What kind of oil to pour in fx35 automatic transmission. Oil change in automatic transmission infiniti fx35 (2nd generation s51)

famous FX series brand Infiniti went a short way from the first prototype to production model, which appeared in car dealerships in 2003. After 5 years, the second generation car was presented to the public.

Infiniti FX35 is a classic SUV off-road, positioned as a car for active people, mainly for young people, which is facilitated by the rather aggressive exterior of the model, somewhat reminiscent of the contours of a sports car. Sales of the Infiniti FX35 in Russia started in 2006. Although this model cannot be called super popular, many of our compatriots became its owners, paying tribute to the reliability and elitism of the brand.

Of course, the lack of a sufficient number of specialists involved in the maintenance of Infiniti cars has made visiting car services a rather expensive pleasure. Therefore, many owners spend maintenance work that do not require the use of expensive equipment, on their own. Among these events is an oil change in the automatic transmission of the Infiniti FX35, which, although relatively rare, requires a fairly serious attitude.

When to change

All modern cars equipped with automatic transmission, are considered unattended in this aspect. This means that the one filled in at the factory does not need to be changed during the entire period of operation.

The harsh reality completely refutes this thesis. A gearbox, especially an automatic one, is a technically very complex unit, in which there are a lot of rubbing parts. Without lubrication or with inadequate quality, they fail very quickly. Aggressive driving, adverse external factors and other reasons contribute to the deterioration of the lubricating qualities of the oil, so its timely replacement will significantly increase the resource.

Experienced motorists say that changing ATF oil in an automatic transmission Infiniti FX35 follows every 50 thousand kilometers, checking the level and quality transmission fluid every 10 thousand kilometers.

How to check the oil level in an automatic transmission Infiniti FX35

On FX35/FX55 models, the Jatco RE5R05A transmission is installed. This is a fairly reliable unit, but since only powerful rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive Nissan cars are equipped with it, it is a rather rare guest in our country. For this reason, we present an algorithm that allows you to find out how to do it yourself in the Infiniti FX35 automatic transmission:

• install the car on a flat horizontal surface;
• warm up the car by starting the engine;
• we switch the selector to each of the positions with a slight delay with the brake pedal pressed, we stop at the “P” position;
• carefully examine the transmission for fluid leaks;
• with a key of 10 we dismantle the plastic cover of the engine;
• loosen the bolt fixing the probe with the same tool;
• check the transmission fluid level while running at idle power unit. To do this, take out the probe, gently wipe it with a lint-free rag, insert it back into the neck and take it out again. The oil level should be within the COLD mark at a temperature lubricant 30 - 50 ° С;
• if the level is insufficient, add oil to the dipstick hole;
• we clamp the bolt, mount the engine cover;
• we warm up the car again, having driven around the city at a distance of 10 - 15 kilometers;
• we repeat the procedure for checking the oil level in the automatic transmission Infiniti FX35, but this time we look at the HOT mark.

At the same time, do not forget to check the quality of the fluid: fresh grease has a reddish tint, the darker the color, the longer the box is used without changing the transmission fluid. The presence of the smell of burnt sunflower oil indicates the burning of the friction clutches, if there are metal particles in the lubricant - this indicates the deplorable state of the box parts and the need for a TJ replacement procedure.

How to choose replacement oil

According to the manual, Nissan ATF Matic J fluid is poured into the Infiniti FX35 box. Experts do not recommend using analogues from other manufacturers, even if they indicate full compatibility at the specification level - all Japanese boxes are very sensitive to a different composition of additives.

When performing a partial replacement, you will need about 4 liters of transmission fluid to automatic transmission, for a complete replacement, you need to purchase about 11 liters ( filling capacity- 10.3 liters).

Sequencing

The partial replacement procedure is quite simple, but only 4 liters of fluid out of 10 can be replaced, which, if there are signs of severe contamination, will not provide a long-term significant improvement in the lubricating characteristics of the oil. Performing several partial replacements allows you to improve this indicator, and the Infiniti FX35 replacement procedure itself is performed in the following sequence:

• we install a car on a pit (overpass, lift);
• dismantle the box protection;
• we substitute the prepared container for mining under the drain hole;
• unscrew the plug, wait for the oil to drain completely, screw the plug back into place;
• remove the automatic transmission oil pan (unscrew all the bolts, except for the two long sides located in the middle, then wrap them very carefully so that when the pan is removed, the remaining oil does not leak onto the head);
• we dismantle the strainer, it is advisable to remember or write down the location of the parts so that there are no problems during the reverse procedure;
• thoroughly clean the pallet itself, the magnets located on it, the strainer, change the gasket of the pallet;
• install everything in reverse order;
• with a key of 10 we dismantle the plastic casing of the motor, find the probe, unscrew the fixing bolt with the same tool;
• we take out the dipstick and pour exactly as much transmission fluid into its hole as the working out has flowed out, however, after filling, we must check the level on the dipstick (for risks, we check in cold oil, by strokes - in hot, from 60 ° C);
• we start the engine, let it work a little, go through the selector lever in all modes (from P to D and back with a slight delay);
• repeat the level check with the engine running.

To carry out a repeated partial replacement, it is necessary to drive 500 - 1000 km.

If you want to produce complete replacement, there are two options: do it at a specialized service station, which will probably cost a pretty penny, or try to perform the transmission fluid replacement procedure yourself, without using expensive equipment.

The idea is to get the pump to only draw new fluid from the transmission pan through the dipstick filler neck. In this case, the mining must be drained into the prepared container.

How is the oil change in the box automatic Infiniti FX35:

It is advisable to carry out a similar procedure every 60,000 km, and if you are an adherent of an aggressive driving style, then twice as often.

In this article, we will tell and demonstrate how to properly change the oil in an automatic transmission using the 2009 FX35 (S51 body) as an example.

Practice shows that partial replacement oil in automatic transmission gives the result for a short time. The oil again quickly darkens due to the fact that no more than 3.8 liters can be drained (out of 11 liters in the system). All the dirt settles in the sump (almost 1 liter of the dirtiest oil, which can only be removed when the sump is removed). We recommend changing the oil every 50,000 miles. This will extend the life of the automatic transmission!

For this you will need:

11L Matic-S oil (999MP-MTS00P)

Pan gasket (31397-1XJ0A)

Disposable washers (for drain plug and level)

- Mandatory availability of diagnostic equipment to monitor oil temperature. Since this model does not have a dipstick to control the oil level. Our report used a Nissan Consult 3 plus.

And so we proceed to the replacement.

We raise the car on a lift to drain the oil and remove the automatic transmission pan.

We clean the drain plug of the pan with a metal brush to remove rust and dirt on the pan and plug.

We unscrew the drain plug. Drain the oil from the automatic transmission

In the photo you can see how black it is, and despite the fact that half a year ago, a partial oil change was made on this car.

After all the fasteners are unscrewed, remove the pallet. At first glance, everything is beautiful.

But if you look closely at the tray inside, you can see metal chips on the magnets and a dirty surface at the bottom of the tray.

We remove magnets from the surface of the pallet. These photos clearly show and understand why the oil will again darken very quickly!

The last detail we need to extract is oil filter. It is a metal mesh. It makes no sense to change it, just wash it. When removing the filter, you need to be very careful, because. fasteners that fasten it of different lengths. For convenience, it is better to choose the direction of disassembly (for example, counterclockwise and fold the fasteners in order on a clean surface).

After all the fasteners around the perimeter are unscrewed, remove the oil filter. The photo shows a dark coating on the filter housing (exactly the same on the filter mesh itself).

Then wash the pan and filter. Let's start with the filter. The best way to do this is carb. cleaner (liquid for cleaning the carburetor).

The photo shows that after cleaning the filter became like new. Then we fasten it into place, do not forget to tighten the fasteners in the reverse order of disassembly.

I wash the pallet and magnets with gasoline. Blow out with air and wipe thoroughly with a cloth. Put the magnets in place. On the removed pallet (in the lower left part on a small podium), the oil level control hole is clearly visible. This tube rises almost to the level where the pan meets the automatic transmission case.

We fix the pallet in place and lower the car to the ground. Pre-change the washer drain plug and twist the cork itself.

After that, remove the air intake. And we cover the left wing of the car (on the side with which we will work) so as not to scratch the paintwork.

And then we pull out the housing from the guides air filter. We are interested in the return hose of the automatic transmission oil cooling circuit, we disconnect the place circled in red. The rubber hose that was put on the radiator is the return line through which we will pour oil into the box (this hose is freely blown).

Oil is poured one liter through the adapter under hand pressure. The adapter is inserted into hose disconnected from the radiator (circled red circle with number 1). Thus, into it pour 6 liters of oil ( or rather 5.7l American packaging 946ml). The process took us a long time minutes 20-30. Then we take another hose (with a cross section like original) and put it on the radiator and output higher (the end of the hose in the photo is circled in red circle with number 2). We need it to drain old oil from the system (from the torque converter) by displacement by the automatic transmission oil pump after engine start.

We start the engine for about 10-12 seconds (during this time, 1 liter of old, dirty oil is displaced), as shown in the 1st photo. This can be done safely, without worrying that there is no air flow sensor left in the direction of travel, the error can then be removed by a consultant. Then again fill the automatic transmission with 1 liter of new oil, as shown in the 2nd photo. It doesn't hurt to lay down a rag to soak up the oil in case you accidentally spill it. This procedure must be done at least 5 times (drain / fill), so that at the end (about the 5th drained liter) clean oil begins to flow out. On the 3rd photo, we automated the oil filling process (if you loosely insert the canister watering can into the filling adapter so that there is air access, the oil is very quickly filled by gravity, in time, as well as squeezing it out by hand).

At the end of this procedure, calculate so that approximately 5.5 liters of Matic-S remain in the system!

This photo clearly shows that each subsequent liter displaced from the torque converter became cleaner. On the right in the photo, the oil is taken from the last 0.5 liters displaced. The last time they drained 0.5l so that 5.5l remained in the system!

There is very little left to complete the work and the most interesting! We need to connect a consultant, remove errors in the engine and check the ATF level in the automatic transmission.

And so, we connect Nissan Consult 3 plus to the diagnostic connector and turn on the ignition. The convenience of this device is that it can work via bluetooth. At this moment, you can walk with a laptop around the car or under the car, and are not connected to the consultant by wires.

The final step is to check the oil level in the automatic transmission.

Since the characteristics of the working fluid automatic box transmission fluid (ATF) largely depend on its temperature, to check the temperature of the automatic transmission fluid (ATF), we use the CONSULT-III PLUS diagnostic tool.

We check the ATF level as follows:

1. We start the engine.

2. Raise the car on a lift.

3. We go into the date sheet of the automatic transmission using the consult. We are waiting for the temperature of the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) to be approximately 40-45C.

5. If everything was done correctly, ATF will flow from the overflow hole. As soon as the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) starts to drip, tighten the oil pan overflow plug to the specified torque.

6. We lower the car, the work on replacing the ATF in the automatic transmission is completed.
