How much does it cost to change CVT fluid?
I was able to talk to Nissan and gather the correct information necessary to change your CVT Fluid without expensive tools. Nissan charges around $300 just for a simple fluid change, so here is how you can change your own CVT Transmission Fluid for way less $$!
How do you change the CVT fluid in a Nissan?

How often do CVT transmissions need to be changed?
1) NO transmission fluid is lifetime — it still needs to be changed. 2) CVT’s are not as reliable and durable as regular automatic transmissions — when they go out, you can replace it for several thousand dollars or get rid of the car for little in return. More Honda CVT reliability can be found here. 2. Nissan CVT problems
What kind of fluid do you use to service a Nissan CVT?
Use NS-2 green fluid to service these vehicles. New, unused service replacement CVTs may have some residual “blue” NS-3 fluid. However, these service replacement CVTs should be filled with NS-2 green fluid. No draining is necessary. Do not use Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) or Manual Transmission Fluid in a Nissan CVT as it may damage the CVT.

How to erase CVT fluid degradation level data?
Erasing CVT fluid degradation level data: TCM records the degradation level calculated from the vehicle driving status; it is necessary to erase the degradation level data recorded by the TCM. 1. Check the serial number (part 1): write down the serial number of the new transmission assembly. 2. Check the serial number (part 2) with CONSULT. a.
