Want to drain/flush ECVT
 

I have a 2009 altima Hybrid just went out with 135 dollars worth of nissan matic w atf.Found the drain plug for ecvt but absolutely cannot find the fill tube.dealership up here in Washington State have never drain/flushed any hybrids so i am compelled to do it myself.I hope it can be done without hooking it to a drain/flush pump machine.Any idea where it is if any THX

What I thought was the drain plug turns out to be a coolant plug but I did find the transmission fill plug.Now no drain plug .I think they dont expect you to service the ECVT,even though warranty requires it.All the transmission shops I spoke to wanted to know why I want to drain/flush.They said the ones they service dont usually need it.So I guess I will just go get a refund for the atf I bought.Open to info if anyone knows how to get it done:confused:

The eCVT does use a special rated trans fluid , I just got mine straight from Dealer. The fill and drain plugs are about at 9 o'clock and 6 o'clock respectively. I think if you are down there you will see what I mean. I also ran across the coolant plug and finally checked the factory service manual. I highly recommend getting one if you plan t do work on this car as it helps you avoid the "extras" :confused: from the hybrid systems.:lightbulb

Thanks for the reply so is the 9 O,clock one near the drive axle? 6 O,clock one is the one you see looking back at you after splash shield is removed?

Re: Want to drain/flush ECVT
 

If i recall correctly, the perspective was using the drive shaft axle point as the center and going 9 and 6 oclock. I went looking for a pic but cant find one. I DO have a pdf of the HEV service if you need it... not sure if the site allows uploads though probably not with copyrights and all eh? I guess if you need it you can drop me a private message and I can find a way to shoot you over a diagram.

These are pictures from my 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid, I want to drain the fluid. Can someone tell me which Torx Bolt do I have to loosen to drain the fluid, and which bolt do I unscrew to add the Matic W Fluid.

Can I purchase this Toyota WS ATF, since Toyota Makes the Altima eCVT, and WS ATF is compatible with the Prius and Camry Hybrid.

1- eCVT Transfluid fill plug
2- eCVT Transfluid DRAIN plug
3- eCVT Coolant drain

Hope this helps!
Happy holidays!

Thank you, Replaced the fluid, at 80k Miles, it was still Blackish Red, personally thought the fluid could've of lasted another 30k miles. Replaced 4.25 quarts of Matic W (60$ Total (5qts)). Rigged this contraption with a garden hose. When I was adding the Matic W ATF, it was dripping a little bit from the fill hole, so you have to go really slow. Nonetheless I took my time pouring the fluid in the funnel, it still dripped a little bit. So after pouring 4.5 quarts I had .25 quarts drip in the drain pain from fill hole that I placed underneath the car. https://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a...D550/ry%3D400/
