Changing the oil in the Nissan Armada gearbox is most often associated with the repair of the automatic transmission itself, or it is replaced with a new one in the course of work to eliminate oil leaks since it must be drained for work. The oil in the automatic transmission is filled in by the manufacturer once for the entire service life of the car. It is recommended to entrust the oil change in the Nissan Armada automatic transmission to professionals, but in some cases, you can handle this operation on your own.

You can check the oil level in the Nissan Armada automatic transmission using a dipstick. The oil dipstick has two pairs of marks – the upper pair Max and Min allows you to determine the level in hot oil, and the lower pair – in cold oil.

The low oil level in the Nissan Armada automatic transmission is the main reason for the failure of the clutches. Due to the low fluid pressure, the clutches do not press well against the steel discs and do not contact each other tightly enough. As a result, the friction linings in the Nissan Armada automatic transmission become very hot, carbonized, and destroyed, significantly contaminating the oil.
