Costee:
No doubt. But isn't this analogous to the phenomenon of magic you drew attention to in an earlier and different thread?

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

*** 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.

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.

I need to give feedback to Fluid RX Diagnostics.

Car Talk › Re: FX35 Electrician Needed. by AutoElectNG: 5:53pm On Aug 06, 2018

When an technician works on a vehicle's wiring systems without access to the vehicle's wiring diagrams, what is he?

I ask this question because I had a discussion recently in which technicians who work on a vehicle's wiring without reference to the vehicle's wiring diagrams were called wizards and magicians.

One of the first things that is taught in a vehicle electrical electronics class is to obtain, study and use wiring diagrams when working on a vehicle's wiring system.

Sometimes the magic works as intended, sometimes it doesn't at other times, the magic can cause unintended consequences.

I think I will use this to illustrate what happens when one decides to be a magician instead of a technician and the adverse effects when the magic fails.

Your profile says Abuja . . . I am in Lagos

Distance is no issue for me...

Distance certainly was no issue for the clients here who valued quality over price https://www.nairaland.com/4644144/meet-british-nigerian-gideon-king-love-vendor

Lagos to Abuja is 10 to 12 hours away by road and less than 3 hours by flight including travel time to the airport and travel time to Ajah

You can always pick someone in Lagos, but if you can't find any...I am available if you need me

Plus I have an excellent working relationship with the Nissan overlord Costee, our partnership would get you out of the woods in record time

And you would be assured of a job done right, once and for all.

I know it will cost an arm and leg...

but I will travel at short notice for the right price.

Just another option in your kitty

I am offering the OP the chance to be the first on nairaland to have the vital fluids of his vehicle analyzed with a FluidRX diagnostic kit

https://www.nairaland.com/4659358/test-condition-vital-fluids-fluid#70023181

Although the ATF is suspect, we might as well test everything, so he can share the results with the forum

Car Talk › Re: When It Is Time To Return To Factory Specs. by AutoElectNG: 7:21am On Aug 06, 2018

Some English speaking technicians ( I prefer the term technician to mechanic) know their way around tools and actively use those themselves

Not every English speaking technician is like some Nigerian professors who are all about the theory and no practical knowledge or experience ( read that to mean they never get down and dirty)

While the lack of a theoretical background or basis has severely hurt the forward momentum of the local techies

Their other problem is not keeping abreast with the match of the science behind vehicles

But I have information that this is a global problem...I will someday write an article addressing the fact that even in the US and the UK that is a problem, but the relevant bodies there are doing something about it, so any technician practicing in those parts that decides to stay in the past is making a choice, not that he could not have improved, because the resources were and are available

AutoElectNG:
0w40 and 5w40 are a little different, agreed.

If they cost more, that is a minus, agreed.

Name of the lab in Nigeria? Please...I could save time and turnaround with some plans up my sleeve.

So many misconceptions about engine oil here in Nigerian, I am planning to personally run some Blackstone tests to share with nairalanders to dispel some of those misconceptions.

I already have something coming up soon courtesy of one of the biggest fluid testing companies in the US...details will be out in a couple of weeks.

I too use Bosch, Mann and Mobil 1 filters.

I now have in stock FluidRX testing kits...I published it here https://www.nairaland.com/4659358/test-condition-vital-fluids-fluid

Every minute of every day - hundreds of vehicles roll out of service bays with at least one degraded vital fluid.

It takes only minutes to perform.

We can tell you the condition of your

I will do that over the weekend , thanks

A friendly forum member told me that my English was over the top and said I should have said:

Scan for codes and make a clear the recording of what you hear to share

What I meant is there are phone whose recordings have such poor fidelity that the recording would be distorted and others listening would not be able to decipher the sound, so use a good phone not a basic phone, that is what I mean, so the recording will be high fidelity so when it is reproduced we can hear what you actually hear when the engine is running

Better get in done here...I can work with you...if your client has deep enough pockets to want this shipped to the UK, let's work together on this and split the profits

I recently had cause to work with another tech on a similar vehicle

Although I found the solution to his problem, he refused to pay me for it, that gave me quite an insight into these beautiful vehicles.

I disagree that the cost of importing the parts is costlier than shipping the entire vehicle to the UK.

But most people run away from rebuilding.

The factory TSB recommends rebuilding and updating the ECU logic to prevent the problem

You can either rebuild (that is pay for a rebuild ) or buy a rebuilt one (one someone has already paid for the rebuild)

A Nigerian brand can take action that changes the dynamics of an entire industry...a brand did so to the soft drinks sector recently

It forced international multinationals to sit up and make changes

PZ Nigeria PLC is partly Nigerian and partly British it has also rewritten the rules of the game in the market sectors in which it operates

Quick thinking, adaptability, collaboration if and when necessary, even a wad of cash can make all the difference
