For the Nissan Beetle to work properly, the car owner should change the oil in the variator in a timely manner. For the change, an original car oil with the recommended technical characteristics is used.

When do you need to change the oil in the variator?

According to the regulations of the vehicle manufacturers Nissan Juke, this car does not need to change the oil in the variator. Russian masters still recommend monitoring the condition of the liquid and making a timely change.

Transmission fluid requires replacement if it:

• changed the usual color;
• smell;
• transparency;
• full of solids.

The frequency of changing the oil in the variator on a Nissan Beetle depends on the owner's driving style and vehicle operating conditions. It is recommended to make a change every 50 thousand km.

How to choose oil for Nissan Beetle?

When choosing an oil for replacement in a Nissan Juke variator, the car owner should focus on the following tips:

1. If the vehicle is purchased in the salon, the manufacturer will offer an original oil fluid, which must be purchased.
2. If the car is bought from the secondary market, then the marking of the filled oil is indicated in the service book.

It is recommended to fill the variator with oil Nissan Juke Mobil1 5W-50 Supersyn PeekLife.

Stages of changing the oil in the variator Nissan Zhuk

In what cases does a car owner need to replace the oil fluid in the Nissan Zhuk variator?

Replacement signs:

1. The car is slipping.
2. When the gearbox is operating, extraneous noise and vibration are heard.
3. The motor has lost power for no apparent reason.
4. The car does not start off the first time and stalls.

To change the oil in the Nissan Zhuk variator with his own hands, the car owner will need the following tools and materials:

• original transmission fluid;
• professional set of wrenches;
• screwdriver;
• sealing gasket;
• rubber gloves and rags;
• syringe;
• container for waste liquid.

Step-by-step instructions for changing the oil in the variator on a Nissan Juke:

1. The vehicle is installed on an overpass. Before installation, the car engine is warmed up so that the oil reaches the required temperature. Warming up the oil fluid is necessary for a more thorough drainage of the fluid with all deposits.
2. The next step is to unscrew the sump cover and drain the used car oil. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes.
3. The pan cover is screwed back on.
4. The container with the used car oil is removed and the filler hole is located.
5. A new oil fluid is filled in and its level is checked.
6. Engine starting.

Oil change in the variator Nissan Note

The above procedure for changing the oil in the Nissan Note variator is carried out according to the scheme described for the Nissan Beetle. The change will require the following tools and materials:

• head for 9 and 10;
• hexagon 5;
• container for waste liquid;
• butter.

The procedure for replacing the oil fluid in the variator on the Nissan Note:

1. Using a head 10, the bolts on the pallet are unscrewed.
2. The paper filter is unscrewed.
3. With a 9 head, the drain hole is unscrewed and the used oil is drained.
4. The sump with magnets is cleaned and a new gasket is installed.
5. The assembly is carried out in the reverse order and a new car oil is poured.
6. The Nissan Note engine warms up, then turns off and the fluid level is checked.

If nothing leaks, then the process of changing the oil in the variator is complete.

Starting the engine after changing the oil in the variator

After changing the oil in the Nissan Beetle variator, the vehicle engine starts with its own hands. After starting, the car is allowed to run at idle speed. At the same moment, the car owner works in the gearbox in several positions. This procedure is carried out to enable the motor oil to lubricate all the variator parts.

The car is turned off and the car owner checks the fluid level. The check is carried out with a measuring probe. If the level is not higher than the maximum mark of the dipstick, then the process of replacing the car oil in the Nissan Beetle variator is completed.

Replacing NS-2 oil with NS-3, features and consequences

05.10.2017

The rather popular NISSAN model, along with the QASHKAI J10, received a 1.6-liter (HR16DE) version with a non-turbo engine, probably one of the most unsuccessful transmissions in terms of minimum resource.

On average, the transmission of the same QASHKAI J10 with a two-liter MR20 engine manages 250,000 km without problems, which is not often found in modern cars.

But with a 1.6-liter engine, the designers made one trick, which turned out to be fatal, and the rare CVT JF015 (RE0F11A) reaches 100,000 km. Consider this fatal constructor error.

The whole problem is initially in economy and ecology.

A very small motor is installed on the car, neither power nor moment of which is in any way enough for driving in city mode. To give at least some accelerating dynamics, an automatic two-stage transmission was integrated into the box with a gear ratio of 1.8 in first gear to 1 in second.

In addition to the usual continuously variable variator with a gear ratio of 2.20-0.55, after the pulleys with a conventional CVT belt, a two-stage automatic transmission is installed, the planetary gear of which is visible in the photo.

The design is very delicate, there is practically no safety margin, and the main problem is that the sun gear breaks off from the drum.

Thin metal, high revs - all this leads to such consequences.

Initially, the idea was good: light pulleys rotate with engine speed, and then the lack of engine power is compensated for by expanding the gear ratios - but not due to the size (diameter) of the pulleys, but due to the stepped gearbox. Thus, with compact dimensions, a transmission ratio of 4 can be obtained at the start of movement. The shifting of the stepped transmission occurs at 60 km / h, it is less noticeable, like a jerk when the torque converter is locked at 20 km / h, and is more calmly transferred by a weak motor, which by the time the 2nd gear is switched is already spun to high revs. But in life, such a car constantly drives at high engine speeds, and therefore, transmission elements. All this leads to its premature failure.

The oil used in it also played a very important role. Initially, this transmission was not only innovative in this - it removed the so-called "STEP MOTOR".

This electric machine moved the valve stem responsible for changing the gear ratios in the CVT, in other words: "she changed gears (virtual)". The main disadvantage of transmissions, where the gear change was controlled by the command of the STEP MOTOR unit, is their inertia, as well as inaccuracy of control associated with the inability to determine the position of its rod in some transient modes. New types of transmissions do not have such a device (including JF015). Here, gear control is implemented by linear solenoids. The inertia of such a system is an order of magnitude lower, the control accuracy is higher. But there are also disadvantages. First of all, technologically it is made with smaller clearances and for more fluid oil.

(lower viscosity). Old NS-2 oil is no longer quite suitable for such CVTs, and this is especially true at low temperatures. High viscosity leads to a low pumping rate - oil flow in the thin gaps of the control valves, the cross section of which has become even smaller. Recovering themselves, the engineers released a new NS-3 oil with different characteristics, but about most of the cars were sold with NS-2s, and things started to get even more interesting. In an effort to reduce damage to the drivetrain, NISSAN conducted revocable

(service companies), which our dealers, as always, ignored. This resulted in massive damage to all transmissions on JUKE and QASHKAI with 1.6 HR16DE engines and a CVT such as JF015.

Due to the general confusion and slovenliness, dealers began to flood NS-3, and this led to jerks in the CVT "cold".

In October 2013, a circular was issued obliging to replace the software of the CVT control units when changing the NS-2 oil to NS-3.

Excerpt from it.

Then, in January 2014, due to confusion in the types of fluids used, NISSAN issued a second circular, where it explained where you can change NS-2 to NS-3 without consequences.

But during operation it turned out that the belt starts to slip on NS-3 CVT JF015 oil during heavy traffic, which also leads to damage to the transmission. And all software replacement procedures in 2013 turned out to be wrong. The CVT control programs contained errors that were eliminated only in 2017, and finally they released modified firmware for the blocks.

Below is a table of modified software for CVT control units for J10 and F15. At one time, the owners of XTRAIL and TEANA also had to reprogram the blocks.

Conventionally, for today, whatever firmware of the CVT unit you have, in order to save the transmission resource, you need to replace the oil with NS-3 and reprogram the CVT unit if your firmware differs from the tabular one.

To do this, you need to check the unit firmware version with a scanner (as in the photo) and compare it with the table. In this example, we see the firmware version 1KA0E (the first digits for all CVT units are the same-31036), and we look at the table - there is an update. After reprogramming (with new NS-3 oil), reset learning (accumulated parameters) and carry out a road test to teach the transmission.

On the corrected control program, the transmission works much better, according to the owners' feedback, the dynamics are better, and the fuel consumption is lower. Before changing the CVT control program, we always change the oil to a new (fresh) one. The fact is that after reprogramming, the accumulated training data is erased and on the old (dirty oil) training is incorrect, especially if the oil has exhausted its resource and its parameters are far from tabular due to aging.

Regarding pouring non-original oils into the CVT and the consequences has already been said more than once. We look at the parameters of the kinematic viscosity of NS-2 and NS-3 oils in the tables below. We are interested in the relative viscosity at a temperature of 40 degrees and 100.

NS-3

It seems to many that the parameters are insignificant and what's the difference, you can fill in another non-original oil or even "don't understand what". But in reality, even such a deviation in viscosity led to jerks at temperatures below zero and slipping of the belt at high temperatures and loads.

What the engineers wanted and what they failed.

Initially the problem is in climatic conditions and machine operation. Drivers do not warm up their vehicles and start driving immediately. In these CVTs, the oil is heated by the engine coolant, when it warms up, it heats the oil in the CVT. But no one heats the engine because of the economy of gasoline, the oil is too thick, it is poorly pumped in thin gaps, jerks occur.

Reducing the oil viscosity for the type of transmission led to a drop in viscosity "hot", the belt began to slip under load. In fact, NS-3 is made for drivers who do not want to warm up their cars before driving, because when fully warmed up to 100 degrees, its viscosity is lower and this led to belt slippage and damage to the CVT.

The new CVT control program precisely increases the pressure at high temperatures of NS-3 oil, compensating for its low viscosity programmatically. Yes, there are countries and regions with a warmer climate where the problem of warming up the oil in CVT is not so urgent, but in our country it does not just go away. The car needs to be warmed up. This applies to all vehicles with any type of transmission - there must be an operating temperature. For cars with a START-STOP button, there is a good technical solution - we set the autostart by activating the functions of the native key fob - pressing the door close button three times in a row: the engine starts automatically. All cars equipped with auto-start or warmed up by the owner met with mileage and under 300,000 km without problems in CVT, these are 2-liter engines and above.

conclusions

In CVT JF015, it is imperative to change the oil to NS-3 and reprogram the unit with retraining and road test. In the old type of transmission, where STEP MOTOR is used, it is better to leave the NS-2 and warm up the car. This applies to XTRAIL T31, QASHKAI J10, TEANA J32 - they had revocable replacing the control program, similar to JUKE, and many of these procedures were carried out, including ours. For all new cars, such as XTRAIL T32 or QASHKAI J11, the body (from 2014) - only NS-3 and block reprogramming. There is no point in reprogramming the blocks without changing the oil to fresh, it doesn't matter NS-2 or NS-3. On old, dirty oil, the training of pressure modulators is incorrect.

Nissan Juke is a popular Japanese SUV, one of the most fashionable and unusual cars in terms of design. It is recommended to regularly service this car, and thereby be confident in its reliability. So, one of the important maintenance procedures is changing the oil in the box. This procedure does not require professional skills and therefore can be carried out regularly to reduce the stress on the engine. In addition, the performance of the variator has a beneficial effect on fuel efficiency. This article focuses on changing gearbox oil using the example of a Nissan Juke with a CVT. Important nuances and parameters of the liquid are presented to the attention that should be remembered during such an important procedure.

Replacement schedule

For the first time, the oil in the Nissan Juke gearbox is changed after 60 thousand kilometers - this despite the fact that the warranty period of the variator can reach 180-200 thousand kilometers, given the favorable operating conditions. If the car is often used in difficult conditions, for example, it often drives on dusty roads, then the replacement interval will have to be reduced to 30-40 thousand kilometers. In any case, the shorter the interval, the more reliable it is for the power plant and transmission.

Oil change nuances

The procedure for changing the transmission fluid in the Nissan Juke variator is carried out in accordance with the required parameters. Note that the most reliable and durable is factory oil, which was poured into the checkpoint at the factory. This is the original grease, and the next time it is necessary to fill it. If this is not possible, you should select a fluid with parameters similar to the original grease. In any case, sooner or later an oil change will be needed. Let's highlight the main signs indicating the need for this procedure:

• Vehicle slip
• Noises and vibrations in the transmission
• Sudden drop in motor power
• From time to time, the engine stalls, it is impossible to move normally
• Impossible to drive fast enough as the dynamic parameters of the Nissan Juke allow

How much to fill

The recommended volume of fluid for the Nissan Juke CVT is three liters. This is the minimum volume at which oil starvation can be prevented. In addition to changing the lubricant in the variator, during this procedure it is also advisable to replace the oil filter, which is considered disposable. It is worth purchasing two cans of oil - so that there is a margin in case of additional liquid topping.

Selection of materials for work

• Genuine Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2 transmission oil
• Set of wrenches
• Tools, including a screwdriver
• Towel, rags, rubber gloves
• Syringe
• Sealing gasket
• New oil filter
• Waste liquid drain pan

Sequence of work

1. The car is installed on an overpass. First, you need to warm up the engine so that the oil reaches operating temperature. It is believed that the hot liquid will pour out much more, and together with dirt deposits and metal shavings
2. We unscrew the lid of the pallet, drain the old liquid into a prepared pallet. This process takes about 30 minutes.
3. Screw the sump cover back on, and move the container with the old oil to the side
4. After draining the oil, we proceed to the most important procedure - filling in new oil. To do this, we find the corresponding filler hole in the engine compartment, and fill it with fresh liquid, periodically checking its level
5. Start the engine and idle for a few minutes. At this point, it is possible to operate the gearbox in several positions to allow the grease to spread to all components of the variator.
6. Stop the engine and check the fluid level again using a dipstick. If the filled oil is not higher than the maximum mark on the dipstick, then the process of changing the fluid in the Nissan Juke variator has been successfully completed.

Output

It is important not only to change the oil in a timely manner, but also to choose only a high-quality lubricant that is approved by Nissan. In this case, you should be guided by the viscosity and tolerance parameters specified in the operating instructions for the Nissan Juke, and according to them, you should already choose the appropriate oil for the Nissan Juke gearbox.

In our time, CVT transmissions 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 master CVT gearboxes - at the moment, not many car owners will be able to say exactly what types of oils need to be used in CVTs, in what volume and after what period of time to replace them. To find out to clarify the answers to the questions posed, it is necessary to approach in detail the study of the variator box used in the Nissan Juke.

Features variator Nissan Juke

A variator-type gearbox is an important element of the car system, characterized by the use of high technologies in its creation. Such a complex type of gearbox allows you to correctly distribute the motor load, while ensuring the most comfortable movement of the vehicle, excluding sudden jerks and dips. In addition to these properties, the variator is able to economically consume fuel.

All Nissan cars have a CVT type gearbox, which are produced at the Japanese Jatco plant. This industry provides variators for 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 the vehicle is properly maintained. First of all, this concerns the replacement of the lubricant composition, made on time.

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

Changing the oil in the Nissan Beetle variator can be done both at a specialized point and by hand. This procedure does not have any particular difficulties, and even a driver without special skills can handle it. In addition, most of the information can be found on the Internet, as well as many videos, which detail how to change the lubricant in the variator.

According to technical regulations, the oil level in the Nissan Juke CVT must be measured every 15 thousand kilometers (this corresponds to scheduled maintenance). However, changing the oil in the variator is necessary only if absolutely necessary, since the manufacturer provides a guarantee for a long service life of the structure and fills in oil in accordance with it.

Despite some technical flaws, CVTs are considered to be the most reliable types of gearboxes in comparison with an 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 the transmission fluid. You should especially pay attention to:

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

The process of replacing the transmission fluid in the Nissan Juke gearbox

The volume of lubricant in the Nissan Juke gearbox is 3 liters. It is this volume that is quite sufficient to exclude engine oil starvation. When changing the lubricant, you can also take care of updating the filter, since a dirty filter element creates certain problems for the correct distribution of the oil fluid.

To start the process of changing the gear lubricant, you need to decide what kind of oil you need to work. For Nissan Juke, the best option would be the original Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2. It has high lubricating properties and prevents the gearbox from malfunctioning. For the full volume, two canisters are sufficient.

For a successful oil change in the variator, the following tools should be prepared:

• Spanners;
• Screwdriver;
• Tank for draining waste material;
• Rags;
• Syringe (or funnel);
• Gearbox pallet gasket.

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

1. First of all, you need to install the car on an overpass or above a viewing pit to provide access to the variator;
2. Next, you need to carefully unscrew the pallet cover;
3. The next step is to remove the old waste fluid;
4. Then you need to remove the container with the used oil and screw the plug;
5. The next step is to open the hood to find the filler hole;
6. Fill in oil, then check its level;
7. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes, periodically changing gears;
8. 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.

The main feature of the Nissan Beetle is that almost all of its models have a variator - a new gearbox, an improved version of the machine. It is necessary to change the fluid in the variator in the same way as any filling fluid in the car.

Timing of oil change in automatic transmission Nissan

Oil change in automatic transmission on Nissan Zhuk, according to the manufacturer's manual, is not required. The original grease, filled at the factory, is quite enough for the entire operational life of the machine. However, given the peculiarities of our roads and climate, a periodic change of lubricant is necessary every 45-60 thousand kilometers.

According to the regulations, every 15,000 km it is necessary to check the fluid level in the variator in order to avoid the appearance of some negative points.

Signs for replacement:

• slipping of the car;
• the presence of vibrations, knocking and noise in the box;
• decrease in engine power;
• the gearbox response to driver movements worsens.

If there is not enough oil in the Nissan Juke automatic transmission or it has reached its end of life:

• the plunger and the valve body channels are clogged with particles, causing an oil deficiency;
• the temperature rises and the discs of the box are erased due to friction;
• the clutch drum, pistons and discs overheat and burn out;
• the valve body wears out.

The filling volume of the grease is 3 liters. This is exactly how much is needed to prevent oil starvation of the checkpoint on the Beetle and update the fluid in it.

Oil change in automatic transmission on Nissan Zhuk

List of required tools for changing oil in automatic transmission in Nissan Juke:

• canister of new NS-2 or NS-3 oil - it is this lubricant that is filled in by the factory, and you can safely pour it in;
• box pallet laying;
• set of wrenches;
• new filter;
• new ring for the drain plug;
• waste liquid container;
• rags;
• latex gloves;
• clean rags.

It is preferable to take original oil for NISSAN JUKE - NS-2, NS-3 or Nissan SVT Fluid.
Before starting work, the car should be placed on a repair pit or overpass. An oil change in an automatic transmission in a Nissan Beetle occurs on a warmed-up engine - this contributes to the rapid drainage of mining from all channels and units of the box.

It is important to take into account that the liquid at the outlet is hot, and in order not to get burns, you should take care of your safety: overalls and work with gloves will prevent unwanted contact of the oil with the body.

Partial oil change in an automatic transmission

Do-it-yourself partial oil change in a Nissan Beetle automatic transmission is a simplified scheme of work, when the lubricant is drained and poured, without cleaning the sump and flushing the gearbox.

Replacement is carried out in the following sequence:

• Unscrew the drain plug and drain the old oil into a container.
• Unscrew the pallet of the box and peel off from the sealant.
• Replace the filter or rinse and refit the seat.
• Find magnets at the bottom of the pallet to collect chips and dust, clean them with a cloth.
• Rinse the pallet and dry it, then reinstall it.
• Replace the pallet gasket.
• Replace the drain plug gasket and tighten it.
• Pour new product through the inspection hole by pulling out the dipstick.
• Check the lubricant level on the dipstick on a cold one.

Tighten the filler hole and drive 10-15 km, checking the level on the hot automatic transmission.

Complete oil change in an automatic transmission

A complete oil change in an automatic transmission on a Nissan Juke includes flushing the variator - one of the mandatory procedures in full operation.

• After the glass is liquid, it is necessary to tighten the drain plug and unscrew the filler hole.
• Fill with special flushing agent and start the engine.
• Without jerking, we switch all gears in turn, lingering for a couple of seconds on each.
• Stop the engine and drain all fluid through the drain.
• Unscrew the crankcase and drain off the remaining mass.
• Clean the crankcase surface with acetone and reinstall.
• Add new oil in the same way and check the level.

On this, independent work on a complete change of the lubricant in the automatic transmission Nissan Zhuk is over.

After updating the fluid in the gearbox, it is necessary to periodically check its level and top up. Since, after the first trips, some of the oil is distributed over the nodes, channels and gearbox components.
