AutoFix file today we're going to do a

video on how to properly set the CVT

fluid level on any nissan that has a

dipstick in order to do this correctly

you will need a scanner that can read

the data from the transmission control

module so let's begin in this example we

are using a 2009 Nissan Altima so you'll

want to load your vehicle information in

and then you want to select transmission

finish loading you'll go ahead and

select live data and then you're going

to wait some more then you select all

signals and with this scanner you have

the ability to search for the pit the

parameter identifier that you want that

you'll want to be on monitoring so I'll

go ahead and search for temp te MP and

the pit that we are looking for is ATF

temp count so we'll go ahead and just

select that pit and right now we are 110

I have a 2015 nissan sentra SR with 8,000 miles on it. Can anyone tell me where the dipstick for the automatic transmission fluid is located? Does the car even have one? I have searched all over the internet and found nothing. It is puzzling me.

We don't have a lot of info on these but you probably don't have one and a mechanic has to check the fluid level. Most automakers have eliminated them for cost savings.

How do I check the transmission oil when the dipstick is locked? Also can I have the trans oil changed anywhere, or does the dealer have to do it

The engine in your 2013 Nissan Sentra should be running when you perform a transmission fluid level check, otherwise it will be inaccurate. The video above shows where the transmission fluid dipstick is located in your Sentra and how to check the transmission fluid level. If the transmission fluid level in your Sentra is low, you need to add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. When adding transmission fluid to your Sentra, be sure to add it slowly as it will fill up quickly and is difficult to remove excess fluid if you overfill.

If you are having problems with the transmission in your Sentra, such as clunky shifting or hesitation, check the fluid level first - it is amazing how many drivers pay thousands of dollars for transmission work when a half quart of transmission fluid would have fixed the problem.
