SUPERIOR, Wis. (June 24, 2014) — Amsoil Inc. has launched a synthetic fluid for use in continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), designed to provide “excellent protection and performance” throughout manufacturer recommended drain intervals.
Amsoil said its new Synthetic CVT Fluid is a cost-effective, premium alternative to OEM fluids, citing benefits like frictional properties that help prevent belt and chain slipping; wear protection for extended CVT service life; varnish and thermal breakdown resistance; and superior wet-clutch performance.
Amsoil Synthetic CVT Fluid should be changed according to vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, the firm said. It is available in quarts, twin packs and 55-gallon drums.
