What’s up everybody!
This is a DIY how-to on replacing the CVT Fluid as per the Nissan FSM outlines, and replacing the 2 transmission filters on a 2013-2018 5th gen. Nissan Altima. Sorry it got a bit long, just wanted to be as thorough as possible. This is a follow-up to my original CVT fluid replacement video:

Love your video.
I have a 2014 Nissan Rogue SV AWD with 80,000 miles, would I be able to change only the canister filter and not change the internal filter?
very detailed tutorial video, i like that you follow the manual AND also snapshot it into the video, thumbs up for the effort, keep it up
I'm confused with the "flush" part. Do I need to buy extra quarts of NS3 for this, if so how many? Great video BTW!

The way you did this last time was so much simpler and I did it that way today.
Why don't you pour transmission fluid where the transmission dipstick tube goes into and watch the plughole when fluid overflows. This will give you the correct fluids. I did this before on my 2017 Nissan Altima. Great Video!
Awesome video brother!!!
Great vid but the guy sounds American. Why the fuck is he using celsius?
I have a 2013 Nissan Sentra and when I accelerate they only feel like jerks and it is difficult for me to advance, it seems that it is making the wrong changes for the situation that is needed! Do you think this maintenance will make it work well or will it be bad? first of all, Thanks
So putting in the 3 qts and draining 2times is all new fluid????? So I should buy 10 qts of fluid??????
Thank you so much for taking your time to explain it have a problem with my 2016 Nissan central my transmission keeps sleeping after washing your video I would like to try my self after I saw your video. Thank you sir
