- CVT Transmission Fluid Type N (NS-2) – 5 Quart, 4 Pack | CVT NS2 Transmission Oil Tranny Fluid | Engineered for Superior Anti-Wear Protection and High Torque Applications

This fluid matters in Nissan engines requiring it. Made a BIG difference in my Sentra. The acceleration is better overall. Quieter and on time shifting. Highly recommended over aftermarket fluids.

Perfect CVT NS-2 fluid replacement for 2013 Nissan Altima 2.5 Coupe. However, if you own a 2013 Altima, PLEASE double-check with your owner's manual first! It will save you a lot of headaches and potential issues. This is why: -If you search for videos or read Nissan forums on how to replace the CVT on your Altima, most will say to use the NS-3 fluid in your 2013 Altima and explain very specific steps to do the job since those transmissions do not have dipsticks to measure the fluid level. It seems that dipsticks were phased out around that year? (not sure of this) -Following those sources, I almost bought the NS-3 fluid. Fortunately, I thought of confirming with the owner's manual before submitting the order. -Glad I did because the manual specifically says that my 2013 Altima Couple uses the NS-2 version of the fluid, and mine DOES have a dipstick. The label on the dipstick itself shows NS-2. Maybe using NS-3 in a car that requires NS-2 won't hurt it, but I did not want to take the risk. -Because the info on my manual did not match with what I read/saw online showing that all 2013 models use NS-3, I spent more time reading. After putting two and two together, I realized that 2013 was the transition year between the 4th generation and 5th generation Altimas, which came with a different version of the CVT. Also, the Altima Coupes were being phased out in 2013. So, my Altima Coupe - although it is a 2013 model - has a CVT from the previous generation. -My conclusion is that since the Altima Coupe was being phased out, Nissan decided not to install the newer CVT in the last few Coupes sold. Mine probably doesn't have some of the other upgrades that came with the 2013 models either. Not sure if this applies to other 2013 Altima models besides the Coupe, so again please check your owner's manual to confirm! Then comes the question: do you "really" have to use the Nissan branded CVT fluid? The short answer is NO. But make sure to use the right fluid. Besides, the Nissan branded CVT fluis is outrageously expensive. The long answer is that, if your vehicle is still under warranty, it is probably a good idea to have it serviced at the dealer with the Nissan Branded fluid until the warranty period runs out. Yes, those fluid changes at the dealership are expensive ($300 in my area, OUCH). But, this will make life easier if you ever need to make a warranty claim because the dealership WILL require evidence that the car was serviced with the Nissan branded CVT fluid. The manual actually says that not using the Nissan branded fluid "will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the Nissan new vehicle limited warranty." If you service your car elsewhere and you still have warranty, make sure they use the Nissan branded fluid and that this shows on the receipts. That way you can show your dealership "evidence" that the Nissan branded fluid was used for warranty purposes. If your car is out of warranty, I do not see a point in using the Nissan branded fluid. While there are various "universal" CVT fluids options out there that are allegedly compatible with all CVTs, on the other hand there are not that many options for NS-2 or NS-3 specific fluids outside the Nissan branded ones. That's why I ended up ordering this Idemitsu fluid. It is NS-2 specific, and it has the right color too...which is a greenish/blueish weird color. I was familiar with the Idemitsu brand since since I've used some of their products in the past and they are well-known in performance circles. The "universal" CVT fluids are probably good. Sure, the Idemitsu is quite a lot more money than the "universal" CVT fluids ($65 for a 5quart jug of Idemitsu CVT vs $24 for a 5quart jug of Castrol CVT at the time of this review). But the Idemitsue is NS-2 specific and still cheaper than the Nissan branded one. For me, the Idemitsu is the best compromise. So far, far the car drives really good. The throttle feels more responsive and the transmission shifts more smoothly. I hope this long review helps others out there!

Used this CVT fluid for a drain and fill on client's 2009 Nissan Sentra 2.5L, and the difference was noticeable right away. The transmission feels more responsive, and overall the car runs smoother than ever. Shifting is now consistent with no hesitation or jerking at low speeds. So far, very satisfied with the performance and quality of this fluid. Would definitely use again for future maintenance.

So funny story. When you change your radiator there are hoses that need to be clamped or else the transmission fluid can run out of your car all over the interstate!! This purchase saved my life and my car. Works perfectly and I am thrilled I got it cheaper here than in the local store!

Worked as it should.

Good stuff and cheap compared to OEM. Smame stuff too.

Excelente producto

Cheaper then Nissan and it’s oem

It arrived on time and was less expensive than getting the transmission fluid from Nissan. It has the same specifications as per the Nissan Manual. I replaced the pan, filter and the fluid in my CVT transmission. No issues with overheating or funny smells. If anything changes I'll update this review.
