Service performed on the transmission on Monday with ravenol CVT fluid NS-1 compartible. The car performance so far has been fine. But bringing the oil in from US is very expensive at the rate of 7k per litre. 1 Like |

pragmatistm: I bought 4 litres of original NS-1 recently from UK. Landing costs is a little above 50k. Be thankful. |
Re: Where Is Nissan CVT Oil NS-1 Oil Available In Nigeria or Elsewhere Now? by pragmatistm(m): 8:34am On Mar 28, 2018 |
oluwaseunla:Yes, I agree with you. I saw the NS-1 on the UK site and 8litres was above 105k to get it down here. |

Costee:Curiosity finally got the better part of me. Three weeks and 300km ago I used the Mannol CVT fluid in my Primera. So far so good. Hope to give monthly updates till the end of the year. The Mannol oil was green like NS-2 which, if all goes well, would infer that NS-2 is perhaps backward compatible with NS-1. |

Costee: I know some repair shops that have had NS-2 in those gearboxes, due to none availability of NS-1in the Nigerian market. In fact, in Ladipo market, NS-2 has been used as a substitute for over 30 months now. I've followed up on some of those vehicles. Some have already done over 20,000 km with no transmission issue. I guess it's Nissan's "use NS-1 and nothing else" that has constrained me. 1 Like |

oluwaseunla:Constrained? Frightened! Maybe for once, we can afford to call Nissan's bluff...Hoping this is not a premature call |

Costee: Well, Nissan actually knows how to I have a feeling that this particular call is not premature. Crixie: Will you, kind sir, give us the name of this Ns-1 compatible fluid? Just to run a little research on it like we do with the other fluids too. |
Re: Where Is Nissan CVT Oil NS-1 Oil Available In Nigeria or Elsewhere Now? by Crixie(m): 6:05am On Aug 03, 2018 |
oluwaseunla:Available in 4 litres and 1 liter You can also research about the company "Aisin" and their genuine auto products ,I am sure you will be massively impressed.

oluwaseunla: Carquest offers a compatible fluid too. Would you like to compare? |

oluwaseunla: There are actually two. Castrol Transmax CVT http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=CTL&partNumber=06811 A LOT written about it on the web. For starters see https://www.my4dsc.com/castrol-transmax-cvt-transmission-fluid-drain-refill-alternative-to-nissan-oem/ Other one is Carquest Synthetic CVT CQ490 http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=CQO&partNumber=CQ490 They both cost the same N6,200/quart 1 Like |

Crixie:How much is that? |
Re: Where Is Nissan CVT Oil NS-1 Oil Available In Nigeria or Elsewhere Now? by pragmatistm(m): 7:34pm On Aug 05, 2018 |
Costee:Oga you will be surprised if you hear what one mechanic has done to our car of this thread. I will update you later.

Costee:*** Modified See the oil can in the picture attached above We actually ordered Ravenol transmission oil from US through laredojohn and we got it for more than N50k. But after using the oil the car still had issues. Thus this mechanic was recommended. The guy actually knows much about the CVT transmission and fixed the problem. But upon finishing the job he removed the Ravenol oil and bought the Mobil oil I showed here and put it in the transmission. My friend the owner of the car was afraid but he told him he had been using it for sure and if the transmission should have any problem, he would bear all responsibility. He added that the oil should be charged once a year. Since then the car had presented no issues whatsoever. I was just surprised to the bones. The transmission that Nissan claim that must not use any other oil except NISSAN CVT NS1! wonder shall never end. 1 Like |

pragmatistm: I will not comment on his methods. I will comment on the bolded, this guy stands by his work, an attribute that deserves several rounds of applause and needs to be emulated far and wide. It appears to me that only someone who knows his onions and is a master of his craft would go this far. 2 Likes |

pragmatistm:So they say, though I wonder why you're just reporting the "discovery" being the thread starter. More helpful, however, is to tell us what the issue with the car was and how this was addressed by the mechanic. |
Re: Where Is Nissan CVT Oil NS-1 Oil Available In Nigeria or Elsewhere Now? by Nobody: 10:33pm On Aug 06, 2018 |
AutoElectNG:No doubt. But isn't this analogous to the phenomenon of magic you drew attention to in an earlier and different thread? |
Re: Where Is Nissan CVT Oil NS-1 Oil Available In Nigeria or Elsewhere Now? by AutoElectNG: 10:41pm On Aug 06, 2018 |
Costee: That was why I refused to comment on his methods...I think you should instead because you are the preeminent authority on Nissan. That said, I am worried, I ran a search on the Internet, that fluid is not meant for CVTs. It reminds me of the use of Visco 2000 in ATs because of its color. I have been a victim before I joined the trade...someday the vehicle started moving backwards although it was engaged in Drive. Then also the mechanic because I don't believe he deserves the title technician vehemently insisted Visco 2000 was as good as any ATF recommended. Maybe there is something he knows that we don't |
Re: Where Is Nissan CVT Oil NS-1 Oil Available In Nigeria or Elsewhere Now? by Nobody: 10:55pm On Aug 06, 2018 |
AutoElectNG:Yes, I saw your subterfuge Well, not only is the fluid not meant for CVTs, but for vehicles pre-1994 (Dexron IID). I'm not against ingenious methods, but they must rest on logical grounds. |

Re: Where Is Nissan CVT Oil NS-1 Oil Available In Nigeria or Elsewhere Now? by oluwaseunla(m): 4:53am On Aug 07, 2018 |
pragmatistm: How long has this change been done, and do you have an idea of the mileage the car has done since that time? I have a feeling that things may go south with that transmission very fast. Please answer the question above too, about what was wrong with the transmission and what the mech did. |
Re: Where Is Nissan CVT Oil NS-1 Oil Available In Nigeria or Elsewhere Now? by pragmatistm(m): 8:43pm On Aug 09, 2018 |
Costee:WelI, when the owner took the mechanic with him in the car for a long journey, he said after driving for a fairly long distance the car would get hot and it would refuse to transmit until it's parked for some time. Then the man also said it was not getting to 5th gear. Thus he diagnosed the problem to be a failing selection switch. He replaced it and did some few things (I don't know exactly as I wasn't there) and replaced the oil we put in the tranny with the said Mobil oil. The car has covered quite a large distance but I don't know exactly how much as I'm not the owner. |
