Synthetic CVT Fluid



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.

Excellent 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. 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.

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.

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.

    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.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Synthetic CVT Fluid
    By  HUGH,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Newellton Nova Scotia B0W1P0  on  July 11, 2023
    last week did a drain and fill, on my Maxima. And I changed the air cleaner at the same time. I disconnected the battery for 20 min. I was getting 9.4 liters to 100 kilmeters, now since the drain and fill, I'm getting 8.5 . Not sure weather it was the ctv fliud, or the air cleaner, but what a difference. It just feels, and drives better. Thank you.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    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. As It's The Best On The Market
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
