Checking the level and condition of the variator fluid on the Nissan Beetle. Variators (CVT) Nissan Juke F15 Selection of materials for work

25.07.2019

During the operation of any vehicle, it is always necessary to conduct a daily inspection of the vehicle, at least for the absence of leaks of oils and fluids from the vehicle's systems. But when buying a new car, every driver has questions, but where and how to check the oil or fluid level of a particular system or unit. Of course, you can look at the instruction manual, but it is not always visible and clear where it is located. So further we will dispel the myth that the level transmission fluid in the variator Nissan Juke cannot be verified. It is possible and necessary. Let us remind you a little that the Xtronic CVT M6 variator is installed on all-wheel drive vehicles. It is important to remember that before checking the fluid level, it is necessary to carry out a number of actions, according to the Manual, namely:

The procedure for checking the fluid in the Nissan Beetle variator

1. Since the liquid must be 50-80 C before checking the level, for this you need to drive around the city. It will take about 10 minutes for the liquid in the variator to warm up to 50-80 C at an ambient temperature of 20 C.

2. After that, you need to install the car on level ground. And apply the parking brake.

3. When running on idling engine, pressing the brake pedal, move the selector lever through all positions.

4. Next, open the hood and look for the dipstick, and then remove it from the pipe. The dipstick is located between the battery and the engine. Figure 1 shows what it looks like. To remove it, you must press the latch and release.

Figure #1

5. Next, the verification procedure is as follows. It is necessary to take lint-free paper (rags cannot be used!). Wipe the dipstick. Insert the dipstick by turning it 180 degrees from the original installation position and push it until it stops in the nozzle. Then you need to move the selector lever to position P or N and make sure that the fluid level is in the specified range. Figure #2 shows the minimum point of the liquid level.

6. After checking the liquid level, it is necessary to place the probe in its original position, turning it until it locks.

Checking CVT Fluid Condition on a Nissan Juke

When checking the fluid level, it is imperative to pay attention to the condition of the fluid and, accordingly, draw further conclusions and find the cause that contributes to the disruption of the variator.

Fluid condition	Cause	Appropriate procedure
Lacquer (viscous state)	Change in the chemical state of the liquid due to exposure to high temperatures	Change CVT fluid and check transmission control unit and vehicle for faults (wiring harnesses, coolant lines, etc.)
Milky white or hazy	Water in the working fluid	Change the variator fluid and check the places possible hit water into variator fluid
WITH big amount metal particles	Excessive wear of friction surfaces	Change the working fluid and check the operation of the variator

Also, when checking the level, it is necessary to pay attention to the smell of the liquid. She shouldn't be hot.

Nowadays, CVTs are becoming especially popular. The high demand around the world for them is mainly due to technical progress- this type of transmission is the most modern development.

The Russian market is just beginning to develop CVT gearboxes - on this moment not many car owners will be able to say exactly what types of oils should be used in CVTs, in what volume and after what period of time to replace. To find out to clarify the answers to the questions posed, it is necessary to approach in detail the study of the CVT used in the Nissan Juke.

CVT gearbox is important element vehicle systems, characterized by the use high technology when creating it. Such complex variety The gearbox allows you to correctly distribute the motor load, while ensuring the most comfortable movement of the vehicle, excluding sharp jerks and failures. In addition to these properties, the variator is able to economically consume fuel.

All Nissan cars have CVT-type gearboxes, which are manufactured at the Japanese Jatco plant. This industry provides CVTs to most of the world's car manufacturers, while providing a guarantee for the first 120 thousand kilometers (with an initial resource of 180-200 thousand kilometers). However, this option is only possible if vehicle properly serviced. First of all, this concerns the replacement lubricant composition produced on time.

For a CVT, oil starvation can be a disastrous process, since its structural part consists of a large number moving elements. If their lubrication is not of high quality and timely, the friction between the parts will increase, which will negatively affect the entire structure as a whole. In addition, the right lubricant can prevent slippage of parts of the gearbox structure. In the case when the oil turns out to be of poor quality, and there is not enough lubrication, the operation of the entire gearbox system is disrupted.

An oil change in a Nissan Zhuk variator can be done both at a specialized point and with your own hands. This procedure does not have any particular difficulties, and even a driver without special skills can cope with it. In addition, most of the information can be found on the Internet, as well as many videos that detail how to change the lubricant in the variator.

According to technical regulations, level oily liquid V nissan variator Juke must be measured every 15 thousand kilometers (this corresponds scheduled maintenance). However, changing the oil in the variator is necessary only in case of emergency, since the manufacturer provides a guarantee for long term design service and fills oil in accordance with it.

Despite some technical shortcomings, CVTs are considered to be the most reliable types of gearboxes in comparison with automatic transmission. However, over time, negative changes can occur in the operation of the box - they will tell you that the gearbox needs to be replaced with transmission fluid. It is especially worth paying attention to:

Vehicle slippage;
Uncharacteristic gearbox vibrations;
Deterioration of vehicle power;
Decreased gear shifting.
In the case when such factors appear periodically, it is worth thinking about changing the transmission fluid.

The process of replacing transmission fluid in a Nissan Juke gearbox

Lubricant volume in Checkpoint Nissan Juke is 3 liters. It is this volume that is quite sufficient to exclude oil starvation engine. During the change of lubricant, you can also take care of updating the filter, since a contaminated filter element creates certain problems for the correct distribution of the oil fluid.

To start the change process gear lubricant, you need to decide what kind of oil you need for work. For Nissan Juke the best option will be original lubricating fluid Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2. It has high lubricating properties and prevents wrong work boxes. For a full volume, two canisters will be enough.

To successfully change the oil in the variator, prepare the following tools:

Spanners;
Screwdriver;
Capacity for draining waste material;
Rags;
Syringe (or funnel);
Gasket for gearbox pan.

The process of changing the oil in a CVT gearbox is as follows:

First of all, you need to install the car on a flyover or above viewing hole to provide access to the variator;
Next, you need to carefully unscrew the lid of the pallet;
The next stage is the removal of the old waste fluid;
After you need to remove the container with used oil and screw the plug;
The next step is to open the hood to find the filler hole;
Fill with oil, then check its level;
Start the engine and let it run for several minutes, periodically switching gears;
Subsequently, you need to check the oil level again and, if necessary, add fluid.

After that, you need to make a short trip, and then check the oil in the variator again. Next, you should periodically check its level to avoid oil starvation.

Maintenance of the Nissan Beetle, whether daily or routine, is a major factor in maintaining technical condition cars for a long time. But it is important to remember that how timely the machine will be subjected to maintenance, and for a long time and without failures, it will perform its functions as intended. Therefore, of course, it is necessary to observe the terms of maintenance described in the documents. But most cars after the end of the warranty are subject to maintenance either on their own or in car services. And if everything is done in a car service for the car owner, then when conducting independent maintenance, it is necessary to read and study the operation and maintenance manual, and, therefore, it all starts with the fact that questions arise, but how much, where, and what to fill and refuel. Therefore, in this material, as detailed as possible, information will be provided that answers these questions.

It is important to remember that there are restrictions on the use of fuels, oils and fluids. Therefore, when replacing fuels and lubricants in vehicle systems, you must strictly follow the instructions for operation and maintenance in the sections "Recommended operating materials And filling tanks aggregates and systems. You need to know that each owner, at his choice, uses fuel and lubricants in terms of brand names, but these oils and fluids must comply with the parameters indicated above in the table and in the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Usually, on the packaging of oils and liquids, the possible applicability to certain cars is indicated.

Where are the filler plugs and necks located on the Nissan Juke

Of course, many experienced motorists know the location of the main fuel fillers of the car, but newcomers to operation do not device aware car, not everyone knows. Therefore, in the illustrative picture engine compartment the location of the main fillers located under the hood of the Nissan Zhuk car is indicated.

1. Washer reservoir windshield and headlight washer (for some versions of the car);
2. Reservoir of the main brake cylinder / clutch actuator (for some vehicle versions);
3. Dipstick for checking the engine oil level;
4. Lid filler neck for motor oil;
5. Radiator plug;
6. Reservoir of the main brake cylinder / clutch actuator (for some vehicle versions). On the example of this car, this tank is located on the left in the direction of the car;
7. Expansion tank engine cooling systems.

As seen under the hood of the Nissan Zhuk, the main fillers for oils and liquids are indicated. It is important to know that to check the oil level in a car's variator or manual transmission for a car owner who has encountered operation for the first time this car for the first time it will not always be clear how to do it and what level should be. So, using the example of a manual transmission, we will analyze where and how to check the oil level.

In figure No. 1, under the number 1, the drain plug is indicated, and under the number 2, filler plug oil on the Nissan Zhuk (how it looks is shown in Figure No. 2), i.e. its location on the side of the box crankcase. The oil level should be at the edge of the filler neck. On a car with a variator, to check the fluid level, there is a dipstick in it, which, in order to pull it out of the variator's filling pipe, you must press the lock.

Based on the above and what has been said, it is important to know that all the nuances for checking, replacing or adding oil or liquid to a specific unit are described in the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the car.

P.S. Dear owners nissan cars Juke! A big request, if you have your own information on this topic, tell us about it in the comments or use the form feedback with the administration.

Changing the oil in the Nissan Zhuk gearbox is most often associated with the repair of the automatic transmission itself, or it is replaced with a new one in the course of repairing oil leaks, since it must be drained for work. The oil in the automatic transmission is filled in by the manufacturer once for the entire life of the car. Oil change in Automatic Nissan Juke is recommended to be entrusted to professionals, but in some cases you can handle this operation on your own.

Functions ATF oils in automatic transmission Nissan Beetle:

effective lubrication of rubbing surfaces and mechanisms;
reduction of mechanical load on the nodes;
heat dissipation;
removal of microparticles resulting from corrosion or wear of parts.

The color of ATF oil for automatic transmission Nissan Juke allows not only to distinguish oils by type, but also helps to find out in the event of a leak from which system the fluid escaped. For example, the oil in automatic transmission and power steering has a red tint, antifreeze is green, and in the engine it is yellowish.

Reasons for oil leakage from an automatic transmission in a Nissan Beetle:

wear of automatic transmission seals;
wear of the shaft surfaces, the occurrence of a gap between the shaft and the sealing element;
wear of the automatic transmission sealing element and the speedometer drive shaft;
backlash input shaft automatic transmission;
damage to the sealing layer in the joints between parts of the automatic transmission: sump, automatic transmission housing, crankcase, clutch housing;
loosening of the bolts that provide the connection of the above parts of the automatic transmission;

A low oil level in a Nissan Juke automatic transmission is the main cause of clutch failure. Due to the low fluid pressure, the friction clutches are poorly pressed against the steel discs and do not have enough contact with each other. As a result friction linings in the Nissan Juke automatic transmission, they become very hot, charred and destroyed, significantly contaminating the oil.

Due to lack of oil or poor quality oil in automatic transmission Nissan Juke:

plungers and channels of the valve body are clogged with mechanical particles, which leads to a shortage of oil in the packages and provokes wear of the bushing, rubbing parts of the pump, etc.;
overheat and wear out quickly steel discs gearboxes;
rubber-coated pistons, thrust discs, clutch drum, etc. overheat and burn;
the valve body wears out and becomes unusable.

Contaminated automatic transmission oil cannot fully remove heat and provide high-quality lubrication of parts, which leads to various faults automatic transmission Nissan Juke. Heavily contaminated oil is an abrasive suspension that, under high pressure, creates a sandblasting effect. Intense impact on the valve body leads to thinning of its walls at the locations of the control valves, as a result of which numerous leaks can occur.
You can check the oil level in the Nissan Juke automatic transmission using a dipstick. The dipstick has two pairs of marks - the upper pair of Max and Min allows you to determine the level in hot oil, the lower pair - in cold. Using the dipstick, it is easy to check the condition of the oil: you need to drop the oil onto a clean white cloth.

When choosing a Nissan Juke automatic transmission oil for replacement, you should be guided by a simple principle: it is best to use the oil recommended by Nissan. Meanwhile, instead of mineral oil you can fill in semi-synthetic or synthetic, but in no case should you use oil "class below" from the prescribed one.

Synthetic oil for automatic transmission Nissan Zhuk is called "non-replaceable", it is poured for the entire life of the car. Such oil does not lose its properties under the influence high temperature and is designed for a very long period of use of the Nissan Juke. But we must not forget about the appearance of a mechanical suspension as a result of friction clutch wear with a very significant mileage. If the automatic transmission has been operated for some time in conditions of lack of oil, it is necessary to check the degree of its contamination and, if necessary, replace it.

Ways to change the oil in a Nissan Juke automatic transmission:

Partial oil change in a Nissan Juke box;
Complete oil change in a Nissan Beetle box;

A partial oil change in a Nissan Juke automatic transmission can be done independently. To do this, just unscrew the drain on the pallet, driving the car onto the overpass, and collect the oil in a container. Usually up to 25-40% of the volume flows out, the remaining 60-75% remain in the torque converter, that is, in fact, this is an update, not a replacement. To update the oil in the Nissan Zhuk automatic transmission in this way to the maximum, 2-3 replacements will be required.

A complete oil change for the automatic transmission of a Nissan Juke is carried out using an automatic transmission oil change unit, auto repair specialists. In this case, you will need more oil ATF than the Nissan Juke automatic transmission can accommodate. Flushing takes one and a half or double the volume of fresh ATF. Cost will be more expensive partial replacement, and not every car service provides such a service.
Partial ATF oil change in the Nissan Juke automatic transmission according to a simplified scheme:

We unscrew the drain plug, drain the old ATF oil;
We unscrew the automatic transmission pan, which, in addition to the bolts holding it, is treated along the contour with a sealant.
We get access to the automatic transmission filter, it is advisable to change it at each oil change, or rinse it.
At the bottom of the pallet there are magnets that are necessary to collect metal dust and chips.
We clean the magnets and wash the pallet, wipe it dry.
Install the automatic transmission filter in place.
We install the automatic transmission pan in place, replacing the gasket of the automatic transmission pan if necessary.
We twist the drain plug, replacing the gasket drain plug for automatic transmission.

We fill the oil through the technological filler hole (where the automatic transmission dipstick is located), using the dipstick we control the oil level in the automatic transmission to a cold one. After changing the oil in the automatic transmission, it is important to check its level after driving 10-20 km, already with the automatic transmission warmed up. Top up to level if necessary. The regularity of changing the oil depends not only on the mileage, but also on the nature of the ride on the Nissan Juke. You should focus not on the recommended mileage, but on the degree of contamination of the oil, systematically checking it.
