I have a 2015 Nissan Cube, for about a year and 7 months. I would like to know what is the recommended amount of transmission oil needed before servicing the CVT transmission myself.

The Z12 was sold in the US from 2009-2014. The CVT is notorious for failure. I highly recommend an external CVT oil cooler and then have the dealer or a Nissan specialty garage change the fluid with the factory-recommended CVT fluid. Don't mess around with the CVT with Firestone using other brands, etc. Do this every 50K miles as well.

Okay noted.... thanks much for guiding me through this process.

I just got a Cube 6 months ago and I read about transmission fails with the CVT if the recommended change intervals are not adhered to. I called a number of trans mission shops an no one would touch it. I took it to a dealership and was satisfied. I did due diligence on local dealers and found one with a great rep. Also read about people using the wrong brand fluid and bricking the transmission.

You didn't state miles, but let the dealer do it. They can do the diagnostics and check the fluid coming out to see how it's doing. And if you can't stand not to do it, buy Nissan fluid not an aftermarket

The mileage is 50,800... I am going to find a dealership and see what can be done.

I think it's more of an issue of oil type than brand. I have a Nissan specialist shop and they use the required NS2 type but not the Nissan branded NS2. Seems if you go to auto zone their system spits out a variety of CVT oil types but don't necessarily specify NS2. I use Idemitsu CVT Type N (NS-2) Transmission Fluid for Nissan. No issues and actually keeps the CVT noise down noticeably.
