Hi I have a 2013 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL at 102,000 miles and the service history seems to show the CVT fluid was never changed. Everything else about the car is in pretty good condition. When I apply smooth acceleration the CVT shifts fine, but with quick shifts like in the Sport mode where it simulates a normal geared AT it is jerky if I don’t keep my foot on the gas. Will a drain-and-fill on the CVT make it shift better and extend its already shortened life or will it completely kill it?
I don't know why so many people are afraid of maintaining their vehicles properly, and treating every part of their car as if it were a conventional automatics transmission on its last leg.
Yes, of course you need to maintain it!
It's overdue though, so just don't expect any miracles.
