Nissan CVT Fluid Cost: Durham vs. North Smithfield Menus

If you drive a gas 2026 Nissan Rogue, Nissan’s U.S. maintenance guide lists inspection every 7,500 miles or 12 months and replacement at 60,000 miles under severe driving conditions. The displayed gas rows cover the turbocharged 1.5L three-cylinder, automatic CVT, and FWD or AWD trims. The same guide lists the 2.4-liter Rogue plug-in-hybrid rows as “maintenance not required” under both standard and severe conditions, so a 2026 Rogue PHEV owner should not copy the gas-CVT interval. Nissan’s schedule

Michael Jordan Nissan in Durham, North Carolina, posts $289.95 starting for a CVT fluid drain and fill, with cash/debit pricing, and says its menu excludes sales tax and shop fees. Its contact page confirms 3930 Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd, Durham, NC 27707. Michael Jordan’s service menu labels its figure “starting at”; the dealer’s contact page confirms the city. Anchor Nissan in North Smithfield, Rhode Island, posts $249.95 for a CVT transmission-fluid drain and fill. Anchor’s recommended-maintenance page lists the operation as an additional service.

Nissan dealer menu	Posted CVT operation	Location and terms
Michael Jordan Nissan	$289.95 starting	Durham, NC; cash/debit price; tax and shop fees excluded
Anchor Nissan	$249.95	North Smithfield, RI; additional-service menu price

The displayed difference is $289.95 − $249.95 = $40.00, but it is not a promised savings. One number is explicitly a starting price and the pages do not state the same fluid quantity, labor time, tax treatment, or payment method. Use the comparison to ask whether both shops are quoting a drain-and-fill, rather than treating either menu as an out-the-door Rogue quote.

Ask the advisor to put these items on the estimate: model year, model, engine, and FWD/AWD configuration; Nissan-specified CVT fluid and quantity; drain-and-fill versus exchange machine or pan/filter work; level-check procedure; inspection or diagnostic charges; tax; shop supplies; and any card surcharge. For the 2026 gas Rogue, the manufacturer schedule supports a 60,000-mile replacement decision when severe-driving conditions apply, but it does not select a price or authorize every add-on. For a PHEV Rogue, show the advisor the schedule result before approving a fluid service. Save the menu date and request a written total after the VIN is decoded. Both dealer menus can change, so refresh this comparison before booking.
