    Nissan Maxima rattling under load
    Answered by Graham Smith · 5 July 2013

    Our Nissan specialist says the CVT is quite a reliable unit, but with the proviso that the oil is changed as recommended at 100,000 km. Do that, it is claimed and the CVT will do many more than 140,000 km.

    NISSAN specialist Jerry Newman says that, though Nissan doesn't include a transmission service in its service schedule, he would recommend having it done at about the mileage of your cars. The Maxima doesn't use synthetic transmission oil, so it's not a long-life oil, and oils do become contaminated with use over time.
