Automatic transmission fluid RE6F01A (Nissan Qashqai J10)

Checking and adjusting the level

1. Check for leaks in the automatic transmission fluid.

2. Place the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.

3. Start the engine.

4. Move the automatic transmission selector lever through all transmission mode positions.

5. Set the selector lever to position "P".

6. Make sure that the automatic transmission fluid temperature is approximately 40°C.

Please note: Automatic transmission fluid is tested at a temperature of approximately 40°C.

Note.

• Start the engine and allow the automatic transmission fluid to warm up at idle speed (the air conditioner must be turned off).
• The automatic transmission fluid warms up to a temperature of 30°C approximately five minutes after starting the engine. The inspection procedure must be carried out at this stage.
• The automatic transmission fluid warms up to a temperature of 40°C in approximately ten minutes from the moment the engine is started. The procedure must be carried out quickly:
• Connect the CONSULT-III device to the data bus connector.
• Choose "DATA MONITOR" ("Displaying data").
• Calculate the value "ATF TEMP SE1" ("ATF temperature sensor 1").

7. Remove the drain plug.

8. Remove the sealing ring from the drain plug.

9. Check the automatic transmission fluid level:

If automatic transmission fluid is leaking from the drain hole, allow it to drain until the stream becomes a drop (A).



If the automatic transmission fluid does not flow out of the drain hole, adjust the level as follows:



Remove the battery.

Remove the electronic engine control unit with the bracket assembly.

Disconnect the turbine speed sensor connector (A).



Remove the turbine speed sensor (1).

Remove the sealing ring from the turbine speed sensor.

Pour automatic transmission fluid (ATF) into the turbine speed sensor mounting hole.

Note.

• If the amount of missing fluid is known in advance, add 0.5 liters of automatic transmission fluid to the missing amount and pour the resulting volume of fluid into the turbine speed sensor mounting hole.
• If the automatic transmission fluid has been completely drained, add 0.5 liters of automatic transmission fluid to the filling volume and pour the resulting amount of fluid into the turbine speed sensor mounting hole.

Attention.

• Use the original working fluid for the NISSAN Matic J ATF automatic transmission. The use of other types of working fluid will negatively affect the performance of the automatic transmission and may cause it to fail, which is not covered by warranty obligations.
• Do not mix different types of automatic transmission fluid.
• When adding automatic transmission fluid, be careful not to burn yourself on hot parts of the exhaust system.
• Install the sealing ring onto the turbine speed sensor.

Attention.

• Do not reuse the sealing ring.
• Apply automatic transmission fluid to the sealing ring.
• Install the turbine speed sensor (1).

Connect the turbine speed sensor wire connector (A).



Install the engine control unit with the bracket assembly.

Install the battery.

Check the automatic transmission fluid level again.

10. Install the sealing ring on the drain plug.

Attention.

• Do not reuse the sealing ring.
• Apply automatic transmission fluid to the sealing ring.

11. Install the drain plug.

Checking the condition of the automatic transmission fluid

Replacement

1. Warm up the gearbox to operating temperature.

2. Stop the engine.

3. Remove the drain plug (1).

4. Remove the automatic transmission fluid level tube (A).



5. Drain the automatic transmission fluid through the drain hole.

6. Install the automatic transmission fluid level tube.

7. Reinstall the drain plug with a new gasket.

8. Fill the gearbox with fresh fluid as follows:



Remove the battery.

Remove the electronic engine control unit with the bracket assembly.

Disconnect the turbine speed sensor connector (A).



Remove the turbine speed sensor (1).

Remove the sealing ring from the turbine speed sensor.

Pour automatic transmission fluid (ATF) into the turbine speed sensor mounting hole.

Note.

• If the amount of missing fluid is known in advance, add 0.5 liters of automatic transmission fluid to the missing amount and pour the resulting volume of fluid into the turbine speed sensor mounting hole.
• If the automatic transmission fluid has been completely drained, add 0.5 liters of automatic transmission fluid to the filling volume and pour the resulting amount of fluid into the turbine speed sensor mounting hole.

Attention.

• Use the original working fluid for the NISSAN Matic J ATF automatic transmission. The use of other types of working fluid will have a negative impact on the performance of the automatic transmission and may cause it to fail to stop, which is not covered by the warranty.
• Do not mix different types of automatic transmission fluid.
• When adding automatic transmission fluid, be careful not to burn yourself on hot parts of the exhaust system.
• Install the sealing ring onto the turbine speed sensor.

Attention.

• Do not reuse the sealing ring.
• Apply automatic transmission fluid to the sealing ring.

Install the turbine speed sensor (1).





Connect the turbine speed sensor wire connector (A).

Install the engine control unit with the bracket assembly.

Install the battery.

9. Check the automatic transmission fluid level.

10. Repeat steps 3 through 9 three times.

Note: Since the automatic transmission fluid cannot be completely drained at one time, it is necessary to repeat steps 3 through 9 three times.

Attention.

• Do not reuse the O-ring, replace it with a new one after the third attempt of steps 3 through 9.
• Apply automatic transmission fluid to the sealing ring.

11. Install the drain plug.
