Main features of transmission oils for NISSAN cars

Description of original oils

Each original Nissan gear oil is produced on a high-quality synthetic base using an advanced additive package.
The main difference between the products lies precisely in the quantity and structure of additives, which are specially selected taking into account various types of automatic transmissions.

Nissan Matic D

Nissan ATF Matic D oil is a synthetic transmission fluid for automatic transmissions of Nissan and Infiniti cars. The product is approved for use in assemblies equipped with an electronic locking system and E-AT.

Nissan Matic Fluid D contains oxidation inhibitors and prevents the formation of varnish deposits on transmission parts. The product is resistant to foaming and reliably protects the unit from wear and corrosion.

Nissan Matic S

Nissan Matic S ATF is a synthetic lubricant for five-speed automatic transmissions of Infiniti and Nissan cars. The product replaces the discontinued Matic J in the US.

Transmission oil has excellent friction characteristics, eliminates jerking when changing gears and significantly increases the resource of uninterrupted operation of the unit.

Nissan Matic J

Automotive oil is intended for the latest generation Nissan and Infiniti automatic transmissions, including units equipped with the Slip Lock-up system. The product is designed specifically to meet the needs of the automaker and, if replaced in a timely manner, can significantly increase the service life of the transmission.

Important! It is the only lubricant that can be poured into the automatic transmission of Skyline and Stagea cars with a three-liter engine.

What kind of oil should I put in the Toyota Opa automatic transmission?

The 4-speed automatic transmission of the Toyota Opa is filled with original TOYOTA ATF T-IV transmission oil (part number 08886810165). For a partial replacement with a filter change, about 5 liters of oil will be required. A partial replacement should be enough for 20-30 thousand kilometers. If you change it completely, it will take 8-10 liters and this will be enough for 60,000 km.

The article number of the automatic transmission filter is (35330-120405), the pan gasket also needs to be replaced - article number 35168-12060. also change the sealing ring of the drain plug (art. 35178-30010).

Replacement scheme:

1) unscrew the drain plug, drain the oil2) unscrew the automatic transmission pan, remove it - there will still be oil there3) remove the filter, change it, wash the pan, put it back4) tighten the drain plug

5) pour fresh oil through the filler hole in the engine compartment. This is done using a hose or a syringe with a hose.

Release forms and articles

Sales locations and price range

Changing the oil in an automatic transmission is not a cheap pleasure, especially if the motorist decides to fill in the original product. The most expensive option will be to purchase a NISSAN ATF S, where the price per liter starts at 1,100 rubles in online stores. Products with the letters J and D in the name will be a third cheaper. Here the cost of a liter slightly exceeds 700 rubles and is approximately at the same level.

You can find articles in online stores and stationary points of sale. An important condition that must be met when purchasing is that you should purchase oils only from a trusted seller, otherwise there is a high risk of getting a fake.

Reviews

I always only fill oil into a Nissan automatic. If the manufacturer recommends it, then, in my opinion, it is better not to argue.

I believe that any oil can be poured into a Nissan automatic transmission, as long as it meets the tolerances. Buying an original means overpaying for the brand, but it still all comes from the same barrel.

I never think twice about choosing oil for a Nissan automatic. I only take original ones. On it there is no fear that the box will be covered, and the gears are engaged more adequately.

Cars equipped with an automatic transmission are distinguished by a high level of driving comfort, but due to the complexity of the structural structure of the automatic transmission, it requires more attention from the car owner than a mechanic. To care for the gearbox, special ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) lubricants are used to ensure stable operation of the device. Transmission fluids for automatic transmissions perform not only the function of lubricating and protecting mechanisms from friction, but also removing heat and removing wear particles. Over time, ATF loses its properties and the gearbox requires replacing the lubricant. This rule applies to all types of devices, regardless of manufacturer. Changing the oil in the automatic transmission of Nissan cars is carried out even if the automaker filled the fluid for the entire service life of the box, because the degree of aging of the lubricant is affected not only by kilometers driven, but also by operating conditions.

When to change automatic transmission oil on Nissan

Fluid replacement intervals for automatic transmissions of Nissan cars are 60 - 70 thousand kilometers. At the same time, the manufacturer assumes normal operating conditions; heavy loads on the machine significantly increase the wear of the lubricant, reducing the service life of the product by almost half. When purchasing a car on the secondary market, it is recommended to immediately replace the ATF fluid in the box, after which you can carry out subsequent procedures following the maintenance schedule. You have to change the oil in a Nissan automatic transmission earlier if, when checking the level and condition of the fluid, signs of wear of parts are found, the lubricant has become cloudy or emits a burnt smell. Interruptions in the operation of the box may also indicate a lack of lubricant or the need to replace it. In order to promptly identify signs of ATF aging, it is necessary to regularly check the fluid level, and at the same time monitor the condition of the lubricant.

Checking the level and required volume

Before replacing, it is necessary to check the level of the working substance. If the lubricant volume is below normal, the gearbox should be checked for leaks. If the level is higher, computer diagnostics of the unit is performed.

How to check the oil volume in a Nissan Tiida automatic transmission (whether “Mexican”, “Japanese” or “American”):

1. Start the engine.
2. Perform a visual check of the transmission unit for leaks.
3. Stop the car on a level surface. Pull the parking brake lever.
4. The gearbox selector must be switched to each mode in turn. Lock the lever in position P.
5. Remove the transmission dipstick and wipe it dry with a rag. Lint rags should not be used.
6. Install the meter into the hole until it stops.
7. Remove the dipstick and check the amount of lubricant. On a cold engine, the fluid level should be at the COLD mark. Warm up the power unit to operating temperature and check the level again. On a warmed-up internal combustion engine, the lubricant volume should be at the NOT mark.

To change the lubricant in the system, about 7.7 liters of fluid will be required.

The video from the PRO100Super channel provides detailed instructions for changing the working fluid in the Tiida box.

Characteristics of oils for Nissan gearbox

For automatic transmissions, synthetic or semi-synthetic compounds are used, which are of high quality and meet the requirements of the automaker. Nissan transmission oil forms a strong protective film on the surface of the contacting elements of the gearbox and has anti-scuff properties. The characteristics of liquids are determined by the SAE viscosity parameters and the API classification system. The letter values ​​HD or EP indicate increased extreme pressure properties of the composition.

Winter range products have SAE 84W, 80W and 75W, summer oils are designated SAE140 and SAE 90, all-season oils are SAE 85 (80 or 90) W-140. According to the API parameter, lubricants are classified based on the structural structure of the gearbox.

Description of Nissan transmission fluids:

• the original NISSAN Matic Fluid D product is used for automatic transmissions and power steering systems;
• NISSAN Matic Fluid J - automatic transmission oil of the latest generation Nissan;
• NISSAN NS-1 and NS-2 - fluids for CVT gearboxes;
• NISSAN LSD GL-5 80W-90 – transmission oil for use in vehicles with hyperboloid gears and differentials;
• GL-4 MT-XZ GEAR SPORT – lubricant for manual transmission.

All compounds have different characteristics and purposes; the manufacturer recommends each of them for different types of transmission. The features of NISSAN brand products make it possible to provide maximum protection for parts in an automatic transmission, CVT or manual transmission. An alternative for Nissan vehicle transmissions can be high-quality products from other brands that meet the same requirements.

Transmission oil for Toyota cars

The world-famous Japanese corporation Toyota produces over 5.5 million cars annually. All cars are distinguished by high reliability and unpretentiousness, which has made the vehicles very popular in Russia.

Features of choice

The modern line of Toyota transmission oils includes the following products:

• fully synthetic oil 75W-90 class GL-4/GL5, suitable for use in transmissions of vehicles with any type of drive, as well as in drive axles;

What you will need

To change the oil in a Nissan automatic transmission, you need to prepare the following tools and consumables:

• recommended original ATF fluid;
• new oil filter;
• pan gasket;
• set of keys, screwdriver;
• WD40 cleaning fluid;
• funnel or syringe for pouring oil;
• clean rags, gloves;
• 2 hoses (if you decide to carry out a complete replacement yourself);
• container for collecting waste.

There are two options for changing the oil in the gearbox: full and partial. When carrying out the procedure using the complete replacement method, the system is washed out and the liquid is completely displaced, replaced by a new one 100%. This option is not always practical and is not recommended for some car models. A partial replacement is more likely to be an oil renewal, because the old fluid is not completely drained, some of it remains in the channels and torque converter. To change the lubricant in this way as much as possible, you will need to repeat 3–4 procedures after a short mileage.

How to change the oil in a manual transmission?

Changing the oil in a manual transmission is much easier than in an automatic transmission and CVT. To work, you will need new fluid, an o-ring for the drain and filler plug, a syringe for pumping in fresh fluid, a set of tools, and a container for collecting waste. Let's look at the replacement process using the NISSAN Tiida as an example.

The first steps are quite standard: warming up the gearbox through a short drive and placing the car on a pit or overpass. You can use a jack, but it is less convenient. If there is engine protection, remove it. We carry out a visual inspection of the gearbox for oil leaks on the seals and boots.

We dismantle the manual transmission drain plug, first placing a container for collecting waste. We wait 15-20 minutes until the oil drains from the unit. We wash the plug in gasoline, install a new seal and tighten the plug.

Unscrew the filler plug and wash it. We fill the syringe with fresh oil and begin to inject it into the gearbox. You need to refill until oil starts flowing from the filler hole. This means that it has reached a level. We tighten the plug with a new seal and install the protection, if any.

After this, you can take a short trip and check the oil level, if necessary, add it to the required volume. This completes the maintenance of the manual transmission.

Partial oil change

The most economical and safe way to replace the fluid for the box is to partially update it. The procedure is simple, does not require special skills from the performer and looks like this:

1. After pre-warming the car, we drive it into a pit or place it on a lift, remove the crankcase protection, if any, and set the selector to mode P.
2. We unscrew the drain plug, placing a container in advance to collect the waste liquid, wait until it drains completely, and screw on the lid.
3. We unscrew the bolts securing the pallet, remove it, and thoroughly clean it.
4. Having gained access to the filter, we also dismantle it, wash it or replace it with a new one.
5. We install the filter element, return the pan to its place, replacing the gasket.
6. We fill in fresh oil through a special hole, start the engine, switch the selector one by one to all positions, and return to parking mode.
7. We check the fluid level using a dipstick and add lubricant if necessary. After a short trip, we check again and, if necessary, correct the shortcomings.

How to change the oil in a variator (CVT)?

The process of changing the oil in a variator is similar to an automatic transmission. But this procedure is best performed at a service station. This is due to the fact that in addition to tools, oil, new gaskets and filters, you will need a computer with an OBDII connector to check the oil temperature, as well as a partner.

Let's briefly look at the process of changing the oil in the NISSAN Qashqai CVT.

• Unscrew the drain plug on the pan and drain the waste liquid
• Unscrew the pan bolts in a circle
• We wash the tray and magnets with gasoline or another cleaner/solvent
• We are replacing the coarse oil filter. To do this you need to unscrew 3 bolts.
• Unscrew the flask of the fine oil filter, change it and the o-ring of the flask
• Fill in fresh liquid in a volume that is 2-3 liters larger than the drained liquid.
• We dismantle the lower pipe coming from the variator cooling radiator and place it in a container for collecting waste.
• At this stage we will need an assistant. We start the engine and switch the gearbox selector between R and D with a delay of 5-10 seconds. We wait until clean oil flows from the variator cooling radiator.
• We measure the amount of oil drained and fill in exactly the same amount
• We set the oil level through the control filler plug. In this case, the liquid temperature should be from +35 °C to +45 °C. It can be determined using a computer connected to the OBDII connector.
• We start the engine and switch the gearbox selector between R and D with a delay of 5-10 seconds
• We unscrew the plug and wait until the oil drips quickly or flows in a thin intermittent stream.
• Tighten the plug

This completes the procedure for changing the transmission oil in the variator.

We carry out a complete replacement with our own hands

For 100% fluid replacement, special equipment is usually used. The process is carried out in a car service center with the connection of a device that automatically squeezes out the old lubricant from the gearbox, then replacing it with a new one. Some motorists carry out this version of the procedure on their own. Of course, when replacing the fluid yourself, the results can be completely unpredictable, so the motorist takes full responsibility for the possible consequences. It is better to carry out the procedure with an assistant. In order to completely change the oil in the box, you must perform the following steps:

1. We do everything the same as during a partial update, then, after pouring oil into the automatic transmission, we disconnect the oil drain pipes from the cooling radiator.
2. We put on the hoses, lower them into the prepared container, where the liquid will be drained.
3. We start the engine and watch the oil flow out. The procedure lasts until the lubricant takes on a fresh look and is completely renewed, after which we turn off the engine.
4. We remove the hoses and return the tubes to their place.
5. We check the level using the cold and hot marks on the dipstick.

When carrying out a complete replacement, double or even triple the volume of oil is used, so the method is not cheap. In addition, in some Nissan models it is highly not recommended to carry out this kind of replacement, since the procedure can lead to irreparable consequences for the box.

Choosing transmission oil is much more difficult than choosing engine oil. In this article we will look at how to choose oil for a Nissan automatic transmission. It has its own characteristics, other viscosity parameters, designations and markings. Automatic and manual transmissions have completely different criteria for selecting oil.

Choosing oil for an automatic transmission is much more difficult than for an internal combustion engine. Which oil to choose for a Nissan automatic transmission is indicated in the vehicle’s operating manual. Transmission fluids are tested for compliance with vehicle requirements at the manufacturer's plant, and based on the test results, they receive certification. Therefore, if the oil does not have a certificate, then most likely it has not been tested by the car manufacturer.

Automakers do not manufacture oils, but only provide their partners with the rights to use the brand. To designate automatic transmission oils, the marking ATF (Automatic transmission fluid) is used; it has a bright color, most often red, but there are other shades. Different manufacturers have different markings for box oils, which is why they cannot be considered interchangeable.

Original oils for Nissan gearboxes are:

• Matic Fluid j - for cars of the domestic, Japanese market.
• Matic Fluid d – For cars of the European and American markets, as well as NCVT CVTs (compatible with Dexron III).

• Matic Fluid s - Only for 5-speed automatic transmissions with rear-wheel drive.
• Dexron III is compatible with Fluid d, and is recommended for partial, but not complete, oil changes in the gearbox.

Replacing oil fluid in a Toyota automatic transmission

If you change the Toyota automatic transmission oil correctly and in a timely manner, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of malfunctions and expensive repairs. Not every motorist wants to contact a specialized service. Many drivers want to change the automatic transmission oil themselves.

To do this, you need to be able to select an oil fluid and check its level in the unit, and know the procedure algorithm.

Lubricant selection

High-quality automotive transmission oil should:

• resist scuffing and wear;
• be resistant to oxidation;
• have optimal viscosity and temperature indicators;
• resist corrosive effects;
• be resistant to foaming;
• be compatible with a variety of sealing elements;
• have increased bearing capacity for torque.

Lubricants vary in color and can be either yellow or pinkish. This is due to the dyes that are added by the automaker to the petroleum product. After being poured into the transmission, the oil may turn brown. A dark shade indicates that the lubricant has “burned out”.

Original Toyota transmission oil

Don't forget that the best oil fluid is the one recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. It has indicators that ensure uninterrupted operation of the transmission.

Change gear oil on time

However, nothing bad will happen if you fill the gearbox with the wrong lubricant. The gearbox will not operate as efficiently as when filling with the recommended motor oil, but no malfunctions should occur.

Experienced drivers strive to be independent from car services. This is why independent replacement of transmission oil is so common in the Russian Federation. Not everyone wants to spend their money on something they can do with their own hands. You just need to understand the replacement algorithm and understand what the procedure intervals are.

Lubricant change intervals, volume check

The frequency of changing the oil in an automatic transmission depends on two factors - the heating temperature of the oil in different operating modes and climatic conditions. If you drive the car only at the optimal temperature, then you can change the Toyota automatic transmission oil once every one hundred and sixty thousand kilometers. In reality, the oil product must be changed every forty to sixty thousand kilometers, since real conditions differ from ideal ones. In winter or when driving over rough terrain, this interval is reduced by approximately 2 times.

You can check the amount of oil in a Toyota automatic transmission using this method:

1. Place the car horizontally on a level surface.
2. Start the engine. While it is idling, shift the selector lever through all gears, return it to the standard position.
3. Pull out the dipstick located in the automatic transmission. Dry it well with a clean cloth.
4. Place the dipstick in the socket and pull it out.
5. The normal lubricant level should be near the “HOT” mark. If it is less, top up. If your car oil is black and smells like burning, it needs to be changed.

Partial, simplified and complete lubrication changes

When performing a partial oil change in an automatic transmission, the used oil product is drained and fresh oil is added. The transmission pan with oil filter is dismantled and installed back (the filter is replaced). This method is no different from changing the lubricant in mechanics. It is advisable to perform such a procedure every twenty to thirty thousand kilometers.

A simplified oil change in a Toyota automatic transmission is somewhat easier than a partial one. When performing this, the unit is not washed. This method has a big disadvantage. Almost half of the old motor oil remains on transmission parts. This negatively affects the performance indicators of fresh petroleum products.

A complete Toyota oil change is carried out using special devices connected to the oil supply complex. They pump lubricant under compression. This method is more effective than the previous two.

To change the oil in a Toyota automatic transmission yourself, you will need:

• funnel with a narrow neck;
• set of keys;
• gear lubricant (four liters);
• fuel (one liter);
• garage compressor.

Algorithm for the procedure

The algorithm for performing a complete oil change in an automatic transmission is as follows:

1. Warm up the engine.
2. Unscrew the transmission cover.
3. Unscrew the bolts holding the pan. Do not unscrew the 2 oppositely located bolts completely.
4. Carefully, so as not to deform the trim and tray, remove the latter. It should hang on two not completely unscrewed bolts.
5. When working with the pan, use gloves, as it is hot after heating the engine.
6. Unscrew the differential magnetic plug and wash it with fuel or kerosene.
7. Change the oil filter.
8. Wash all parts, wipe with a clean rag, and return to their place.
9. Clean the tray cover with fuel.
10. Reinstall the pan by tightening the bolts. Screw the first 2 bolts diagonally towards each other. Please note that the transmission pan is not made of the most durable material. It is easy to damage.
11. Close the lids.
12. Pour motor oil through the dipstick socket. Fill in as much oil as was drained. The main thing is not to overfill. Topping up is easier than pumping out.
13. Heat the power unit to operating temperature.
14. Shift the selector lever through all gears, holding each gear for 10 seconds.
15. Check the amount of lubricant in the transmission.
16. Make sure the drip tray is not leaking.

It is not difficult to understand how to change the oil in a Toyota automatic. To save your own money, it is better not to contact a car service. Why pay someone if you can do everything yourself? Follow the periodic maintenance schedule for your vehicle, and it will serve you for many years without failure.
