Nissan Sylphy CVT Fluid Malaysia — NS-3 Service
CVT fluid is the single most important maintenance item on the Sylphy B17. Use Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid exclusively — generic ATF will accelerate CVT belt and pulley wear. Change every 40,000 km; if the car was purchased used without service history, flush the CVT fluid immediately regardless of mileage. Symptoms of degraded CVT fluid: low-speed shudder, hesitation on acceleration, and in severe cases whining from the CVT belt area.

- Use Nissan NS-2 or NS-3 only
