CVT FLUIDCVT FLUIDChecking CVT FluidPFP:KLE50AUCS005XNFLUID LEVEL CHECKFluid 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 theCVT fluid. When ambient temperature is 20 C (68 F), it takesabout 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 theselector lever throughout the entire shift range and return it tothe “P” position.BCVTDESMA146B5.Press the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to release the lockand pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charging pipe.FGHSCIA1933E6.Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Then rotate the CVTfluid level gauge 180 and re-insert it into the CVT charging pipeas far as it will go.CAUTION:Always use lint free paper towels to wipe fluid off the CVTfluid level gauge.IJKLSCIA1931E7.MRemove the CVT fluid level gauge and check that the fluid levelis within the specified range as shown. If the fluid level is at orbelow the low side of the range, add the necessary specifiedNISSAN CVT fluid through the CVT charging pipe.Fluid grade:Refer to MA-14, "MR20DE" .CAUTION: Only use specified NISSAN CVT fluid. Do not overfill the CVT.SCIA1932E8.Install the CVT fluid level gauge to the CVT fluid charging pipe until it locks.CAUTION:When CVT fluid level gauge is installed into the CVT fluid charging pipe, make sure that the CVTfluid level gauge is securely locked in place.Revision: December 2006CVT-152007 Sentra

Do not mix with other fluid. Using CVT fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will deteriorate in driveability andCVT durability, and may damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty. When filling CVT fluid, take care not to scatter fluid on heat generating parts such as exhaust. Sufficiently shake the container of CVT fluid before using.4. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle in an urban area. 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).5. Check CVT fluid level and condition. Refer to CVT-15, "Checking CVT Fluid" .6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 if CVT fluid is contaminated.CAUTION:Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-III after changing CVT fluid.Revision: December 2006CVT-162007 Sentra
