI J11 body (since 2014) - only NS-3 and block reprogramming. There is no point in reprogramming blocks without changing the oil to fresh, no matter NS-2 or NS-3. With old, dirty oil, pressure modulators are not trained correctly.

Automatic transmission fluid - check and replacement (CVT RE0F10B)

Do I need to change the oil in the variator?

In politics routine maintenance for a long time there was an ambiguous situation. Jatco mandates periodic oil changes in its CVTs, and automakers often state that the fluid is designed to last the life of the units. On this issue, representatives of dealerships and independent technical centers are unanimous: the oil needs to be updated. Jatco recommends doing this every 60,000 km under normal driving conditions, and shortening this interval in severe conditions. This approach is guaranteed to extend the resource.

Jatco CVTs use two oil filters. The coarse filter located in the sump, when updating the oil, it is enough to rinse. Depending on the variator model, a disposable fine paper filter is located in a mounted heat exchanger or in a separate housing at the end of the unit. Servicemen advise using only original oil. All Jatco CVTs are very sensitive to the inevitable mixing of fluids with different additive packages. When the variator starts to mope (jerks, kicks appear, acceleration dynamics decrease), it is useless to change the oil in it in the hope of correcting the situation. Typically, such symptoms indicate significant mechanical wear of the elements and the need for repair. At the same time, all emergency modes the work of the variators is activated when things are already very bad (for example, the belt slip has begun). It is important not to postpone the visit to the service. Timely handling sometimes significantly reduces the final cost of repairs, since it is possible to save some elements.

ADDITIONALLY
Question on this topic to the editor of the magazine "Behind the wheel":

I read that the oil in the variator must be changed after 50 thousand kilometers. But in many publications it is written that in the variator it is filled for the entire period of its service. Nothing is said in the instructions. So where is the truth?

The fact that the oil in the variators is filled for the entire service life and does not require replacement is stated by specific auto giants. This is nothing more than a marketing ploy. At the same time, the manufacturers themselves often stipulate in the maintenance regulations that the oil in the CVTs should be updated under severe operating conditions, which include everyday driving in large cities. Moreover, automakers often disagree even when the same variator is installed on different cars. In order to guarantee a longer service life of the variator, it is better to play it safe and give it a “blood transfusion” every 50,000-60,000 km.

How much oil is in the variator and which one to fill in:

8.5 l., Firm fluid NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2

Checking the fluid level

It is necessary to check the level of the working fluid in the variator after warming up to 50~80’C. The procedure for checking the fluid level is as follows:

1. Check for leaks.

2. After warming up the engine, take a trip by car around the city. If the ambient temperature is 20 ̊C, it will take about ten minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50~80 ̊C.

3. Park the vehicle on a level surface.

4. Apply the parking brake securely.

5. With the engine running at idle, pressing the brake pedal, move the selector lever through all positions.

6. Pressing the lock, remove the dipstick from the variator filling pipe.

7. Remove working fluid from the CVT dipstick. Insert the dipstick by turning it 180̊ from the original installation position, then push it all the way into the variator filling pipe.

Use only lint-free paper to wipe the variator probe. Do not use rags.

8. Place the selector lever in position P or N and make sure that the fluid level is within the specified range.

When installing the variator probe in place, insert it into the filling pipe until it locks, turning it into its original position.

Checking the condition of the working fluid

Check the condition of the working fluid of the variator.

If the CVT fluid is very dark or has a burnt smell, check the CVT function. After repairing the variator, flush the cooling system.

If the working fluid of the variator contains wear particles (clutches, brakes, etc.), after repairing the variator, replace the radiator, flush the cooling system lines with a cleaning agent and blow with compressed air.

Fluid condition	Cause	Corresponding procedure
Lacquer (viscous state)	Change in the chemical composition of the liquid due to exposure to high temperatures	Change the CVT fluid and check the transmission control unit and vehicle for faults (wiring harnesses, cooling system piping, etc.)
Milky white or hazy	Water in the working fluid	Change the variator fluid and check for possible water ingress into the variator fluid
With a lot of metal particles	Excessive wear of friction surfaces	Change the automatic transmission fluid and check the operation of the variator

Changing the working fluid

At the final stage of replacing the working fluid of the variator, it is necessary to replace the gasket of the drain plug with a new one.

1. Remove the drain plug and drain the CVT fluid from the CVT oil pan.

2. Install the drain plug in place, tighten to 34.3 N m.

Do not reuse drain plug gasket.

3. Fill the variator working fluid through the filling pipe to the required level.

Use only genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. He mix different types liquids.

The use of any other fluids will adversely affect the performance of the variator and may cause it to fail, which is not covered by the warranty.

When filling CVT fluid, be careful not to burn yourself on hot parts of the exhaust system.

Shake the CVT fluid container well before filling.

After replacing the working fluid of the variator, it is necessary to delete data on contamination of the working fluid from the memory of the self-diagnosis module using the CONSULT-III device.

4. After warming up the engine, drive the car in the city. If the ambient temperature is 20°C, the drive will take about ten minutes to warm up the CVT to 50~80°C.

5. Check the level and condition of the working fluid of the variator.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 if CVT fluid is contaminated.

The main feature of the Nissan Beetle is that almost all of its models have a CVT - a new gearbox, an improved version of the machine. Changing the fluid in the variator is necessary in the same way as any filling fluid in a car.

Oil change dates in automatic transmission Nissan

Changing the oil in an automatic transmission on a Nissan Beetle, according to the manufacturer's manual, is not required. The original grease, filled in at the factory, is enough for the entire operational life of the machine. However, given the peculiarities of our roads and climate, a periodic change of lubricant is necessary every 45-60 thousand kilometers.

According to the regulations, every 15,000 km it is necessary to check the fluid level in the variator in order to avoid the appearance of some negative points.

Signs of a need for replacement:

• slippage of the car;
• the presence of vibrations, tapping and noise in the box;
• reduction in engine power;
• the response of the gearbox to driver movements worsens.

If there is not enough oil in the Nissan Juke automatic transmission or it has expired:

• the plunger and channels of the valve body are clogged with particles, causing oil deficiency;
• the temperature rises and the disks of the box are erased due to friction;
• overheats and burns out the clutch drum, pistons and discs;
• the hydraulic block wears out.

Filling volume of lubricant - 3 liters. This is exactly how much is needed to prevent oil starvation of the checkpoint on the Beetle and renew the fluid in it.

Changing the oil in an automatic transmission on a Nissan Beetle

List necessary tools for oil change in automatic transmission in Nissan Juke:

• a canister of new NS-2 or NS-3 oil - it is this grease that is filled in by the factory, and you can safely pour it in;
• box pallet gasket;
• set of wrenches;
• new filter;
• new drain plug ring;
• container for waste liquid;
• rags;
• rubber gloves;
• clean rags.

Oil for NISSAN JUKE is preferable to take the original - NS-2, NS-3 or Nissan SVT Fluid.
Before starting work, the car should be placed on a repair pit or overpass. Changing the oil in an automatic transmission in a Nissan Beetle occurs on a warm engine - this contributes to the rapid draining of waste from all channels and components of the box.

It is important to take into account that the liquid at the outlet is hot, and in order not to get burns, you should take care of your safety: overalls and work with gloves will prevent unwanted contact of the oil with the body.

Partial oil change in automatic transmission

Do-it-yourself partial oil change in a Nissan Zhuk automatic transmission is a simplified scheme of work when lubricating fluid drained and filled, without cleaning the pan and flushing the gearbox.

Replacement is carried out in the following sequence:

• unscrew drain plug and drain the old oil into a container.
• Unscrew the pallet of the box and peel off the sealant.
• Replace or wash the filter and install it in its seat.
• At the bottom of the tray, find magnets to collect chips and dust, clean them with a rag.
• Rinse and dry the pan, then reinstall.
• Replace pan gasket.
• Change the drain plug gasket and tighten it.
• Across control hole pour new product by pulling out the dipstick.
• Check the oil level on the dipstick when cold.

Tighten the filler hole and drive 10-15 km, checking the level on a hot automatic transmission.

Full oil change in automatic transmission

A complete oil change in an automatic transmission on a Nissan Juke includes flushing the variator - one of the mandatory procedures for a full mode of operation.

• After the glass is liquid, it is necessary to tighten the drain plug and unscrew the filler hole.
• Pour in a special flushing agent and start the engine.
• Without jerks, we switch alternately all gears, lingering for a couple of seconds on each.
• Shut off the engine and drain all the fluid through the drain.
• Unscrew the crankcase of the variator and drain the remaining mass.
• Clean the surface of the crankcase with acetone and reinstall.
• Pour new oil in the same way and check its level.

On this, independent work on full shift lubricant in automatic transmission Nissan Zhuk is over.

After updating the fluid in the gearbox, it is necessary to periodically check its level and top up. Since, after the first trips, part of the oil will be distributed over the nodes, channels and components of the gearbox.
