Oil for variator Nissan Qashqai J10
The first generation of youth crossovers Nissan Qashqai J10 was produced by the famous automaker from 2006 to 2013, equipped with both manual and automatic transmissions. At the same time, CVTs in this line are represented by several CVT modifications from Jatco, which use factory-approved transmission fluid in their operation. Accordingly, in this article we will talk about the Nissan Qashqai J10 variator oil, consider its specifications, and also touch on the main points of replacing it.
Reviews
- In the automatic transmission I use DURADRIVE MV SYNTHETIC ATF oil. This liquid, in my opinion, is a worthy replacement for the original oil. In addition, it has higher performance characteristics and properties. No problem.
- In automatic transmissions I use Wolf Vitaltech Multi Vehicle ATF gear oil. I really liked the product for its characteristics, especially its temperature resistance, since in my region in winter the temperatures drop very low and not every oil can withstand it. In this case, gear changes occur very smoothly and without jerking.
Transmission oil for variator Nissan Qashqai J10 RE0F10A/JF011E
The variable gearbox RE0F10A(JF011E) was installed on all-wheel drive models of the first generation Nissan Qashqai J10, equipped with a 2-liter engine. Accordingly, in this case, the Qashqai J10 variator oil can be selected according to CVT NS-2 or CVT NS-3 tolerances. The thing is that initially this CVT was filled with transmission fluid with the CVT NS-2 specification. However, with the advent of the improved CVT NS-3 approval, the Japanese automaker is giving car owners an independent choice. All we can do is give examples of the original Nissan CVT NS-2 and Nissan CVT NS-3 oils of the same name. And also mention the analogues of TOTACHI ATF CVT MULTI-TYPE and Molygreen CVT.

Replacing the variator oil fine filter

Greetings! As you know, our variator oil fine filter is supposedly maintenance-free. The service procedures do not contain any recommendations for replacing it. We all know what such “extended” lack of maintenance leads to. Filter catalog number: 31726-3XX0A Catalog number of the filter flask sealing ring: 31526-3VX0A (for 2.0 and 1.6). For 1.2 - 31526-3JX1B
I decided to take a look and see the condition of the filter on my car with 16t.km of mileage. The mileage is quite low, so I was hoping to see a fairly clean filter. Access to the filter is very good from below. To remove the filter you need a 10 mm spanner:
We wipe clean all the dust and dirt under the flask to collect the drained oil in a clean container. When unscrewing, about 90-100 ml of oil is drained. The condition of the filter turned out to be not at all great: And this is only for 16t.km. With my fairly calm driving, I rarely fire it up. The filter is not just black, there is a decent layer of friction products on its surface.
Filter size: length 63 mm, diameter 37 mm. Most likely, in addition to the above catalog number, 31726-3JX0A is also suitable, which has exactly the same dimensions and shape (photos are in Google images):
The sealing ring is tricky; it has a rigid metal cage to which a rubber ring is welded. The dimensions of this part are 64*52*2.5mm. If you try to replace it with a regular rubber ring, then something like 64*59*2.5 will probably do, but since the groove for the gasket does not limit the internal diameter, the gasket can be squeezed out of the space allocated for it. Therefore, it is better to use the original one.
I didn’t have a new gasket or a new filter, so everything was put back to the original one. The drained oil after settling was poured back through the pipe from above:
If you want to add new oil, catalog numbers NS-3: 999MPNS300P - 1l, KLE5300004 - 4l, KE90999943 - 5l, KE90999943R - 5l.
Ordered 31526-3VX0A - 97 rubles, 31726-3JX0A - 415 rubles. As soon as they arrive, I will change it immediately and in the future I will change it every 15 thousand km. I plan to change the oil itself every 30 thousand km. —Added 09/27/2016—
New filter codes: Original - 31726-28X0A. 31726-3JX0A and 317263XX0A are also suitable - analogues that have very similar sizes and shapes.
—Added 11/27/2016—
The second filter replacement at 30.5t.km showed that the second filter installed was much cleaner than the first (although the replacement intervals were the same). Apparently, the first filter gets the products of running in the variator. In general, I can recommend the first filter replacement at 15 thousand km, and then every 30 thousand km. I plan to change the variator oil at 60t.km.

Replaced the filter today. To replace it, I used a filter with catalog number 31726-3JX0A, since it is impossible to buy 31726-3XX0A.
31726-3JX0A cannot be said to be the same, there are minor differences in appearance. In addition, it turned out to be 0.5-1.0mm longer than the old one. Maybe after installation in the flask it shrinks by this amount? But despite this, the filter began working without any problems, and the flask closed without any significant additional effort.
I didn’t have a camera on hand, so the pictures weren’t very good.
When replacing I used the old o-ring, I will change it the next time I replace the filter.

Simply reduce the amount of wear products in the system and the new filter will do its job better
Nissan Qashqai J10 variator oil RE0F11A/JF015E
Front-wheel drive Nissan Qashqai J10 models have at their disposal a variable gearbox RE0F11A (JF015E), which operates exclusively on transmission fluid with CVT NS-3 approval. Therefore, it is necessary to fill it only with oils that have this specification. This may be the original Nissan CVT NS-3 transmission fluid recommended by the automaker. Or its less expensive substitutes. For example, Lukoil CVTF, TOTAL FLUIDMATIC CVT MV and so on.

Oil level in the variator Nissan Qashqai J10
The transmission fluid level in the Nissan Qashqai J10 CVT, like the oil level in the Qashqai 2012 CVT, is measured in several ways. So, in the RE0F10A/JF011E modification, this procedure is performed with a control probe. And in the RE0F11A/JF015E variator - through the control plug:
- the oil in the variator warms up to 40 degrees
- The machine is placed on a flat area without slopes
- move the CVT selector to P
- unscrew the lower control plug of the variator

Instructions
Partial oil change
This procedure in the Nissan Qashqai transmission is the most common maintenance option. It's not that difficult to do:
- Place the car on a pit or overpass. Warm up the engine at idle speed for 10-15 minutes so that the oil reaches operating temperature and becomes more liquid.
- Remove the crankcase protection. If the model is a sports version, you will also have to remove the temperature sensors. The regular model does not have them.
- Check the level and condition of the lubricant in the automatic transmission.
- Place an empty container under the drain plug and unscrew the plug.
- While the liquid is draining, clean the cap. When draining is complete, screw the plug back in and replace the seal if necessary.
- Pour fresh oil into the transmission.
- Reinstall the removed parts in reverse order.
- Start the engine and leave it running for five minutes.
- Assess the oil level in the transmission and top up if necessary.
- Then restart the engine. If after this the engine sensors show normal data, then everything is in order and the car is ready for further use.
Changing the oil in the Nissan Qashqai J10 variator
Despite the fact that Nissan Qashqai CVTs have design features, the transmission fluid in them is changed in the same way. So changing the oil in the Qashqai 2007 variator, like changing the oil in the Qashqai 2008 variator, consists of the following main steps:
- dismantling the engine crankcase protection
- unscrewing the variator drain plug
- draining old oil into a container
- removing the CVT pan and cleaning it
- replacing consumables
- filling the purchased transmission fluid in compliance with the level

Oil for variator Nissan Qashqai
The most popular youth crossover, the Nissan Qashqai, has been produced by the Japanese automaker since 2006. This line, having gone through several generations and a series of restylings, is still produced to this day, equipped with both mechanical and automatic transmissions. At the same time, the most popular automatic transmission on Qashqai is the CVT, available in several modifications. And the oil in the Qashqai variator has a factory specification, which helps you choose the highest quality transmission fluid for servicing these CVTs.
Nissan Qashqai variator oil RE0F10A/JF011E
One of the most popular CVTs is the JF011E modification, developed by Jatco in 2005 and installed on cars from many automakers. At the same time, specifically for Nissan, this machine acquired the RE0F10A nomenclature and was installed on earlier all-wheel drive Nissan Qashqai models with a 2-liter engine. As for the transmission fluid, initially this machine was filled with oil with CVT NS-2 approval. However, with the advent of the improved CVT NS-3 specification, many car owners have opted for higher quality oil. The Japanese manufacturer itself recommends its own products called Nissan CVT NS-2 and Nissan CVT NS-3. Its analogues are Fuchs TITAN CVTF FLEX, Addinol ATF CVT oils and others.

Transmission oil Nissan Qashqai variator RE0F11A/JF015E
In 2010, Jatco launched mass production of a new generation of CVTs JF015E (RE0F11A for Nissan), which replaced the legendary JF011E. These CVTs have begun to be actively installed on cars with engines up to 1.8 liters. Including front-wheel drive Nissan Qashqai models. At the same time, in terms of the oil used, this variator is not much different from its predecessor. After all, according to Nissan regulations, it is also necessary to fill it with transmission fluid with CVT NS-3 approval. Original (Nissan CVT NS-3), or analog (Motul Multi CVTF, ZIC CVT MULTI). However, in this CVT the use of oils with the CVT NS-2 specification is excluded.

Oil selection
The best option for Nissan transmissions is the branded CVT Fluid NS-2 oil. This is the option recommended by the manufacturer. A good analogue is Ravenol CVTF NS2/J1 Fluid. In addition, for a full replacement, you can use the Febi Bilstein CVT, which has proven itself well.
IMPORTANT: The use of oils for automatic transmissions and other gearboxes is not permitted in CVTs. Use only CVT oils, otherwise rapid destruction of parts is inevitable.

When to change the oil in a Nissan Qashqai variator
The regulations for changing the oil in the Qashqai variator provide for this technical operation to be performed every 60 thousand kilometers. However, as practice shows, an oil change in the Qashqai variator is necessary:
- RE0F10A/JF011E - every 50 thousand kilometers
- RE0F11A/JF015E - every 45 thousand kilometers
- RE0F10D/JF016E - every 40 thousand kilometers
It is also worth understanding that checking the oil in the Nissan Qashqai variator will help you assess the technical condition of the transmission fluid.
How to choose oil for a Nissan Qashqai engine and avoid getting a fake? Read this article about proven lubricants.
Oil level in the Nissan Qashqai variator
Knowing Nissan Qashqai how to check the oil in the variator, it is quite simple not only to monitor the level of transmission fluid in the CVT, but also to monitor its technical condition. And that is why checking the oil level in the Nissan Qashqai variator should be done regularly. Moreover, there is nothing more complicated in this manipulation. So, in a Nissan Qashqai, the oil level in the variator is checked on a warm box using a dipstick and consists of the following steps:
- placing the car on a flat surface
- shifting the variator selector to parking
- cleaning the dipstick from oil
- direct level measurements with a control probe
If there is no dipstick, you need to use the lower control plug of the variator.

How to extend the life of a variator?
The resource of Nissan CVTs is very limited, so the question of extending it is quite appropriate. The following recommendations can be given:
- In winter, the car must warm up; you should not move away without warming up.
- The sensors need to be checked periodically and cleaned if necessary; errors generated by the on-board computer should not be ignored.
- When servicing the variator, it is necessary to clean the radiator.
- It is advisable to completely replace the lubricant in the CVT; add it only when a low level is detected.
- The driving style should be calm - sharp accelerations and prolonged driving at high speed shorten the service life of the variator.
- You should not use a car with a CVT to tow other vehicles.
Fine filters for Nissan variator
Storage conditions for transmission fluid must be strictly observed. It is better to carry out lubricant replacement work indoors to prevent debris from entering.
Filters must be changed after 60,000 km.
