a good investment
I had the full fluid flush at my local Valvoline Instant Oil Change and was very happy. I had the service performed twice. They used the Valvoline CVT Transmission Fluid. I bought my 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage as a Salvage vehicle, and I could always tell the difference immediately after the fluid flush. I purchased the car with 40,000 miles and kept it until 225,000 miles. The transmission and engine were still good; the rest of the car, not so much.

Low Viscosity Risk
One of the main concerns is the fluid's viscosity at 100°C, which is approximately 5.6 cSt. This relatively low viscosity may increase the risk of wear due to a thinner lubricating oil film. Since CVT transmissions are highly sensitive to lubrication characteristics, adequate film thickness is important for protecting metal-to-metal contact surfaces. In comparison, many aftermarket CVT fluids have a viscosity of around 7 cSt or higher at 100°C, potentially providing a thicker lubricating film under high-temperature operating conditions.

Valvoline CVT Fluid in My Infiniti QX50
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just changed the CVT fluid in my QX50 using Valvoline Full Synthetic CVT Fluid — smooth shifts, quieter ride, and no more whining noise on acceleration. ✅ Affordable ✅ Easy to find ✅ Noticeable improvement Not OEM, but it’s working great so far! Just be sure it’s the right spec for your model. 🔧

The great choice for your car!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been running Valvoline CVT fluid since I got this sample (full size) and honestly, it holds up really well. The transmission stays smooth, no slipping or shuddering, even under stop-and-go traffic. It seems quieter than with the old fluid, and the shifts feel more consistent. I’ve heard some people get nervous about using non-OEM fluids, but Valvoline’s been solid and it’s a lot more affordable than dealer stuff. Just make sure it matches your car’s spec, because CVTs can be picky.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Big thanks to @Influenster and @Valvoline for sending me the CVT Full Synthetic Transmission Fluid to test! 🚗✨ Even though I’m not a mechanic, I know how important it is to take care of your car — and transmission fluid is one of those things that keeps everything running smooth. Valvoline’s CVT Full Synthetic is designed specifically for continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), helping with protection, performance, and longevity.

Noticeably Firmer Shifts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband used this product to change out the CVT fluid in our sons’s Nissan. He took the car out for a test drive afterwards and was impressed with the firmer transmission shifts and overall improved performance of the vehicle. The CVT fluid was shipped to our home using sturdy packaging and in spill proof plastic wrap to prevent any leakage. I received this product from Influenster in exchange for testing and honest review.

Smooth shifts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just what my car needed a few months after a new transmission. Shifts smooth and performs great. The price is comparable for peace of mind. The packaging unfortunately did spill a little during shipment, but not enough to worry.

Transmission oil always lubricates your car
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good oil for the transmission. Good quality and lubricates properly. It's not worth much, that's the value that exists in automotive products. It doesn't smell strong, which is the good thing about this brand to extend the life and quality of your car.

Delivers smooth performance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Valvoline CVT Full Synthetic Transmission Fluid in my car, and the difference has been noticeable. After the fluid change, the transmission feels much smoother—no hesitation, no jerking, and the shifting is consistent even during longer drives. I like that it’s specifically formulated for CVT systems, so I can trust it won’t cause issues down the line. The peace of mind that comes with using a reliable brand like Valvoline is huge. My car runs quieter now, and I can tell the transmission is better protected. It also pours easily and comes in a sturdy container that’s convenient for storage.

Works great in my Subaru Outback Wilderness CVT.
I performed the first dump and fill on my 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness at 41,000 miles with Valvoline CVT fluid. The CVT holds about 12.6 qts. and the dump and fill replaces 5 qts. The Valvoline fluid mixed well and the CVT was smooth. I now have 82,000 miles on the Subaru. I performed a double dump and fill to replace the bulk of the old fluid with the Valvoline CVT fluid. The CVT runs very smooth with the Valvoline CVT fluid. I also use the Valvoline Restore and Protect engine oil in the Subaru. Another great Valvoline product.
