Oil change in the variator Nissan Qashqai

The performance of any computer is impossible without routine maintenance. Changing the oil in Nissan Qashqai CVTs should be done periodically to ensure the necessary characteristics of the transmission fluid and avoid premature failure of the box.

When is it necessary to change the oil in the Nissan Qashqai variator

According to the automaker's regulations, the oil in Nissan Qashqai CVTs must be changed at regular intervals - once every 40-60 thousand kilometers.

The need for replacement is indicated by the presence of the following signs accompanying the operation of the transmission:

Especially dangerous is the delay in changing the oil in the Qashqai J11 variator. This modification of the car is equipped with a JF015E gearbox, the resource of which is much less than that of the previous JF011E model.

Fluid contaminated with wear products of friction elements causes severe bearing wear, failure of the oil pump pressure reducing valve, and other negative consequences.

Checking the oil level in the variator

In addition to the deterioration of the quality of the oil, an insufficient level may indicate the need to replace it in the variator. Checking is not a problem, since a probe is included in the Nissan Qashqai variator.

Procedural algorithm:

1. Warm up the car until the engine temperature reaches 60-80 degrees.
2. Park the car on a level surface with the engine running.
3. While holding the brake pedal, switch the selector to different modes, stopping in each position for 5-10 seconds.
4. Move the handle to position P, releasing the brake.
5. Remove the dipstick from the filler neck by breaking the locking element, clean it and reinstall it.
6. Remove it again by checking the oil level mark, after which the part is put back on.

In addition to the quantity, the quality of the liquid can also be checked in this way. If the oil turns dark, smells burnt, it must be replaced regardless of other indicators.

Car mileage

The main criterion determining the need to change the oil in the Qashqai J10 variator or other modifications of the machine is the mileage. The fluid is changed after 40-60 thousand kilometers traveled, depending on the operating conditions.
