The correct fluid depends on the transmission installed in your Versa. If your car has the CVT, use Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2. If it has the 5-speed manual, use Nissan Genuine Manual Transmission Gear Oil (typically 75W-90 GL-4). Always verify with the owner's manual or the under-hood label.
Transmission options in the 2010 Versa
Below is a quick guide to the two main transmission options and the fluids they require.
- CVT (Xtronic) transmission: Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2.
- 5-speed manual transmission: Nissan Genuine Manual Transmission Gear Oil, typically 75W-90 GL-4.
Note: Fluid requirements can vary by market and production date. Using the wrong fluid can cause poor shifting, noise, or damage, especially in a CVT. Always confirm the exact specification for your vehicle.
How to verify the right fluid for your Versa
Check the owner's manual or the transmission fluid fill area for the exact specification. If you’re unsure, contact a Nissan dealer with your VIN for an exact recommendation.
Where to buy fluids and how to service
Most Nissan dealers stock NS-2 CVT fluid and Nissan manual transmission fluids. A qualified technician can perform a fluid change and ensure correct fill and any necessary adaptations are handled properly.
Summary: For the 2010 Versa, use NS-2 CVT fluid if your car has the CVT, or 75W-90 GL-4 manual transmission gear oil if it has the 5-speed manual. Always verify the exact specification in your manual or with a dealership for your specific vehicle.
