❓ Is it possible to install gas equipment on the Juke?

Technically yes, but for 1.2 H5FT this is not recommended due to the high compression ratio and turbocharging. For 1.6 HR16DE The 4th generation HBO is suitable, but the ECU requires flashing. Average installation cost - 40–60 thousand rubles.

❓ What oil should I pour into the engine?

For 1.6 HR16DE suitable oil 5W-30 or 5W-40 (For example, Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30). For 1.2 H5FT synthetic oil with approval is required Nissan PSF-11 (For example, Total Quartz 9000 5W-40). Volume - 4.3 l for both engines.

❓ What is the real ground clearance of the Juke?

Claimed ground clearance - 180 mm, but taking into account engine protection, the actual ground clearance is 160–170 mm. This is less than Hyundai Creta (190 mm), therefore off-road Juke feels insecure.

❓ Is it worth buying a Juke with a CVT?

CVT JF015E reliable provided timely oil changes (every 60,000 km). If the service history is unknown, it is better to choose a mechanic. Signs of wear of the variator: jerks during acceleration, delays when switching, hum.
