Inspection

CHECKING CVT FLUID
The fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 to 80

°C (122 to 176°F). The fluid level check

procedure is as follows:
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle in an urban area.
When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes about 10
minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 to 80°C (122 to
176°F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
4. Apply parking brake firmly.
5. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move shift
selector throughout the entire shift range.
6. Pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charging
pipe after pressing the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to
release the lock.
7. Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Insert the CVT fluid
level gauge rotating 180° from the originally installed position,
then securely push the CVT fluid level gauge until it meets the
top end of the CVT fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the CVT fluid level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth rag.
8. Place the selector lever in “P” or “N” and check that the fluid
level is within the specified range.

CAUTION:
When reinstalling CVT fluid level gauge, insert it into the
CVT fluid charging pipe and rotate it to the original installation
position until securely locked.

CVT FLUID CONDITION

Check CVT fluid condition.
• If CVT fluid is very dark or smells burned, check operation of CVT.
Flush cooling system after repair of CVT.
• If CVT fluid contains frictional material (clutches, brakes, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent and
compressed air after repair of CVT.

Sorry to ask a question, how do you take the dip stick out, it seems locked in a way which I tried many time to unlock it. Thanks.

No problem, asking questions and getting answers is what this site was made for.

There's a tab on it you have to press to release it and then when you reinsert it make sure to rotate the dipstick until it locks in place.

It had a plastic stopper, I put it back without rotate the dipstick and secure back to place. I wonder Canadian Rogue is different from American Rogue. Thanks for your quick answer. Have a good day.

This sound dumb but where is this tube located? I've looked around for a traditional dipstick but can't find it.
