You still can change CVT fluid but it must be done under the car, Look on YouTube.

2019 Nissan Versa SV. I found the dipstick. From a transmission diagram. You have to jack up the car and place it on jack stands. At least the left front. Find the transmission drain plug and look just above it into the engine bay. You may need a flashlight as it is dark in there. Now getting to the dipstick and then filling it will be another challenge. It looks like it is either the window washer tank or coolant tank is immediately above the dipstick from the top. I don't know it is so darn hot out right now that I was happy just to find the dipstick! Some parts will definitely have to be removed from the top though for access and fill.

nissan did this on purpose so you have to go back to the dealer so you get service from them for you CVT transmission. ( they called this dealer specialty item.) back in my days . if you likethe car keep it but look up all the problems that the CVT transmission has and cars that have this problems. and the class action law suit that took places against nissan i would not recomend even buying any car that has these type of trans mission in it. they ar nothing but costly problems for the consumer .my honest opinion dont buy any car that has a CVT transmission in it .
