Hey Scotty,
I'm an idiot and bought a 2020 Nissan Rogue. It has 54,000 miles on it and runs great. What would be the best way to prevent a transmission failure because honestly that's the biggest thing that worries me.
Thanks,
Steven
- You should replace the fluid every 20k-30k miles
And most importantly, drive in a manner that fits a CVT - This means avoiding internal slippage.
- Take off gently, let the transmission begin shifting before gently adding more throttle.
- Do not rock band and forth in the snow.
- Avoid performing frequent kick downs.
- Avoid any off-road / rough roads.
- Avoid towing.
Do not forget that this Nissan is actually based on the Renualt Megane IV... a French family sedan.
and the transmission is pretty much the same as in the 2008 Altima.
Driving conservative & performing any recommended servicing early
Change the tranny fluid now with nissan fluid for your type tranny. I would change it every 40,000
Be nice to the transmission.
No neutral drops. No heavy shifting. No shifting while it's moving. etc. (this is all in your manual)
Change the fluid/filter often.
It sure is a good time to sell a used vehicle, just saying.
