I run Amsoil full synthetic CVT fluid and drain / fill every 30k miles. 180,000 miles of this. Runs like a dream. No issues.
I use Valvoline every 30k. Every 60k will guarantee you replace the transmission at 100k.
Amsoil CVT fluid is the only thing going into my 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5. The Amsoil fluid is 100% synthetic, not a synthetic blend.
I’ve used amsoil synthetic cvt fluid for years and never had any issues. Current Altima has 190k
200K on the Altima with AMSOIL CVT, 150K on the Rogue with AMSOIL CVT and wait for it....140K on the Pathfinder with AMSOIL CVT.
I’ve had great success with AMSOIL and it’s 100% synthetic. Not a blend like the OEM fluid
Changed the fluid after I bought a 09 altima sedan around 180k km. Castrol atf/cvt fluid and one filter used. It's been 7000km now and the car is doing fine.
