Changing The Extroid Cvt Oil In Adelaide

[tienscissors]

Hi Guys,

I just hit 100,000 kms on the GT8, so need to change the gearbox oil asap. I'm going to buy the oil here:

But does anyone know a reliable mechanic that can change the oil for me? Preferably someone who's changed the gearbox oil in a GT8 Extroid gearbox before.

Cheers

That is a lot cheaper than usual. Is the seller reliable?

Is changing the fluid in a CVT box any different to changing the fluid in a standard auto??

Let us know if the source for the fluid is good.. I was thinking of changing the CVT fluid in our J31 Maxima, it uses NS-2 fluid and that seller has 20L for under $170.. which is about the same price as standard ATF here..

I'm not sure if its different, but normal gearboxes uses oil to lubricate, the extroid box oil is used to create friction between the moving parts. So preferably just want someone that has done it before. Anything messes up and I'm screwed.

I'll let you know if the seller is good. I'm guessing you didn't factor in shipping yet... 20L is about 20Kg..

yeah.. I had a quick look at shipping.. around $260.. still cheaper than buying it from Nissan Aust..

Please personal message me, I have a document which I can email you from CVT NZ which shows the correct way to change the fluid. It will take 7 - 8 litres of fluid. I had mine done, but the change was done as per other instructions and apparently this is incorrect when I have discussed with the NZ guys. So looks like I am going to have to do mine again.

Just letting you all know that the website I got the oil from is legit. 8 Litres (2 cans) cost me $570 delivered. Took 10 days to arrive and one can was dented in a bit but no leakages or anything. Here's a pic:

excellent.. and it is definantly is CVT fluid?? not just someone's urine?

I might buy a 20L drum of NS-2 fluid for the Maxima/Murano CVT, half of that will be more than enough for a full flush, and I would sell the other half to recoupe some of the cost. - or maybe split the price with someone on here if they have a suitable transmission that is due a flush..

Just letting you know, if you take the instructions that I messaged to you and the car to MV Automatics in Blackwood they are able to change the fluid for you.

They were really great with our car and the service was second to none. Will be taking the car back there for any future tranny services.
