VerRich Transmission Dipstick 31086-JA00A

If you want a direct way to check CVT fluid level, this replacement dipstick is designed for that specific job. It is a simple maintenance tool, not a part for monitoring fluid while driving.

If you prioritize a clear visual check, the stainless steel blade has markings intended to make the level easier to read. If you prefer a tool that stays in place during operation, this is not that kind of gauge.

The listed fitment spans several Nissan models and years, but the exact match matters: confirm your vehicle and OE part number before ordering.

Where it shines

This dipstick references OE numbers 31086-JA00A and 31086-JA000. Its stated purpose is checking transmission fluid level, which can make it useful during routine maintenance when you want to inspect the level directly instead of guessing. The metal tip has clear marks, while the stainless steel construction is described as rust-resistant. A durable plastic ring forms the handle, giving you a point to grip when removing or inserting it.

For a practical check, picture the vehicle parked for maintenance: you remove the dipstick, read the fluid level against the marks, and return it to the tube. Follow the checking procedure specified for your vehicle, the product information does not provide one. This is a focused replacement tool, rather than a broader transmission service kit or a gauge intended to be read on the move.

You’ll appreciate it if you need a dipstick for checking CVT fluid and its OE reference matches your existing part. The listed fitment covers Altima from 2007 to 2020, Rogue from 2013 to 2022, and Maxima and Murano from 2006 to 2022.

What to know

Fitment is the key decision point. The product name mentions Quest, but the stated applicable-model list does not include it, so do not assume it fits a Quest based on the title alone. The listing also identifies the part for CVT applications, it does not establish compatibility with every transmission or trim within the model-year ranges. Check the vehicle’s requirements and compare the OE number before buying.

The dipstick is designed solely for fluid-level checks. The product information specifically advises against driving with it in the tube, so it should not be treated as a permanent replacement for any component meant to remain installed during operation. It also does not replace fluid service or diagnose transmission problems. It provides a way to read a level, not a repair solution.

It may not suit you if you need a driving-time monitor, a complete maintenance kit, or certainty about fitment without checking your vehicle details. Without having tried it, the practical case for this part rests on matching the reference number and the stated application—not on claims beyond the listed construction and markings.

Best use cases

This replacement makes the most sense when the original dipstick is missing or needs replacement and you want a straightforward tool for checking CVT fluid level. The stainless steel blade and marked tip are relevant if readability and rust resistance matter for a part handled during maintenance. For someone who only needs fluid service performed, a shop visit may be a better fit than buying a dipstick, for someone who wants to make their own level checks, this part offers a more direct approach.

Should you buy it?

Consider it if your Nissan is within the stated model-year range, uses the relevant CVT application, and the OE reference matches 31086-JA00A or 31086-JA000. The clear markings and stainless steel shaft address the basic needs of a fluid-level check, while the plastic handle ring gives you a grip for handling the tool.

Skip it until fitment is confirmed if you have a Quest, a model year outside the listed ranges, or uncertainty about your transmission. That extra check matters more than the broad vehicle names in the product title: this dipstick is useful only when it matches the vehicle, and it is intended for checking fluid level—not driving with the tool installed.
