I do anear total single pass exchange of the cvt fluid (after replacing the filter)by drain & refilling the pan and then drain from cvt fluid cooler (i.e.,the bottom part of the radiator) while simultaneously pumping back in ~ 1gpm flow rate with a pump drawing fresh fluid) new fluid i may have toadd another quart through the dipstick also. It may be a case of semantics or peopleassociating a different meaning to the word "flush". What are everyone's thoughts? Please note I do not currently perceive any issues with the transmission at this time.this would be purely preventative maintenance! I really want to change the fluid but not at the expense of damaging the transmission. This being the case, instead of just a dump and refill, wouldn't dropping the pan, cleaning out what's in the bottom of the pan, changing the pan gasket and trans fluid filter take care of the bulk of any accumulated sediment in the system and thereby reduce the risk of transmission damage? I know the trans cooler will have some gunk too but would that be a major concern? Assuming their concern is stirring up and recycling gunk back through the transmission possible causing failure. So I do research and find you are supposed to check it every 30k and change every 60k. Long story short, I get turned away based on the mileage and no history of prior CVT fluid changes. So as part of the maintenance I do on any used car I acquire, I go to Nissan to have the trans fluid changed. So I am the proud new owner of a 2010 Murano LE with all the toys available at that time. Hello to all! I appreciate and say thanks for all replies in advance
