Hi everyone,
I have a 2015 Nissan Altima sv 2.5L 4 cylinder and mileage is 145000 km. I bought it pre owned when it had 105000 km on the dash. I didn’t change the fluid and I am not sure if the previous owner ever did that.
Should I do a transmission fluid drain and fill at Nissan dealership or it’s too late and it’s better to leave it?
I plan to keep the car for now.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hello everyone I happen to be the proud owner of a 2013 Nissan Altima 2.5s coupe. My wife the other day hit a deer with it on her way to work. Because of this, I’m on the process of making repairs. During this process I discovered a connection with yellow on it that I have no idea where it goes. Can someone help? (Picture in post)
Did a mini trip to my dad’s so he could tint my altima since it came with 70% or “transparent” lamination and after 3 hours in the highway with cruse control and ofc a bit of stop and go traffic because its florida and I averaged a nice 45.6mpg on my trip back and when I got to him i got 42mpg after same stop and go traffic im surprised how fuel efficient this car is and also A FULL TANK IS 559 miles WTF i never had a such great miles per gallon in a car my 2015 veloster turbo ultimate (6speed) used to get 29mpg on a GOOD DAY and it was PREMIUM and 19mpg everyday. This is such an upgrade my first week and already put 1,500miles cvt fluid is getting changed next week :)!
Hello!
I have a 2015 Altima S, and my running light don't turn on, but my blinkers, reverse, and brake lights turn on, should I see if I should replace the bulb or see if its a wiring issue
Thanks
For years I used the Armor All protectant spray on my dashboard. I must have not used it properly because there is now a sticky sheen on my dash that reflects onto the windshield when it’s sunny.
Has anyone ever encountered this issue & perhaps knows a remedy? I tried using goo gone and all purpose cleaner yesterday—no dice. Thanks in advance Altima peeps.
My altima 2015 sl 2.5 with 67000 miles milage is going with rpm between 1-2 and something on raising reaches 3 when running between 35 to 45 mph. And have to press accelerator really hard . I understand its not normal and sounds Like CVT problem.
1.What would you have done as next step on my case.
2.NISSAn dealer workshop is close by but wanted to know of this is something that can be done outside dealer repair shop.
This will be my car for next 6 months. I m near philly suburbs.
My Nissan 2025, does anyone have a buzzing that sounds when you're backing up the car in the morning it comes through the stereo speakers like a short buzz but it only happens when starting the car in the morning and about halfway of backing up onto the driveway. I heard some people say it was when you shift from reverse to forward with the cvt transmission and all the electrical stuff that kind of runs through the stereo. Anybody have any issues with this please let me know this is my second 2025 Altima the first one did the same thing and many other things where my internet doesn't hook up all the time
Getting ready to do an ATF change on my car. I've looked around but I keep getting conflicting info. I know when I do an ATF change I also need to replace the external paper filter. But what about the internal Mesh Filter/Strainer? Some places say no, because those tend to last the lifetime of the car, other places say, yes, you should do it every 30k-60k miles or whenever you change the ATF. What do you guys think?
Just purchased this 2010 one owner trade in with 108,000 miles. Garage kept and mint interior with the Manual transmission fully serviced. New clutch, slave, master, brakes, tires, and rotors resurfaced.
I’ve read all the Reddit post, but anything else for me to do to keep this baby running for another 80,000 miles? I was planning to take it to my mechanic later to do new spark plugs and look into possible replacing any seals. And should I go with synthetic oil? Been my dream car since college. Finally got it as a daily commuter.
I bought her new in 2008 and never let her go. Currently has 204k miles on the odometer and the CVT finally gave up on me. She still has great bones aside from the passenger side my wife has swipes on two occasions.
The obvious is to just take it and sell it to junk yard but I’m open to input from those who have replaced the CVT. What cost am I looking at going to a non dealer garage?
I know it’s put in a strong 18 years but it seems like a waste to just scrap over a transmission.
I am mechanically inclined and open to repairs myself but the CVT doesn’t look easy to get to and also difficult to rebuild. Looking for any suggestions from the community. Thanks
Hey all,
I don’t know that my transmission fluid has ever been replaced and I’m just over 130k miles on a 2014. I would like to keep it running as long as possible.
I don’t notice any issues with the transmission but have no idea what shape the fluid is really in. Should I do a partial or full drain and fill? From everything I’ve read, a full flush is a no go, but a fill and drain is recommended… sometimes?
I don’t want to shock it, but do want to keep my system as healthy as I can for as long as I can.
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
I’m trying to replace the crankshaft position sensor in my 2006 Nissan Altima.
As you can see I need to remove the connect first in order to get the mounting bolt out. The problem is that I have very little clearance and have to some how push in the green tab while trying to pull out the connector
I’ve tried gripping it with needle nose vise grips, spring clamps, tiny flatheads and nothing wants to work. I’m at a total loss on how to get this darn thing out…
I’ve had this car for 5 years. In March, this popped up and the car was slow to drive and RPM would not move when I pushed the gas. Took it to Nissan and they said rodent damage. They fixed it and put a new battery in, but a few weeks later it all popped back up. They hadn’t reset the code, so I had it reset and it drove fine for about a month and now this has popped up again. Nissan can’t find any issue with it and I’m at a loss on what else could be the issue. :/
Had a check engine light for EVAP system and replaced gas cap. Woke up and started the car to this. I can’t clear the code any tips?
Ever since I bought this car (got it used) I’ve had this problem, and I changed car key batteries twice now and it still has the same exact problem. It goes away after I put the key next to the push to start button, but sometimes the key doesn’t work at all unless I unlock the car using the key fob. Is there a way to fix this?
2009 Altima base 4cyl. No check engine light pops up btw, whatever that's worth. I need to get it inspected this month though.
Got a newer vehicle so I've been teaching myself car repair on a 2012 Nissan Altima with roughly 120k miles on it.
I noticed that if I drive the highway, let it rest, then drive the highway again it whines when accelerating, this is a brand brand new problem so I want to nip it early. Ive heard of the transmission problems Altimas can have so I figured I'd check the fluid and likely just do a drain and refill.
However, whomever checked before me A. Jammed the dipstick in sideways and B. Broke the tab you are supposed to put leverage on.
So I can't unlock the damn thing normally even if I could twist it in place twist it in place. What are my options here? Do I just rip it out and buy a new one? If so, how? I'm really trying to avoid a mechanic out of sheer willpower.
Hey everyone, i need an advice for my vehicle, the transmission works well, but every time i put on drive or reverse there is a small delay before its engaged, but after that it drives normal no issues, what could the issue be and how much would it roughly cost to fix?
I recently receieved an opportunity to work in Texas. However, I have a 2014 Nissan altima, with 240000 miles I just needed to make it to Texas run another 20 to 30000 miles. From there, I'll be able to accumulate enough money. In case it does break down, I have had it a year and I have not had no issues at all.. I believe it was a used rental and got into an accident, and the insurance company didn't want to pay it. It's a little banged up. I have been staying on top of the services as I do. All my other cars. With maintenance, I was wondering, what do you guys think about me?Driving from california to texas
Hey everyone, I've been having problems with O2 sensors. I've found the solution, to help anyone else that's been having my problems. I've bought several O2 sensors for the upstream sensor(located in the engine bay next to the manifold) and the prongs for that sensor didn't fit(even though it said it'll fit with pictures). So my Altima is an 07, manufactured in January so it's a very early model of the 4th gen Altima.
The solution that I found out by trail and error is that the upstream prongs is the downstream prongs! Meaning the sensors are backwards! The upstream sensor is the downstream senor and vise versa. So if you're looking for an upstream sensor that is an early model of the 4th gen(manufactured 1/07, located on the driver side door to the right of the tire psi chart) you'll be looking for a DOWNSTREAM senor, not a upstream. The upstream senor prongs are male to male and female to female prongs for the downstream for this specific 07 Altima. Hope this helps!
