Synthetic CVT Fluid

Product code : CVTQTC-EA

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 for CVTs throughout vehicle manufacturer-recommended drain intervals.

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 160,934 kilometers 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.

    Amsoil CVT fluid
    By  TOM,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Illinois  on  March 02, 2023
    This is the first time I've used Amsoil CVT fluid. The trans shifts great and seems quiet, no problems.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    AMSOIL CVT Fluid
    By  Mike,  a  Verified Buyer  from  PA  on  February 16, 2023
    I've used this CVT Fluid in my Nissan and in my Subaru. In both cases, shifts seem smoother and more crisp. My son who drives the Nissan noticed the same without me prompting his response. Costs a couple bucks more than the factory fluid, but in the grand scheme of things if it helps the CVT last longer, it's cheap insurance.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Exceeds expectations..
    By  RICH,  a  Verified Buyer  from  WV  on  February 12, 2023
    I had read that if you wanted the CVT in 2019 Nissan Sentra to last, change the fluid around 40000 miles. I thought it was too soon but was curious, so I changed it and the filters using the Amsoil synthetic CVT. Night and day difference! Car shuttered before on a rapid acceleration, seem to do the same when going up a hill. Now it's so smooth, I don't think it was this smooth when brand new.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Used in a Subaru forester
    By  WESLEY,  a  Verified Buyer  from  West Virginia  on  January 07, 2023
    Subaru does not list a service interval for the CVT transmission. For North America cars. These transmissions must have the CVT fluid changed about every 40k miles. I have found that the amsoil fluid performs better and maintains its integrity much better that the Subaru branded product. I highly recommend it to get more service and less wear out of the transmission. The cost of a new transmission is over 6k. The cvt is almost impossible to rebuild unless you have a complete service shop and even then it will never be as good as new. Servicing the transmission is easy and far more cost effective than doing nothing as Subaru recommended.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Transmission fluid
    By  STAN,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Spring, TX  on  January 02, 2023
    I hope this product proves to be as good solution. We have not used this before. Time will tell the story. Will advise how trans fluid works in Nissan Murano.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    AMSOIL CVT Fluid
    By  MICHAEL,  a  Verified Buyer  from  PA  on  December 09, 2022
    I heard a lot of good things about AMSOIL CVT Fluid on-line so I decided to try it in my 2019 Rogue Sport. Since changing the fluid the trans seems to shift smoother. Unprompted, my son who is the primary driver made the same observation. Looking forward to trying it in my other son's Subaru.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
