Synthetic CVT Fluid – Reduces Failure Rates

CVTs require a unique transmission fluid with specialized frictional characteristics designed to ensure the belt or chain remains in contact with the pulleys without slipping AND without causing excess heat. AMSOIL Synthetic CVT Fluid provides outstanding metal-to-metal frictional properties and excellent protection and performance for CVTs throughout vehicle manufacturer-recommended drain intervals. No longer anyone says “You have to use the factory fluid or else!!” – not with AMSOIL’s CVT Fluid!

AMSOIL’s CVT fluid is known as the problem solver!

Continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) create unlimited gear ratios using a belt or chain running between two variable diameter pulleys. CVTs require a unique transmission fluid with specialized frictional characteristics designed to ensure the belt or chain remains in contact with the pulleys without slipping. AMSOIL Synthetic CVT Fluid provides outstanding metal-to-metal frictional properties and excellent protection and performance. It is Warranty Secure and is a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to vehicle manufacturer fluids.

 

Synthetic CVT FluidExcellent Frictional Properties

The metal-to-metal frictional properties between the CVT’s belt/chain interface and the pulleys are important, relying on the CVT fluid to prevent slipping. AMSOIL Synthetic CVT Fluid provides exceptional metal-to-metal frictional properties to help prevent belt and chain slipping and help extend transmission life.

Outstanding Wear Protection

AMSOIL Synthetic CVT Fluid is durable. In normal and severe service, it effectively resists wear to the transmission’s vital parts, helping achieve long life.

Resists Heat

In elevated heat, Synthetic CVT Fluid’s thermally stable formulation guards against the harmful effects of thermal breakdown. A major reason for failure is the heat generated in shifting and under low speed acceleration under load. AMSOIL CVT fluid battles this issue using years of proprietary formulation knowledge.  It resists the formation of varnish that can threaten transmission performance and life.

Superior Wet-Clutch Performance

AMSOIL Synthetic CVT Fluid provides superior wet-clutch performance for outstanding anti-shudder durability and reduced noise, vibration and harshness. We get a LOT of happy feedback on this one.

Field Proven

Field testing was conducted to compare AMSOIL Synthetic CVT Fluid and Nissan NS-2 CVT Fluid. Four vehicles (two equipped with AMSOIL CVT Fluid and two with Nissan NS-2 CVT Fluid) were driven 100,000 miles before the transmissions were torn down and inspected.

As indicated by the lack of wear in the belt and pulley photos below, AMSOIL CVT Fluid provided outstanding protection throughout the duration of the field trial, proving it is a high-quality replacement for Nissan NS-2 CVT Fluid.

A number of customers in various forums have let it be known it wasn’t till they switched to AMSOIL’s CVT fluid as when they became a fan of the CVT.

Lab Tested

AMSOIL lab testing also reveals AMSOIL CVT Fluid met, and in some cases surpassed, the protection and performance of Nissan NS-2 CVT Fluid:

  • In FZG wear testing (ASTM D5182), Nissan NS-2 achieved a 7 stage pass, while AMSOIL CVT Fluid significantly surpassed it with an 11 stage pass.
  • In the JASO LVFA Anti-Shudder Durability Test, AMSOIL CVT Fluid lasted six times longer, translating into improved anti-shudder durability and reduced noise, vibration and harshness.

Customer Comments:

Best oil available for CVT

By  KRISTOPHER,  a  Verified Buyer  from  North Dakota   on  December 18, 2023
I use this oil in my daughters Nissan Altima and it has completely rejuvenated the transmission.

Works good

By  WILLIAM,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Alberta  on  December 15, 2023

seems to drive better than original fluid which was in transmission cvt trans feel weird anyway changed fluid for maintenance with filter and screen oem fluid more costly Amsoil was recommended by transmission shop mileage improved also

Transmission Fluid

By  Brosi,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Nanaimo, B.C  on  December 10, 2023

At 90’000 km’s I changed the CVT fluid in my Nissan van over to Amsoil CVT fluid. Because some fluid always stays in the torque converter I changed it 3 times. And so far the CVT performs perfectly and I’m happy with the product.

2011 Sentra works fine

By  BRIMSTONE,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Kitchener Ontario  on  July 25, 2023
Changed in April 2023. CVT worked fine before and still works fine. Priced less than Nissan CVT oil. Amsoil CVT specs are better. Makes sense.

This is the best CVT Fluid

By  STEVEN,  a  Verified Buyer  from  North Idaho   on  June 09, 2023

This is the best CVT fluid I have found, far superior than Nissan NS3 fluid, shutter went away no surging, transmission feels tighter now the car will creep at a idle when in gear, didn’t do that before. I bought a case drained fluid only get a gallon, drove Rouge 100 miles then dumped out another gallon it’s on its third drain and fluid isn’t dark. At next oil change I’ll drop the pan and change the screen filer and canister filter on the side of the transmission. Going to continue to use Amsoil pure synthetic CVT fluid.
