Why Nissan parts need a specialist
Nissan's CVT-equipped cars and crossovers are unforgiving about fluids and cooling, while the Frontier and Titan are old-school trucks with drum brakes and hydraulic steering that outlasted their competitors. We match the part to the transmission, drivetrain, and model year on your VIN.
Nissan parts by category
- Nissan Engine, Fuel & IgnitionThe 3.5 V6 (Murano, Pathfinder, older Altima) hides its rear coils and plugs under the upper intake plenum, so a full coil job needs plenum gaskets.
- Nissan Body & LightingRogue was redesigned for 2014, refreshed for 2017, and redesigned again for 2021; each change moved to different headlamp housings, with LED on SL and Platinum trims.
- Nissan Batteries & ElectricalAltima, Sentra, and Rogue generally take Group 35, while Titan, Frontier, Pathfinder, and Murano use larger 24F sizes; Altima and Rogue with start-stop need AGM.
- Nissan Suspension & SteeringAltima uses a multilink rear with separate shocks and springs, while Sentra and Versa use a torsion beam — rear parts do not cross between them.
- Nissan Brake PartsFrontier through 2021 and Versa use rear drum brakes, while Altima, Rogue, Murano, Pathfinder, and Titan use rear discs — shoes and drums vs pads and rotors.
- Nissan Cooling & AC PartsRogue and Altima radiators include a CVT cooler, and 2014-and-newer Rogues added an external CVT cooler to curb overheating — a radiator order should account for both.
- Nissan Drivetrain & ExhaustRogue, Murano, and Pathfinder AWD use a rear coupling and transfer case with their own fluid; CV axles differ between FWD and AWD models and between CVT and automatic builds.
- Nissan Filters & FluidsNissan CVTs must use the correct NS-2 or NS-3 fluid for the transmission generation; generic multi-vehicle CVT fluid is a leading cause of shudder and early failure.
