Re: amsoil v/s valvoline ?
We currently do not have scientific test data comparing valvoline vs amsoil cvt. Please look at the technical specifications to compare their differences. Replied by Tech Admin

I bought the CVT Fluid for a 2014 Infiniti QX60 aka Pathfinder. In my case the CVT was slipping bad. When on the interstate going 70 mph it would slip a little; when passing other vehicles it would slip a lot. There was/is a code P17F0 (transmission jutter/shutter) that the deal found when I brought the vehicle in for service. The service department said its ether the valve body or the CVT transmission its self. Between $1,000 for the valve assembly or $2,100 for a new CVT, by the way this is parts not labor. I decided to go with AMSOIL. The jutter/shutter is almost gone. I was only able to drain out 1/3 of the fluid. I have put over 3k miles on the QX60 and have reduced the slippage to about 5-10% of the time with just 1/3 of the fluid replaced. I recommend 100% AMSOIL CVT Fluid.

I use this cvt fluid for my 13 Honda Accord Coupe. All I can say is it Rocks! Buy it, use it, and expect a difference over the OEM fluid. Tranny performs better with no slip. Most CVT's perform ok, but after using the AMSIOL I won't go back to the OEM fluid.

This is $5 cheaper than Nissan cvt fluid. I replaced my cvt fluid cooler with an aftermarket and started using this fluid. Very happy with it!

Could definitely tell a difference for the good and the shifting of my CRV and also the fuel mileage went up 1 mile per gallon Which means less drag on a transmission and great savings over the life of my vehicle.

My dealer said I was wasting my money changing my CVT fluid on my 2010 Nissan Sentra as the fluid had long life with 166,000 kms on it, nine years of use. I told them I see a change in the fluid turning brown and gritty. I'm glad I did change it because what a difference, much smoother, no shutter , better response and I'm sure there will be a gas mileage difference. Thank goodness I listened to my son( Amsoil Dealer) not the dealership as I'm sure that it would have lead to a transmission failure in the future.
With my car I use only Amsoil products and should have known it was much better than Nissan NS-2 from the factory . My only regret was I didn't do it sooner.

I used this CVT fluid in a 2015,Nissan Sentra with 60k miles on it. I by dropping about 2.6 quarts at a time measured in a graduated paint bucket I was able to drain out the old fluid and add this CVT fluid till I was able to get 12 quarts into it at 2.6 quarts in each drop. till I had diluted the old fluid with new.
After just the first 2.6 quarts, the shifting had noticeably changed for the better and by the time I was done it was a dramatic improvement. Great product

As is typical with Amsoil, this product is superb. Put it in my Jeep Patriot with a CVT, and the whine that they have almost disappeared.

Purchased this in lieu of the OEM Dealer Branded CVT oil, excellent alternative, car runs great, have about 5k miles on it now and no negative experience so far. About half of what the dealer cost.

2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 Sedan. My first 30,000 mile CVT service and the original trans fluid was already brown in color. CVT was acting strange....jerking and slow reaction.
After reading reports about Amsoil CVT
I decided to try it instead of factory Mitsubishi CVT fluid. It took 3.7 quarts for a service. All I can say is wow....anazing! It's like I have a brand new trans. In fact, my CVT works better now than when it had zero miles on it. I am SOLD on this CVT fluid. Absolutely amazing.

I changed the CVT fluid at 100,000 miles with the Nissan CVT fluid. Now at 232,000 miles and out of warranty, I decided to try the Amsoil CVT fluid. It immediately got rid of a slight shudder on acceleration that had been there for a while. I'm very impressed with this noticeable, positive change!

Hard to know exactly how this will perform long-term, but since I have 100Ks of miles using all manner of AMSOIL products in cars, motorcycles, ATVs, tractors, and small equipment, I also have no doubt this is a top notch oil and I'll likely never have to replace this oil in my Outback again, well maybe once more with only 100K on the clock. Oddly the 2011s had no recommended drain interval, which is funny since the drain and fill plugs are absolutely easy to get to. Not sure how/why you would never recommend replacing a fluid. Just under 6L is the amount you can replace in an Outback CVT. The peace of mind I get with AMSOIL products and the ability to have extended drain intervals is second to none.

With over 220,000 mi. on the original CVT fluid in our '04 Prius & no recommended change interval from the manufacturer, I thought it might be soon time for a fluid change. I was starting to notice a little slippage now & then. Drained & refilled with Amsoil & the CVT returned to smooth, quiet operation with no slippage. Not surprised, since I'v gotten the best results with all kinds of Amsoil lubricants for over 20 years.

Sometimes I think my husband is a total "car addict". He loves anything that has wheels. His stuff seems to last forever because he insists on using Amsoil products. I have no complaint because my car just keeps on purring along. He uses Amsoil in every one of his toys and even in the garage door rollers. All in all, he has me convinced, 'Amsoil is really the best'.

Subaru states that my cVT fluid doesn't need to be changed unless in severe service (which includes almost everyone). Instead of a complete flush, I did 2 drain and refills at 80,000. Grealty reduced hesitation from a start and increased gas mileage about 10%

Whatever I own, I take care of it, oil, tranny, brakes, etc.. and I do my research before using anything. What I have found is that this product not only improved the performance on my 2014 Accord Sport but also increased my average gas mileage by 1-2 mpg and my driving style hasn't changed. No it's not a true performance machine, but it is a great feeling to know that it is protected by a high quality product from Amsoil.

Used this Synthetic CVT Fluid to replace the OEM fluid in a 2016 Honda HRV and it performed better than I expected, compared to the OEM fluid. First, the Amsoil CVT fluid stopped the annoying "whining" and "over-rev'ing" of the CVT transmission. Second, the transmission shifted smoother, eliminating the jerkiness and delay of shifts that were "normal" with the OEM fluid. Third, transmission ran quieter at highway speeds and especially when shifting through gears to pass on the higway. Finally, the Amsoil CVT fluid resulted in gaining 2-3 MPG , during a 6,000 mile road trip, our average MPG went from 27-28 mpg, up to a surprising 30-31 MPG, for the entire trip. That fact alone was worth the switch to me.

CVT Fluid
At 90'000km's on my Nissan van I changed the original CVT fluid to Amsoil CVT fluid. I also changed the pick-up screen and the little oil filter at the same time. Then over the following year I did two more fluid changes (just pan drain) to increase the % of Amsoil fluid. Now at 118'000 km's the transmission performs perfectly and I hope it will continue so for another 100'000 km's!
