Check that oil is not leaking from transaxle or around it.

Remove speedometer pinion and check oil level distance“L”
as shown.
Oil level (“L”):
RS5F70A (QG16DE/QG18DE)
75.5 - 80.5 mm (2.97 - 3.17 in)
RS5F70A (SR20DE)
56.5 - 61.0 mm (2.22 - 2.60 in)
RS5F32A (CD20T)
57 - 62 mm (2.24 - 2.44 in)
Use genuine NISSAN XZ gear oil or exact equivalent.
Changing M/T Oil

RS5F70A 3.0
(5-1/4 Imp pts)
RS5F32A 3.6 - 3.8
(6-3/8 - 6-3/4 Imp pts)
Drain plug:
:25-34N·m (2.5 - 3.5 kg-m, 18 - 25 ft-lb)
Use genuine NISSAN XZ gear oil or exact equivalent.
Checking CVT Fluid Level
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. Check fluid level.
Fluid level should be check using“HOT”range on dipstick at
fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) after vehicle
has been driven approximately 10 minutes in urban areas
after engine is warmed up. But it can be checked at fluid
temperatures of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using“COLD”
range on dipstick for reference after engine is warmed up
and before driving. However, fluid level must be rechecked
using“HOT”range.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and then move selector lever through reach
gear range, ending in“P”.
