Mechanic Says CVTs Are Prone to Giving Out Early. Then He Reveals One Thing You Can Do to Make Your Car Last
A mechanic is offering advice to CVT transmission owners that will keep their Nissans running as long as possible. TikTok user Auto Parts City ( @autopartscity ) is an auto parts reseller based in Gurnee, Illinois. On July 5, the team behind Auto Parts City posted a video that includes a tip for owners of Nissan's continuously variable transmission, better known as CVT.

'This is a 2016 Nissan Rogue transmission that we sold,' the person behind the camera says. 'And we like to make fun of these Nissan transmissions because they all blow up because of the poor CVT. But Juan over here wants to give all of you CVT owners some advice.' Juan explains that Nissan CVT transmissions include two filters. 'One in the pan itself, in the bottom,' Juan says. 'And this small one is an external filter for the transmission. Now, you're supposed to replace your transmission fluid every 35-40k, in order for this transmission to last you over 200,000 miles.' According to Juan, a lot of people overlook replacing the second external filter to the detriment of their vehicle. 'If you change your oil on your CVT every 30-40k, change this filter, and the pan filter, your transmission will last pretty much the life of the vehicle,' Juan says. The History of CVT Transmissions The CVT is notorious in the automotive community. Unlike a traditional automatic transmission, the CVT has no gears, and instead uses a two-pulley system to send energy from the engine to the vehicle's wheels. CVTs are cheaper to manufacture than traditional transmissions and are also more fuel efficient. Trending Now 'Never Seen Someone Do This:' Genesis Driver Pulls Into Love's Gas Pump.

Of course, these benefits come with drawbacks, in particular, the sound of the engine and the feel of changing gears. That can be a dealbreaker for more serious automotive enthusiasts and even casual drivers alike. And that's not even mentioning the class action lawsuit Nissan settled this summer with owners of 2015-2018 Muranos and 2016-2018 Maximas. The owners claimed that the CVT transmissions in those model years were defective. Nissan agreed to extend warranties and reimburse owners for prior repairs. Some owners might qualify for a $1,500 voucher. Viewers Weigh in on CVTs In the comments, viewers debated the quality of Nissan vehicles and how to best maintain a CVT. 'Servicing of filters and replacing the oil is all well and good, but the Nissan CVT transmissions suffer from heat soak because they operate at a higher PSI pressure,' wrote one person. 'So I strongly recommend the installation of an external oil cooler to lower the oil temperatures and prolong the life of the CVT oil.' 'This is actually very valuable advice,' wrote a second. 'Thank you for sharing what some might consider a trade secret. My now junked Sentra had 140k miles, and I doubt any previous owners bothered to change CVT oil.' 'The government forcing gas mileage created this,' said another person. 'Manufacturers trying every trick.' Motor1 reached out to Auto Parts City via TikTok comment and direct message for comment.

‘Didn't Want to Give Me My Money Back:' Florida Woman Buys Chevy Tahoe for $9,800. Then 2 Mechanics Deem it ‘Undrivable'
A Florida woman says the 2008 Chevy Tahoe she purchased from a dealership for $9,800 turned into a nightmare less than an hour later. She felt like she was being scammed at the dealership, so she hired a lawyer. Now she thinks the lawyer is trying to double down on her bad luck. TikTok user Marie ( @therealmarieg ) posted a video about her situation on August. 1. In the video, she recounts how she purchased the vehicle and drove it off the lot—only to have buyer's remorse less than an hour later. 'A dealership scammed me and now the lawyer that I hired is trying to scam me,' she says to start the video. 'Let's talk about it.' Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . What Marie Says Happened Marie explains that she purchased the Tahoe in November. After just 30 minutes of driving, a series of warning lights went on. She went back to the dealership to get her money back, but the dealership refused. Trending Now Woman Asks TikTok What's Wrong With Her Mini Cooper. Then a Mechanic in the Comments Figures It Out Just by Listening to a Sound 'I Just Bought It:' Woman Uses Groupon to Pay For Her Oil Change. Then the Mechanic Asks Her What Type of Car She Drives 'Fast forward, I paid $5,000 to an attorney, because the dealership didn't want to give me my money back or take the car back,' she says. 'And it was deemed undrivable by two mechanics. Now, the lawyer is asking me for $2,500, when I gave them $5,000 in December and all they've done is send two letters.' In the caption, she writes, 'First the dealership scammed me. Now the lawyer playing, too? At this point, I'm just collecting red flags like Pokémon cards.' Viewers React to the 'Scam' Story In the comments, users discussed scam culture in automobile sales. Others questioned the wisdom of paying more than half of what she paid on the car itself in lawyer fees. 'You paid $5k to a lawyer on a car worth $9k?' asked one user. 'I'm so sorry, but 'as is' means exactly that,' wrote a second person. 'The dealer could have helped you out, though they are not obligated to. The lawyer is the scammer. He should have looked at your paperwork and told you 'as is.' Talk to the dealer and see if they are willing to work something out like put you in another car.' A third person explained further. 'So the first problem is that, in Florida, 'as is' is how almost all used cars are sold,' they wrote. 'And it means exactly what it says. They have no responsibility to refund, repair, or give you anything back, unfortunately. Now, you have a compound problem because you are now out $14,800. Sorry that happened to you.' What Is Florida's 'As Is' Law? According to a local news investigation , the commenter is correct about Florida law. A significant proportion of used cars sold in Florida are labeled 'as is,' meaning that the dealer is not responsible for refunding or repairing cars it sells that break down—even if they break down a short period of time after the sale. A consumer attorney told News Channel 8 that there is often 'no recourse' for car buyers in this unfortunate situation. In some cases, hiring an attorney can backfire even worse than it did in Marie's situation. Others have been saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees after losing in court to the dealership. Motor1 reached out to Marie via TikTok comment and direct message for comment.

F-15EX Fuel Venting Troubles Emerge, Boeing Testing Fixes
A fuel venting issue has emerged in some of the U.S. Air Force's new F-15EX Eagle II fighters, which has reportedly left them sidelined. The root cause remains under investigation, but manufacturer Boeing is already testing multiple potential fixes. Aviation Week was first to report on the F-15EX fuel venting troubles in a larger story published last Friday about the Air Force's progress in fielding the jets. As of May, Boeing had delivered nine Eagle IIs out of what is now a planned fleet of 129 of the aircraft. On cloud nine for first #F15EX Eagle II of Lot 2 for the @USAirForce flies home to the @142ndWG. — Boeing Defense (@BoeingDefense) May 1, 2025 'Fuel venting occurs when fuel overflows from the tanks inside the aircraft and, by design, then flows overboard through special ports near the tips of the wings on the F-15,' a Boeing spokesperson told TWZ today. 'It occurs occasionally on various aircraft, including all F-15 models.' 'Some F-15EX aircraft have vented fuel at a higher-than-expected rate, which has a joint USAF and Boeing team investigating the root cause,' they continued. 'We have several potential solutions we are testing, including new factory work instructions requiring verification of proper torque on connectors to ensure that's not a factor, and the team is investigating if we may have a batch of valves showing problems.' TWZ has also reached out to the Air Force for more information. As noted, aircraft, in general, are equipped with vents for their fuel tanks. In addition to providing a way for fuel to escape if the tanks are overfilled or overpressured, they also allow air in to maintain pressure. Fluctuations in pressure will occur as the fuel in a plane's tanks expands and contracts due to changes in pressure and/or temperature in the air, including during rapid maneuvers, especially when inverted or on the ground. In flight, fuel venting may look like wing vortices or smoke. Problems with the vents can potentially lead to more serious issues. The fuel venting issues with the F-15EXs have been significant enough to keep some of them 'on the ground,' at least temporarily, according to Aviation Week's Brian Everstine. How many of the Eagle IIs delivered to date are impacted is unclear. It is also not clear why this has only emerged now, as the basic EX airframe has been flying for years. It's also unknown how a strike by approximately 3,200 machinists within Boeing's defense business unit, which just began on Monday, may impact work to resolve the F-15EX fuel venting issue. 'We'll manage through this. I wouldn't worry too much about the implications of the strike. We'll manage our way through that,' Kelly Ortberg, Boeing's CEO, said during an earnings call last week when asked about the potential implications of a strike. Though the F-15EX fuel venting issue appears to be relatively limited at present, it does come at a time when Boeing is just starting to rebound after years of serious upheaval and problems on both the commercial and defense sides of its business. This includes technical and quality control issues that have caused delays and cost growth across a number of major programs for the U.S. military, including the future VC-25B Air Force One jets, T-7A Red Hawk jet trainers, and KC-46 tankers. Boeing did notably win the Air Force's sixth-generation stealth fighter earlier this year with what is now designated the F-47. From all indications, the F-15EX has otherwise been a model program, at least on the testing and evaluation front, helped in part by the well-established underlying design. The Oregon Air National Guard's 142nd Fighter Wing has been leading the way in fielding the F-15EX operationally within the Air Force, as you can read about more in this past TWZ feature. The California, Louisiana, and Michigan Air National Guards are also in line to get a squadron each of Eagle IIs. The F-15EXs will also be assigned to two active-duty squadrons forward deployed at Kadena Air Base in Japan. The Eagle II test jets just made their first-ever trip to the Pacific in July as part of the Resolute Force Pacific 2025 large-scale exercise. Boeing has also been securing export sales, and otherwise seeing interest, in further F-15 variants that build off of the EX configuration. In the meantime, Boeing is now testing multiple options to at least mitigate the excessive fuel venting some F-15EXs are experiencing. Contact the author: joe@ Solve the daily Crossword
