How many liters of oil is in a Nissan Tiida variator? How to change the oil in a Nissan Tiida variator with your own hands? How to make the right choice

To change the oil in the variator you need a little:

First of all, you need the oil itself, for my variator it is NS-2. I took two 4 liter cans, there was one incomplete can left, because... used approximately 5.2 liters. In addition, you needed a container for draining used oil, a utility knife, a 19 mm wrench, a plastic bottle with a hose (diameter 1 cm), gloves and electrical tape.

I used the overpass, but you can do without it.I drove onto the overpass, opened the hood, pulled out the variator dipstick

who doesn’t know - there is a latch on the probe on the side surface of the handle, you need to press it with something similar to a screwdriver, I press it with an office key :) Then we take this:

and unscrew this

After the first turn of the plug, you can unscrew it with your fingers, placing a container underneath to receive the oil. I had two of them :)

For those who don’t know, the oil is hot and, as you can see, it’s already very dark. In order not to bother with the volume of new oil poured, we make marks on containers with used oil. I scratched the mark on the bottles with a utility knife. If you want the marks to be clearly visible in the photographs, take white gouache with you :) We carefully pour the used oil into a 6-liter jar and later take it to our comrades who have a boiler operating in waste oil. At the bottom we find this:

Do not forget to pay attention to the presence of a sealing washer on this. If everything is in place, screw it back where it was, tighten it without fanaticism.

Then we do this:

and like this:

Pour new oil into the already empty used oil containers, exactly to the mark. You can't see it here, but the oil is green like Tarragon, but you can't drink it.

But here you can already see that the oil is green:

but you still can't drink :)

After all the oil has been poured into the variator, the most difficult thing remains - we remove the stray with the hose, insert the dipstick into place, close the hood, collect the empty cans in a bag, tie the bag with two knots and put it in the trunk - this is a gift to the nearest trash heap. Then we wipe the dust with a cloth for another hour. engine compartment and we get satisfaction from the work done, it looks like this:

Then we drive along the highway for 10 km, play with the SPORT button, don’t listen to music, listen to the engine. We stop, move the gearbox lever through all positions, leave it in “P” mode, don’t turn off the car, get out, pull out the dipstick and check the oil level in the variator. We make sure that everything is fine, get into the car, drive home for dinner, listen to music along the way and plan for a couple of weeks.

I decided, with the arrival of heat and a filter, to change the oil in the boiler!
Took Idemitsu oil CVT Type N, I read that this is what is in NS-2 banks. I took 8 bottles of 1 liter each with a price of 640 per liter.

I also ordered a pan gasket.



I ordered a fine filter, I waited the longest for it - almost a month... thanks to Emex that the filter was lying around in our warehouse for a week in our city...



We will need for replacement: A driver and a ratchet A small extension (unscrew the pan bolts) A 19 socket (unscrew the drain bolt) A 10 socket (unscrew the pan bolts and coarse filter) A 6 hexagon (unscrew the fine filter) So, let's start: Raise the car and place it on reliable stops. We remove the plastic protection, it prevents us from unscrewing the front bolts of the pan.

Take a basin or bottle of at least 5 liters, unscrew the bolt to 19 and drain about 5 liters of oil



After this, unscrew the bolts of the pallet, carefully hold it, because there is still about a liter of oil



Here is a tray with magnets

Then remove the coarse filter. ATTENTION! One bolt is shorter than the others, located in the corner and secures the plate with wires



Then a fine filter





There is still a small amount of oil in both filters. Take the coarse filter and pan and go clean it





It is best to clean with a carb cleaner; jet pressure will clean well. I ran out of it at the very beginning, because it was all spent on cleaning the remote control. I had to clean it with gasoline. We remove the magnets and clean them too. It remains unclear to me that there are several pieces of black wires in this block that are simply dangling in pieces... for what purpose? maybe someone knows?

I still had to spend a long time and tediously cleaning off the old black sealant from the pan, bolts and variator housing - an indication that someone had already stuck their unprofessional snout into the variator.
After that we put the magnets in place
Let's take new filter fine cleaning and put it in place
Screw on the coarse filter

We check all the bolts very carefully! So that it doesn't happen unnecessary details, dirt, lint, etc.

Place a new gasket on the pan

We put back the pan with the gasket, first screwing in the drain plug. We stretch the bolts crosswise.

After this, start the engine, bring it to operating temperature, we drive the gear selector back and forth, get out and check the fluid level.
We check with a warm, running engine, with the selector in position P!
The oil level should be at the top shaded line

If there were no more problems, then congratulations. For me, everything didn’t go so easily, as I already said, someone stuck their snout into the variator...
