Rogue Transmission Service Requirment by unresolved

I am hung up between the Rogue and the Subaru Forester. I looked at the maintenance suggestions for the Rogue and noticed that the transmission is supposed to be serviced every 30,000 miles. This seems like a lot of transmission service. Is this figure correct and how much does this servicing cost?

If your talking about a CVT equipped rogue, then your information is incorrect. 60k is the earliest it is supposed to need done. and it may not necessarily need it then. the cost is a bit of an unknown, but it will be high. As of right now, nissan is the only place you can get the fluid, and it aint cheap. I'd say probably 300 to get it serviced.

I just took my Rogue in for the 1,000 mile check up. I was speaking to the service manager and he said that there is a service reccomendation for the transmission at 30K. He also told me that Valvoline is developing a transmission oil that will substitured for the Nissaan oil. This oil should be cheaper. This transmission takes about 10 quarts of oil.

I wonder if that's just a dealer recommendation. The only Rogue transmission TSB at the Nissan Tech-Info page says if you don't use genuine Nissan ATV/CVT fluid, a warranty claim may be denied. link.
 
The '08 Rogue owner's manual specifically says to use only Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2. (page 9-2). Might be a good idea to get the dealer to put it in writing that they'll cover any tranny problems if they substitute another fluid.
 
The Edmunds Maintenance Guide says that the tranny fluid only needs to be inspected (I didn't bother to look past 90,000 miles).
 
I'd be curious to hear if the Nissan maintenance schedule agrees with Edmunds. And if does say the same as the maintenance guide, I'd be curious to learn how the service writer justifies 30k changes.
 
My Nissan Quest has 125,000 miles on it. I did a partial fluid change on the non-CVT transmission fluid last month - maybe 4 qts new fluid added. That's the only service it's ever gotten other than checking the level occasionally.
 
Something tells me your service writer is on commission.

I have been reading more about the AWD transmission issues in the Rogue. Someone mentioned it in the Reviews section of the Edmunds website. Also, if you google Rogue transmission issues you will find additional threads regarding this bumping noise the AWD version makes when it is slowing down.
 
Anyone here have the issue? I live in New England so I would only consider the AWD version.

Whle I've only got about 3200 miles on mine so far... it has not had any noises when slowing down or driving. Handles and drives just fine. I go in for my first oil change next week so I'm going to ask about the transmission... I know when I bought it that I was told I wouldn't need anything but an inspection of the tranny fluid till at least 60K miles... and since I only do 10-11K a year, thats a long way off.

Hello,
 
I hear a clunk noise coming from under my Rogue not right after I start the engine, but a few seconds after I shift into D and start accelerating. I sounds like gears scratching when you don't step all the way down on the clutch pedal of manual transmission cars. It is a one time noise, then it stops.
 
It is definitely louder and more noticeable after the car has been parked overnight or longer, but if it's a short stop at the grocery store I can't hear it. I've had my 09 SL AWD for about a month (600mi) and was wondering if anyone else has experienced similar problem?

Hello everyone,
I just purchased my new 2008 Nissan Rogue and love it. The question I have is: What do I need to do with the Vehicle Dynamic Control Off Switch? Does it need to be on or off for everyday driving from work and back?
