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

CVTs rely on transmission fluid to prevent the belt or chain from slipping. AMSOIL Synthetic CVT Fluid is a specialized formula with exceptional metal-to-metal frictional properties designed to 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.

Lab Tested

AMSOIL lab testing reveals AMSOIL CVT Fluid provides exceptional wear protection and durability for continuously variable transmissions:

• In FZG wear testing (ASTM D5182) AMSOIL CVT Fluid surpassed a 12-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

Applications & Recommendations

AMSOIL Synthetic CVT Fluid is recommended for belt- and chain-type continuously variable transmissions.
