About this product

RE0F10A is Nissan's own name for the Jatco JF011E, so this page is for Altima, Rogue and Sentra owners reading that code off a parts lookup or a repair estimate. If your car pulls fine cold but starts to shudder, flare or lose power after half an hour in traffic, or your transmission shop wants the cooler replaced after a rebuild, this new RE0F10A fluid warmer/cooler is the part. It is a plate-type heat exchanger with two coolant tubes on top and a square base flange.

How the cooler works on an RE0F10A

Nissan did not give this CVT a separate front-mounted cooler as its main heat control. Instead the transmission fluid and engine coolant pass through alternating plates in this one housing, so the coolant can warm cold fluid after startup and then carry heat away once the CVT is working hard. Because of that, the cooler is only as good as the engine cooling system behind it. A tired radiator, old coolant or a kinked hose turns the same part into a heat source for the transmission.

Signs your RE0F10A is running hot

Check these before you buy

Nissan's maintenance schedule calls for coolant replacement at 105,000 miles or 84 months, whichever comes first, and that interval matters more on this CVT than most owners expect. Confirm the coolant is fresh, the hoses to the cooler flow freely and the engine air filter is clean. Then pull a fluid sample: burnt fluid with a clean cooling system points to an internal problem, while burnt fluid plus a weak cooling system points to heat. Our CVT limp mode guide covers how to read those warnings, and harsh or delayed CVT engagement explains what overheated fluid does to clutch apply.

Fitment

The RE0F10A was used in the 2007-2012 Altima with the 2.5L engine, the 2007-2013 Rogue and the 2007-2011 Sentra. The 3.5L V6 Altima uses a different CVT, the JF010E, and 2013-later Altimas use a newer unit, so neither takes this part. Model years near the edges of those ranges are where mistakes happen. Look at the photo and match the tube count, tube direction and flange bolt pattern with the cooler on your transmission, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. For other RE0F10A parts, browse the CVT parts collection.

Installing it on a Nissan

Work on a cold engine. Drain coolant below the cooler, unclamp the two hoses, unbolt the flange and clean the mating surface on the case before the new seals go in. Refill the cooling system and bleed out trapped air with the heater on high, because an air pocket at the cooler cuts heat transfer. Top up the transmission with NS-2 rated CVT fluid, not the NS-3 used in 2013-later Altimas and 2014-later Rogues, and set the level hot. If the cooler is being replaced because the old transmission shed metal, back-flush the steel lines, replace the strainer and cooler filter, and look at the condition of the CVT push belt. A CVT that ran hot for a long time may also need the RE0F10A valve body.

RE0F10A Transmission Cooler: common questions

Is RE0F10A the same transmission as JF011E?

Yes. RE0F10A is the Nissan designation and JF011E is the Jatco designation for the same CVT, so parts listed under either name serve the same unit.

Does this fit a 2010 Altima 3.5 V6?

No. The V6 Altima uses the JF010E CVT. This cooler is for the 2.5L four-cylinder Altima with the RE0F10A.

Can I use NS-3 fluid after replacing the cooler?

Not in an RE0F10A. These cars take NS-2 rated CVT fluid. NS-3 is for 2013-later Altimas and 2014-later Rogues and is not interchangeable.

Why does my Rogue only slip when it is hot?

Hot, degraded fluid loses grip on the belt and pulleys. A restricted cooler, old coolant or a weak radiator lets the CVT run hotter than it should, so check cooling before replacing internal parts.

Do I need a scan tool after replacing the cooler?

Not for the cooler alone. If you also cleared codes or replaced internal parts, run the TCM initialization and test drive so the transmission relearns.
