Valvoline CVT Full Synthetic Continuously Variable Transmission Fluid 1 QT, Case of 6

This transmission oil is as good as the OEM Nissan NS-3......at a lower price.

My transmission is Subaru TR580 CVT. For the first 15,000-km, My transmission kept giving jerky sensations when it automatically down shifts, and low speed launches in heavy traffic were so dull & sluggish I had to give more throttle. But after 15k and as winter became bolder, car found its rhythm, gracefully gliding along the highway of life. It’s fun now. I believe I have 20k-30k of fun before I have to change CVT oil. Maybe next time I will add some CVT lubricant/treatment.

I put five new bottles of this stuff through my transmission after draining the pan. Shifted through the gears slowly while the vehicle ran on jack stands. Then I drained that out and put in another 5.5 quarts to top the system off. My 2014 Subaru Forester with 114k miles operates smoothly after doing this. It helped the old fluid out a bit, I can feel a slight difference and it's better now. I will probably change out another 6 quarts in the somewhat near future to just start a routine of keeping fresh CVT fluid in there to ensure the transmission stays alive as long as possible. I used to use this same fluid on my Nissan Sentra with the same process and we never had problems with the transmission. I sold that car at 160k and it still ran like new.

Good product recommended...Solid alternative to the pricy NS-3. Well packaged clean bottled...

Unfortunately, my year Altima did not have a drain plug, so I had to remove the pan. I realize that this doesn't remove all the fluid, but it does remove the same amount that most dealerships are taking out. My Altima had dealership fluid exchanges at 60000 and 120000 miles.nnthey are expensive. This time, when I got to 160000miles, I decided to drain and fill. I removed both filters, including the small cartridge filter that is a PIA. Fortunately, I'll likely never replace that one again. So far, about 2000 miles later, everything seems to be working very well. This fluid is clear in color and closely resembles the factory Nissan CVT fluid, which I think is made by Idemsu. Do not use the Valvoline in the red bottle because that fluid is red and may confuse things in the future. Stuck with this synthetic blue bottle fluid. Stinks bad but works great, so far
