A typical drain-and-fill for a 2011 Nissan Juke CVT uses about 7 quarts (roughly 6.6 liters). If you’re performing a full system drain that also clears the torque converter, the total can approach 9 quarts (about 8.5 liters).
The exact capacity can vary depending on drivetrain (FWD vs. AWD) and the service method used. For precise numbers, always consult the official service manual or a Nissan dealer. This article outlines the general ranges and practical guidance for CVT fluid service on the 2011 Juke.
Typical CVT fluid capacity for the 2011 Juke
The figures below reflect commonly cited guidance from Nissan service literature and owner resources. They represent standard scenarios and may differ slightly by vehicle configuration.
- Pan drain/refill capacity: approximately 6.5–7.5 quarts (about 6.2–7.1 liters).
- Full system drain capacity (including the torque converter): up to about 9 quarts (about 8.5 liters).
In practice, technicians planning a routine CVT service on a 2011 Juke typically allocate around 7 quarts for a pan drain and refill, and keep up to 9 quarts available for a thorough system flush or more complete service. Always verify the exact requirement with the service advisor and use the Nissan-specified CVT fluid.
Fluid type and service notes
The Juke’s CVT typically requires Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2. Some production batches and regional specifications may call for NS-3 depending on revision level. Always reference the owner’s manual or an official Nissan service bulletin for the correct specification, and do not mix CVT fluids.
Checking and maintenance considerations
Many 2011 Juke CVTs do not have a traditional dipstick, and the level is checked via the service procedure on a warm engine with the vehicle on a level surface. If your model has a dipstick, follow the manual. Because CVT fluid quality and quantity are critical to performance and longevity, have a trained technician perform changes and use the exact Nissan specification.
Summary
For a 2011 Nissan Juke with a CVT, expect about 7 quarts for a standard drain-and-fill and up to about 9 quarts for a full-system drain. Use the Nissan CVT fluid NS-2 (or NS-3 where specified by revision) and consult official manuals or a dealer for precise capacities and procedures.
