What oil is in the automatic transmission Nissan X-Trail 2007 - 2014

Automatic transmission oil Nissan X-Trail

Each manufacturer of hydro-automatic transmission sets its own requirements for such fluids. Nissan X-Trail automatic transmissions use special fluids. The hydro-mechanical automatic transmission uses ATF oil (automatic transmission fluid). This is a special oil for automatic transmission. This standard provides reliable protection of the box, maintaining the temperature regime in any order of operation, and also provides efficient cooling of the gearbox and, accordingly, maintaining the operating mode for a long time. Oil on the Nissan X-Trail is used to transmit torque and pressure to actuators, as well as to cool and lubricate gearbox parts.

In connection with the design features of an automatic continuously variable transmission (variator), a fluid with additional properties was created. In such a gearbox, the belt that transmits the torque is subjected to heavy loads. Therefore, the requirements for the condition and quality of automatic transmission oil on the Nissan X-Trail are very high. 

In order not to confuse the working fluid with oil, a dye is usually added to it, most often pink.

Warning:

Any non-compliance with the manufacturer's requirements will lead to intensive wear of highly loaded parts of the gearbox, and, as a result, will disable the unit.

Recommended oil for automatic transmission Nissan X-Trail

Transmission oil Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2. The original number is KLE5200004.

Oil for automatic transmissions  Nissan  Matic S ATF. The original number is 999MP-MTS00P (0.946 l).

In the absence of the recommended working fluid, it is allowed to use Nissan Matic J ATF oil in the Nissan X-Trail automatic transmission. The original number is KE90899933 (5 l).

Checking the oil level of automatic transmission Nissan X-Trail

To check the level of the working fluid in the gearbox crankcase, a pointer is made. It looks like a pointer (dipstick), which checks the level of engine oil. 

Checking the oil level in an automatic transmission Nissan X-Trail is necessary mainly to control fluid leaks. Warm up the engine to operating temperature. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it with a dry cloth and put it back into the crankcase. Pull out again. The required liquid level will be marked on special risks. 

If the gearbox is in good condition, the oil level should be constant. If a drop in oil level is noticeable, the transmission will need to be checked to identify and replace faulty seals.

Also, by the type of transmission oil, you can determine the condition of the gearbox. If the liquid has darkened and there is a smell of burnt oil, this may indicate a malfunction of the automatic transmission. Metal particles in the oil can indicate wear on rubbing parts. Therefore, when checking the level, pay attention to the condition of the oil in the Nissan X-Trail automatic transmission and contact a service station as soon as possible.
