Asif Hussain Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 @Sajit Modiyil if you are driving in desert it is very important to replace the oil before the maintenance intervals. The normal operating temperature is 65deg to 80deg celsius. But while offroading it is a different story it reaches to 80 to 95deg and sometimes beyond that when you push it hard. As a rule of thumb every 15deg increase in operating temperature above 80deg cuts the life of fluid to half. For example if your car manufacturer requires to change the fluid at every 45000km under normal driving condition and if you are a weekend off roader it is very important for transmission to be serviced at every 30000 km to keep your transmission healthy. Always use recommended fluid specified by Nissan in owners manual. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefy Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 And then there is a flush and THE FLUSH. Draining just the pan or the whole system. I assume the service manual guide you only to drain the pan, you'll only refresh about 1/3rd of the fluid. This is fine if you do it at the recommended intervals/ or increased intervals like said above. You can also flush the whole system, check your car's fora. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexol in sharjah was recommended by someone Wherever you do it, it's your choice but stick to 100% OEM original gear oil and filter from agency. Price difference is not too steep from BM road dealer vs agency, but will save you from duplicacy possibility. 3 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.
