CVT FLUID
CVT FLUID : Checking CVT FluidINFOID:0000000005931167
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50° to 80°C (122° to 176°F).
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle to warm up the CVT fluid. When ambient temperature is 20 °C (68° F), it takes
about 10 minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 ° to 80 °C
(122° to 176 °F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
4. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move the shift selector throughout the entire shift range and return it to the
“P” position.

2. Drain CVT fluid from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)] and refill with new specified NISSAN CVT fluid in the CVT fluid
charging pipe with the engine running at idle speed.
CAUTION:
Only use the specifi ed NISSAN CVT fluid.
3. Refill until new CVT fluid comes out from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)]. NOTE:
About 30 to 50% extra fluid will be required for this procedure.
4. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-37, "

CAUTION:
Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-III after changing CVT fluid. Refer to CVT-48,
"CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)".
CLUTCH FLUID
CLUTCH FLUID : Air Bleeding ProcedureINFOID:0000000005931169
CAUTION:
Do not spill clutch fluid onto painted surfaces. If it spills, wipe up immediately and wash the affected
area with water.
NOTE:
• Do not use a vacuum assist or any other type of power bleeder on this system. Use of a vacuum assist or power bleeder will not purge all the air from the system.
• Carefully monitor fluid level in reservoir tank during bleeding operation.
1. Fill master cylinder reservoir tank with new clutch fluid.
2. Connect a transparent vinyl tube and container to the bleeding connector (1) on the CSC.
3. Depress and release the clutch pedal slowly and fully 15 times at an interval of two to three seconds and release the clutch
pedal.
4. Push in the lock pin (1) of the bleeding connector (2), and maintain the position. • RS5F91R transaxle models
CAUTION:
Hold the lock pin in to preven t the bleeding connector from
separating when fluid pressure is applied.
