NS-1

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have had my box repaired recently. The car is a Primera 2ltr auto with hcvt. The guy said he has filled it with Texaco dexron3 atf. Nissan recommend using only their own cvt fluid - NS1, but they would, wouldn't they? Had a route around online, and the only other company that says their fluid is compatible is Eneos...CVT FLUID. I've driven about 200 miles since it was fixed and the box is as smooth as ever. Anyone got any thoughts? 8-)

	if it aint broke, dont fix it. i had a similar querey with a previa auto, it states use Type T-IV fluide but when i changed it, i put in Dex3 by mistak. I was told the only difference is the life of the fluid.

	To be honest, knowing how fragile these gearboxes are (i have a broken one sat on my drive) i would be tempted to use the recommended fluid. I know it is expensive but i would not be leaving dextron in it. Mick

	thats the wrong stuff aint it? its not the ATF you want, NS-1 book price is like �10 a litre. They will discount you it tho, I paid �25 for 5 litres last time. DEXRON III is waaaay too thick for the CVT box (I'd be very careful, I looked after mine and now its sat on Mick's drive as scrap metal lol)

	(I'd be very careful, I looked after mine and now its sat on Mick's drive as scrap metal lol) So what went wrong with yours? I'm starting to think these cvt boxes are a bit delicate. I had a Bluebird prior to this car. Never had a problem with the box, just changed the ATF every year. It'd done just less than 150,000 when I got rid of it.
