The car needs to be idling & warm when unbolting the fluid level plug (when checking the fluid level). The fluid should be a very thin fine stream when coming out. Not dripping like on the video. If its dripping add a half of quart more, cycle the gears and recheck.

Tip, from a good source, always, always remove or loosen the fill plug first, if the fill plug is ceased or stuck to the pan and you happen to strip it out while removing it after you have drained the oil, you will not be able to refill the pan with fresh oil or your car will be non-operational until you figure a way to remove your fill plug to add new oil. Also, it is recommended that the transmission oil is drained at running temperature, drive the car for 15-20 minutes and let idle for another 2-5 minutes, let it cool down for a few minutes then drain.

These cvts have a recall so you could go to dealer and he’ll put a new one. For the dipstick just bend that piece of metal the plastic cap will work fine after wards. You need to drain the oil from the 19mm plug and put back 3.5 litres CVT oil. Don’t play with the overflow or filter and gaskets etc as the filter is not under pressure to replace it like in engine oil filters. And the washer on the plug is re-usable you don’t need to spend lots of money 2014-17 pathfinders are cheap now to resale. The dealer does not change filters or gaskets etc . 15-20 mins job. Thanks

Thanks for helping me removing the dipstick

Love your video, how much degrees should the CVT temp be at, when checking the CVT fluid on a 2014 Nissan Rogue SV AWD?

[aamirqat]

Awesome job thanks for you’re effort some one inform me there is filter you need to change filter

[eldnahym]

Did half a quart drain out of the overfill after you refilled or did you only put 3 and a half quarts in and not the whole 4 quarts?

[adriandelgado]

Had question did u ever change the transmission filter by chance? I have a 2016 pathfinder

[elijahturner]

So this method should work on 2013 JX35. Infiniti wants $300 just to check the transmission fluid. I have 180k on car, of which I put 60k (car used and purchased from an Infiniti dealer). Having put 60k, do you think its time to change out transmission fluid?

[HomieTez]

I Think Someone Else Asked The Same Question 🤔But, you’re Not Going To Change The Filter?

[us-nic]

Hi, thanks for the video. Both plugs are Reverse-Thread Bolts? Thank you.

[johnang]

wait, you loose the drain plug clockwise? not the regular counter-clockwise?

[malikammar]

@adezulfikar5115 ... You drain 3.2 why you fill 4 quart?

[wnduffy]

Without ODB temp how did you make sure temp @113 as recommended?

[FriendlingIlocano]

I have 2018 pathfinder. U only need 4 quarts ? I need to chance mine. In the dealer they estimated me $350 for that.

[AlammBoost]

How many quarters for Nissan Pathfinder 2013?

[chrisd]

Is that the first time you've used a ratchet wrench?

[Dexion]

Wow that oil was Black like the night, how many miles were on this thing I wonder.

[jerryding]

I think your car needs to be running while checking the level.

Are the drain bolts left hand threads? it looks like it in the video
