Nissan leaf oil change
I know the leaf has about 1/4 of an automatic transmission, pretty much a single reduction gear, parking brake and differential. No shifting gears, no reverse gear, no torque converter, no clutch packs, lockup, hydraulic solenoids, valve bodies, pumps, coolers, filters and so on.
So I looked up what takes to do it.
Looks like nissan does not recommended an oil change for the early leaf, but by 2015 they are saying to change it at something like 110,000 miles. Maybe nissan didn't think they would last 100k miles.
Only needs about 1.5 quarts of oil.
Some people have changed 2011 through 2013 leaf cars with 40k to 60k miles and the oil looked pretty done. One guy I found who posted pictures changed his at 80k miles and it looked like used motor oil.
I was considering using Mobil1 synthetic ATF.
Unless there's something better?
