Shew...I had a 2009 Maxima with the CVT. Nissan uses JATCO CVT transmissions. Not surprisingly, Blackstone gave me cautionary warnings over the entire (short, IMO) 150,000 mile life of my Maxima. Suffering through the experience of locating a used (low mileage) CVT transmission, paying for a...

To the OP, the 3UR-FBE engine is literally indestructible. My prior 2009 Tundra 5.7L was amazing. Even with regular 10,000-12,000 OCI's, Blackstone consistently said "increase the OCI" by another 1000-2000 miles. This engine is incredibly over-engineered and is very easy on oil. Great UOA and...

This is the first UOA I've done with my 2015 Accord EX-L V6 / 6AT. The transmission is coming next and I'm REALLY keeping my fingers crossed. Lots of people talk about excess wear in the VCM engines. It seems I am not noticing this (thank goodness!) At any rate, I am pleased. Hopeful for 300,000...

I have literally no idea how to copy and past the actual wear metal results from the Blackstone UOA report, but below is their interpretation: OCI is 9812 miles and 35,680 mi on engine. TRAVIS: We found excess silicon in this sample from your Accord, but aside from that, things look good...

Well folks - iron level of 145 is certainly significant. No valve body replacement - new transmission. Pulled pan and found tons of metal shavings. Looked like someone had taken a knife and sliced off big long strips of metal. Something came loose in there and has absolutely chewed something all...

Thanks guys! MUCH more helpful than the folks over at the Maxima.org forum. And yes - have only used Nissan NS-2 fluid. Will be changing to Amsoil soon, but for now, I'm going to refill with the NS-2 and (assuming the valve body fixes it) most likely will replace in 5,000 miles with Amsoil...

Hi All - first post here, but need some help. 2010 Nissan Maxima with the belt CVT transmission with 148,000mi. This transmission is the Nissan RE090FB (Jatco JF010E) - in all V6 equipped Altima and Maximas. Car has been WONDERFUL with only basic maintenance. Very suddenly, Saturday, the...
