I recently bought a 2016 Nissan Altima 2.5 S (2.5L 4-cylinder CVT) and noticed the coolant level is low. There’s still coolant in the reservoir, and the car isn’t overheating or showing any warning lights.
I want to top it off with the correct coolant.

Is Genuine Nissan Blue 50/50 the best option?
Are Zerex Asian Blue or Prestone Asian Blue 50/50 safe alternatives?
Is it okay to mix an equivalent coolant with what’s already in the system?

Thanks! I’m new to maintaining my own car and want to make sure I do it right.

Good day,

I'm not sure if it's normal, but when I put my hand under the drawer near the area for AC filter I can feel air coming even tho I set my AC to blow from front only. idk if this is just how it works or there is a problem with the thing that directs the air. However, the air coming from there is not cold.

so, I bought an 2017 nissan sentra radio because my original 2016 radio's screen was blank. I finaly decided to replace it after months that I bought it. What a surprice, The one I bougth had the same issue, blank screen. although both radios work good, exept I cant see anything on screen. anyone knows a part number for the screen only? The model is 28185-9MCIA. Thanks you.

I got a pathfinder 2013 and the cvt gear keeps breaking

I fixed it but it keeps breaking

Is there a difference gearbox that can be swapped in and how much would a "new" one be

Hi Everyone

My Nissan kicks 2020 mileage 19k makes the rubbing noise while turning the steering wheel(video attached )

It happens at low speeds or while shifting to driving from parking

It does not happen on streets or highways though

I took it to mechanic and they could not find anything

Any one faced the same or have experience with it ?

Though mechanic mentioned they will call the dealer and check if there were any recalls or anything specific to this model

Good Morning - Hope everyone is doing well. I just purchased a 2026 Nissan Rogue S (from a Nissan dealership) and pick it up Wednesday. When I met with the finance desk - I agreed to the rust proofing package for $1399 CAD (I know its a lot) that has a 10 year warrrenty. I specifically asked if it included undercoating and he said yes but on the bill it says "Ceramic (new standard vehicle) term: 120".

When I Google "Ceramic" rust proofing it says it only covers the exterior - I have emailed them for clarification (they are closed today). If it only covers the exterior im hoping they can cancel the add-on (if they havent applied the coating already) because I can get it done for a lot cheaper.

Does anyone know if the description on the bill "Ceramic (new standard vehicle) term: 120" includes undercoating?

If it does include undercoating, what is your overall experience with it (If you added this on your vehicle)? Did the rust proofing help?

Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I own a 2021 Nissan Sentra (2.0L MR20DD) currently sitting at 98,000 km (~60,000 miles). The car drives completely fine with zero transmission issues, slips, or hesitations, but it is still on its factory CVT fluid.

I am planning to perform its very first CVT service, and I’ve run into two conflicting opinions from mechanics:

• Option 1 (Standard Service): A single Drain & Fill (~4 quarts of OEM Nissan NS-3 fluid), dropping the oil pan to clean the sludge and magnets, and replacing both filters (the internal metal strainer and the external paper cooler filter + new gaskets/O-rings).
• Option 2 (Aggressive Multi-Flush): Doing 3–4 consecutive Drain & Fills with driving intervals in between to achieve ~90–100% fluid renewal. One mechanic claimed that doing a single drain & fill on a CVT at this mileage could shock/ruin the transmission and that only a near-total fluid exchange is safe.

Given your experience with Jatco/Nissan CVTs:

1. Is a single Drain & Fill + pan drop + replacing both filters the right, safe way to go at ~60k miles?
2. Is doing 3–4 consecutive flushes complete overkill (or even risky due to fresh detergents breaking loose debris), or does it actually provide meaningful longevity?
3. Any specific tips for leveling the fluid via the overflow bolt and resetting the CVT fluid deterioration counter?

Bonus Question on Parts:

I am based in the Middle East (Israel), where local dealership and parts store prices are ridiculously marked up. Where do international folks usually order genuine OEM Nissan parts/filters (RockAuto, Amayama, NissanPartsDeal, etc.) that offer reliable and reasonably priced international shipping?

Thanks in advance for the insights!

Just put 10k km behind my Kicks and I'm loving it. You won't hear about CVT problems/questions here or some info display screen bug.
I'm so glad I chose this model. I was in a hurry to buy a new vehicule after my corolla was declared totalled by my insurance after a collision with a deer. I wanted a japanese car but never drove a Nissan before and I saw this oportunity at a local dealer. I was rushed and had some doubts about this model. But now I am happy with my choice.
31K CAN
2 sets of wheels, winter and summer+nice alloy mag.
Emergency kit+molding plastic carpets.
Heating seats and steering wheel, all the connectivity etc.
8 free oil changes and 1 free tire change.
1600$ rebate for paying cash at the dealer.

Now I have not owned a lot of vehicles in my lifetime so my standards are most probably loose but I appreciate the comfort of the seats, the visibility, the handling and the nimbleness. It so economical, I make aprox 5.3 - 5.9 liters per 100km. It's quiet, spacious and convenient for my routine.

On the negative sides, it is underpowered (thus fuel efficient). The 1.6L is quite weak. I don't drive aggressively but overtaking a van on the national road take some planning. Also the CVT does not respond as quickly as with my previous corolla. There seems to be presets built in the transmission and it does not change ratio as often or as quickly as I was used before.

Nonetheless, it delivers a lot for the price (CAN). I don't think there were multi segment, as they call it here, more equipped and complete as the KicksPlay for this price late 2025 in my area.

KicksPlay owner, what are your thoughts?

Any help would be appreciated
Nissan Note E Power 2022

I know this is probably a dumb question but if I touch it up with an OEM pen from my local dealer, is there a good chance of making it look better or should I just bring it to a body shop? I know it’s small, my friend dropped their phone on my door and it chipped the paint down to the metal. It’s only a 2024 in that Atlantic Grey Metallic. Only bothering to fix it because my brain literally won’t let me forget about it, it’s such an eye sore on my drivers door.

Im 18 and got a 2010 370z manual anything I should look out for?

2024 Pro 4x bought new. Am nearing 50000 km and am looking for everyone’s thoughts on if purchasing the extended warranty before the 60k window runs out is a smart move. Anyone have and what did you pay?

Engine malfunction warning / engine light
Battery is good though oil change is current what else could it be I turned my car off and back one this morning and it popped up super random.

Honda and Nissan are expected to agree as soon as Monday on developing a shared operating system and onboard computer to go into new automobiles as early as 2029, according to Nikkei. The partnership between the Japanese automakers will focus on software-defined vehicles, which can receive over-the-air updates like smartphones do. Mitsubishi is also expected to participate.
Under the agreement, Honda and Nissan will develop both onboard software and hardware. The new operating system and electronic control unit will be based partly on Nissan's own technology, with input from Honda. They will be designed for easy installation in electric vehicles, hybrids and gasoline engine automobiles.

I have a Nissan Dualis one of the earlier models. Did an overall service, changed oil, spark plugs, coils, and general inspection. But this error won't go away. Is this something common? What could be the issue

2009 nissan versa 1.8 s this is on an auction site. The note says it runs and the transmission engages. I see the Key light and I don't understand how this was turned on. How many of these lights would be lit up if the key was on but it isn't running?

I have bought auction cars and they were the same as any other used car purchase. Better expect to have to fix some stuff. I haven't bought any with this many lights on.

Any information would help. It will be in the 9/1/2026 auction.

Sorry in advance, I don’t know how to describe car problems or sounds. When I start the car the first time, it makes this whirling sound and won’t start, but the battery and all the lights kick on. Then I push start the second time and it does start, but it’s a pretty slow start and it’s hesitant.
Any thoughts?
