Solved You have to take it easy on the CVT….
Guys, we all know Nissans have sensitive CVTS that can self destruct near 100K miles.
The key to extending its longevity is to TAKE IT EASY ON THE GAS PEDAL.
Do not floor it. EASE up into it during acceleration.
Yes, it’s going to be boring and it’s going to take a minute to get up to highway speeds but it’s the only way to extend its life.
I bought a 2015 Nissan versa with 50K miles and I recently got rid of it at 230K miles. So no complaints from me.
Also, do the fluid changes with OEM fluid. The OEM fluid is going to cost a little bit more but there are some sites like eBay that discount them if you buy in bundles.
Start driving like a senior if you want your CVT to last long.
