Nissan Primera is a Japanese C-class car. On the Russian market such machines, which is explained by the low popularity of the model. This sedan can be found on the secondary market today, and only the true fans of the Nissan brand are bought. As for maintainability, the owners of Nissan Primera can independently perform some repair procedures on their own, or replace the oil in the gearbox. This is one of the elementary procedures, performing at home. In this article, we will consider in detail how on the example of a car such a level to choose a suitable oil for mechanical gearbox, what is its replacement frequency, as well as how much fluid is required to be poured into the box.
Regulations
The Nissan Primera manufacturer recommends changing the transmission oil every 60,000 kilometers. Such a small periodicity of the replacement is due to the high susceptibility of oil and gearboxes to heavy loads. In this regard, it is not surprising why European motorists prefer to carry out a more frequent replacement of oil, even despite the overall favorable climate and good roads. In the harsh Russian conditions the situation is even worse. Thus, the true fans of Nissan and the owners of the "example" have to undergo oil replacement every 40,000 kilometers or even earlier. We note that unfavorable operating conditions can be associated with sharp drops of temperatures, changing the warm climate to a colder, riding in bad and dusty roads, including off-road, risky soil, etc. Besides, often drivers themselves become the culprits That oil quickly loses its useful properties.
For example, motorists violate traffic rules exceed the speed, regularly allow high engine revolutions, and the transmission overheats. In addition, it is possible that incorrect work with the clutch and gearbox, which can also suffer from this (for example, overheat). All these factors unequivocally suggest that in such conditions, the transmission of Nissan Primera requires a more frequent oil change. In addition, it will not be superfluous to check the volume and monitor the condition of the fluid.
Check the volume and condition of the oil
In the design of the car there is a special dimensional probe designed to control the oil level. This procedure is desirable to perform at least once a week. Max and Min tags are made on the probe, which can be determined, grabs or lack oil in the box. For example, if the liquid is between the specified marks, then this level is optimal. But if the oil is below the minimum minimum level, then the top will need. In addition, in the process of topping the oil, it is important to prevent overflow, otherwise the procedure is more complicated - you will have to climb under the hood and merge extra oil.
We note that one oil topping will not be enough if the car's mileage is too big and, moreover, the following signs were revealed during the inspection of the oil condition:
- Liquid darkened and poisoned
- The oil began to smell the burner
- Metal chips, soot and other mud deposits appeared in the oil
In this case, it will be necessary to urgently merge this black oil, and complete the flushing of the transmission. It is better to carry out this procedure at home, due to the fact that such a service for "examples" in the Nissan dealership is not cheap. After washing, you can pour a new oil in full. But at the same time it is necessary to make sure that the consumables have the parameters recommended by the manufacturer.
How much to pour, and how to choose oil for MCPP Nissan Primera
Nissan Primera mechanical gearbox consumes no more than 2.3 liters of transmission oil. In addition, it is important to remember the specifications of the API and the viscosity characteristics of SAE. According to the manufacturer, the SAE 75W-90 API GL-5 marking is suitable for the model under consideration.
Further, as for the brand producing oil. Since the original Nissan oil is too expensive, you can choose among proven analogs. To date, a lot of companies with a good reputation: Castrol, Lukoil, Rosneft, Kixx, Valvoline, Shell, Mobil and others.
The oil for Nissan Primera should be synthetic or semi-synthetic. If finance is better, of course, to acquire the synthetics. This is more fluid and liquid oil, designed for a long service life. Together with such an oil, quite low reliability of the car will be significantly higher.
At the end of the article, we note that the specified liquid volume (2,3) can be administered after the procedure for cleaning the gearbox from the old oil. At the same time, there should be no different deposits in the transmission, so that it is possible to pour out the full volume.
The variator is a comfortable, but not trouble-free transmission. It is enough caprit, as well as any other vehicle element. Therefore, so that the variator served for a single year, it is necessary to change consumables in a timely manner: oil, filter, etc.
When is the replacement?
The automaker assures that Nissan does not need to replace the oil in the variator. But the Russian conditions are severe, so the oil change in the variator is a regular and desirable process.
If the oil in the variator is performed for the first time, it needs to be made through 60 thousand mileage kilometers. Repeated oil use - every 90 thousand km run.
Signs of replacement:
- Noise in the variator;
- Slow acceleration;
- The car does not touch from place, etc.
What exactly pour?
There are various options for analog fluid that can be used. The manufacturer when choosing a car recommends using only the original. For Nissan Example - this oil NS-1. Other oils are not recommended. According to unofficial data and opinions of car owners, the variator fails after 10-15 thousand mileage kilometers.
Operating procedure
Step-by-step oil replacement instructions in the Nissan Primera P12 variator:
The process of replacing the oil in the CVT variator in Nissan Primera P12 is completed.
Consequences of untimely replacement
The late oil replacement will result in the following possible problems:
- Transmission will be polluted and a metal chips will appear;
- The service life of the variator will be significantly reduced;
- Expenses for repair or replacement will increase;
- The car does not touch.
If the fluid level in the variator is low, it may entail incorrect shifting. As a result, a complex technical node fails. Quickly reveal the cause of the fault of the vehicle assembly problematic, so it is required to undergo a planned technical inspection thoroughly.
The transmission system ensures the movement of the car, and each driver needs its uninterrupted operation. So that the mechanisms are not let out on the road, it is important to regularly check the level and state of the flooded working fluid, as well as change the lubricant as it is wear. Without proper care, transmission elements quickly fail, and not always even expensive repair is able to save the situation. Timely - the key to the stable operation of the device, so even if the automaker is filled with a liquid for the entire service life of the box, to carry out the procedure for updating the lubricant after a certain mileage is necessary. For Nissan Primera cars, the factory oil is considered to be "unreasonable", but with the calculation of normal operating conditions. The driving load on the car reduce the working characteristics of the lubricant, increasing the wear of the box. conducted in the car Nissan example, can significantly extend the service life of the device.
To replace the oil into the Nissan Primera automatic transmission, it is better to choose the original lubricant.
Replacement frequency
The intervals of the procedure for updating the lubricant, according to the manufacturer's recommendations, are 50 - 60 thousand km. Run. In the process of changing the liquid, the oil filter and the pallet laying should also be changed. Controlling the fluid level in the box, simultaneously observed over the condition of the lubricant. If there were signs of the wear of the product or the operation of the automatic transmission began to give failures, the oil changes earlier than the stated term.
Check the volume and condition of the oil
The fluid level in the box must be maintained within normal indicators, because its deviations in any direction can lead to a breakdown of the device. To accurately determine the volume of oil in the automatic transmission, the car must heat up to the operating temperature of the lubrication composition, passing for this not less than 15 km., After that, install the car on the flat site. Next, we perform a consistent procedure:
- we put the car on the handbrake;
- with an engineered engine, we alternately switch the transmissions, we leave in the parking position;
- remove the measuring probe, which is at the top of the box between the battery and the engine (the car is not wilderly), wipe it dry and return to the place;
- remove the device again and evaluate the test results;
- if necessary, fill the oil to the desired indicators on the probe;
- if the volume of the liquid is at the level of the critical mark, inspect the box for leaks: on time taken to help avoid failure of the automatic transmission.
When checking the level, be sure to note also on the liquid condition. The smell of Gary, the muddy color of lubrication, the presence of traces of wear of the rubbing elements indicate the unsuitability of the oil and the loss of its properties. In this case, the replacement of the fluid must be carried out immediately.
Which oil to choose
The result of the replacement procedure is depends on the quality of the compliance with its technical characteristics of the automatic transmission, therefore, for the box - the most important condition for ensuring the stability of the device. Using an inappropriate product, you risk getting the opposite effect. For automatic gearboxes, the Nissan example is better to use the Matic Fluid D recommended by the manufacturer.
For automatic transmission produced up to 2000, oils are used DEXRON III Specifications. In the absence of the original recommended product, it is selected similar to it according to technical specifications. In the Nissan box, examples are poured synthetic or semi-synthetic compositions. For the variator, Nissan ATF N-CVT Fluid P11 oil is suitable, Nissan NS1-CTV P12. For partial replacement, it will take 4 - 6 liters of fluid, for complete substitution - about 12 liters.
Replacement regulations
In the automatic transmission of Nissan example, it is better to replace the oil in part, because the hardware connection procedure can lead to unpleasant consequences for the box. The fluid update can be carried out by the motorist independently and does not constitute a great difficulty.
To carry out, we need the following tools and consumables:
- new transmission fluid;
- laying for the pallet;
- new oil filter mesh;
- set of keys, screwdriver;
- pure rags, gloves;
- capacity for collecting exhaust lubrication.
Replacing the oil in the gearbox Nissan Examples in this way:
According to the reviews of those who changed the fluid by the method of complete substitution, the device began to climb after the procedure, so instead of changing the lubrication completely, it is possible to repeat the process 2 to maximize its update - 3 times after a small mileage.
The Regulation prescribes the following: to replace the oil in the mechanical gearbox is required every 80-90 thousand km. Type and specification of oil that comes to your car will find in instructions for your car.
Instructions for replacement of mechanical gearbox oil in the Nissan car
Consider the replacement process on the example of the Nissan Tiida car. The whole process is better to implement on the pit.
1. Remove the engine protection and gearbox from the bottom of the car. In some cars, such protection may be absent, because It is an additional equipment.
2. Now we look at the box, check: the seal of the right semi-axis, the seal of the left semi-axis, the dust of the semi-axle. They should not be signs of oil. May be wet from water, but should not be wet from the gearbox.
3. This is what the drain plug of the mechanical gearbox looks like:
4. It looks like a fuel plug. It is also an oil level in the box:
5. Unscrew the drain plug of the manual transmission in advance and substituting the container under it to drain the oil. Wait until the oil goes completely.
6. Replace the sealing ring on the drain plug. It is necessary to do so that with the further operation of the car the oil did not proceed. So the old and new ring of seals looks like:
7. Now take the filler syringe (you can buy in the auto parts store) and a canister with new oil and pour the transmission oil into the syringe.
8. Insert the tube of the syringe into the plug hole and with the help of the piston, pour the oil into the box. You will need up to 3 liters of oil.
9. As we said above, the plug-in is part-time and the level of oil in the manual transmission. Those. The oil must be poured into the box until it runs back. As soon as the oil starts slowly poured back from the filling opening of the box, it means that oils in the box are already enough.
10. Spin the plug hole with a plug, put back the engine protection (if it was) and that's all.
This is how the oil in the mechanical transmission of Nissan cars changes.

On a note
Many car owners of Nissan cars with a manual gear can not find the plug hole in his car. The thing is that this cork may look like an ordinary bolt. On Nissan Maxima A32, a drain plug is located on the right under the internal cutting screen.
The Nissan automaker recommends in its cars to change the transmission oil every 60,000 kilometers. Replacement frequency is due to high loads. If the car is operated in severe Russian conditions, it is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 40,000 kilometers.
In the form of unfavorable operating conditions, they perform:
- sharp temperature differences;
- change of warm climate on cold;
- riding for dusty and bad roads: soil, off-road.
Proper preparation for replacing oil in the manual transmission and list of necessary tools
To replace oil in the manual transmission, the Nissan example will require no more than 2.3 liters.
Additionally prepared the necessary list of tools:
- set of wrenches;
- packaging for waste liquid;
- laying for the pallet;
- pharmacy syringe;
- flat screwdriver;
- butter.
The replacement of oil in the manual transmission is carried out extremely careful. Do not drain overly hot fluid. We need time so that it cooled after the engine operation. When replacing the liquid, rubber gloves are used. Exhaust transmission fluid is harmful. It can lead to various skin diseases. The most dangerous - skin cancer.
Note: The temperature of the car is not estimated at the flow temperature of the drain hole, the liquid is much hot, so you should be careful.
Phased oil replacement procedure in manual transmission
The phased procedure for replacing the oil in the MCPP of the Nissan Primera car:
The process of replacing the oil in the manual transmission on the Nissan example is complete.
Oil selection for Nissan Primer
When buying oil in the manual transmission, indicators are taken into account as the viscosity index and the allowable auto quality API. The same characteristics regardless of the type of engine: gasoline or diesel. There is no specific machine manufacturer for Nissan Primera. Each owner chooses it on the basis of the indicated characteristics and budget allotted by the car.
The main choice falls in favor of the original oil - Nissan MT XZ Gear Oil. For a complete replacement, there are enough about four liters.
An alternative to the original fluid can be:
- Castrol Syntrans TRANSAXLE 75W-90;
- Zic G-F Top 75W90 GL-4.
The differences of changing the oil in the manual transmission on other models of Nissan
The differences of changing the oil in the manual transmission on other models of Nissan is the features of the casting of the pallet, drain and fuzzy tube.
To change the oil on the Nissan Maxim, it is necessary:
- Unscrew the drain plug, which is on the pallet.
- Drain the oil and unscrew the pallet to drain the residual oil;
- Check the condition of the liquid. If necessary, rinse with special additives.
- Pour new oil.
Otherwise, the replacement process on Nissan Blueberd is performed similarly to the described instructions. In addition to the syringe to replace the car, you can use a heat shrink. Pouring the car is needed in the volume equal to the fusion. Thus, overflow is excluded. The main thing is not to exceed the mark maximum and timely check the level. After the test trip, the amount of fluid is repeatedly checked. If the level decreased, it is required to add.
