  The fluid that came out of the CVT doesn’t even look like any fluid that goes in a car, it looks like an obstacle in a video game where if you jumped in it, you’d instantly die

  Never said ever before in human history: "Let's take the Cubie to the yacht".

  Class Action Lawsuit is desperately needed against any car manufacturer that says the transmission fluid never needs to be changed.

  If manufacturers say never to service an important part like a transmission then you know you are being scammed because the only thing they want is to sell you a new one

  Our Nissan had a code for the transmission. 56k miles. Dealer said CVT transmission was bad, needed a new one. I took it home and changed the fluid, screen and filter and new fluid. Cleared codes. Doing great since. So now I service it every year. Now has 182k miles. Still doing great.

  My sister has a 2011 Sentra with 150,000 miles on the original CVT trans and she has changed the trans fluid at least 3 times. Still running like a champ.

  The owners manual is 100% accurate. Sealed transmission is good for the life of the vehicle, right until it self destruct's and costs more then its worth to repair.

  Totally agree with you regarding CVT. I have a 2019 QX60 with 55 000 KM. Went to the Infiniti dealer to buy CVT fluid. The guy at the parts counter told me why change the CVT fluid because it is good for more than 100 000 miles. I told him I didn't agree with him. He took a pause, looked around to make sure nobody was listening and told me : ''You are doing the right thing sir.''

  My mother has a X-trail with the cvt when she bought it i noticed gearbox bearing noises i called 2 nissan dealers asking the cost for replacing the oil both said "it's a lifetime fluid, no need to change it" then we went to a gearbox specialist and they changed the 7qts of the green stuff you shown, the car runs so smooth now and this was over a year ago, nissan should be sued for giving customers fake info wich leads to ruin their cars

  Love the Borg reference! It’s refreshing to see a gearhead that genuinely likes working on cars the right way and can also be an honest mechanic. Keep doing your thing Wizard!

  Problem with most shops and dealers is, they don’t want to drop the pan. All they want to do is flush. I don’t trust anyone but me.
