CastrolTransmax ATF/CVT Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid, 1 Gallon

Those of us with a CVT who want to avoid the very costly overhaul or replacement of our transmissions, should replace the fluid at regular intervals. Unfortunately, the stealerships and other service centers will take you to the cleaners for doing this very easy job. And even when we want to do it ourselves, the cost of the fluid can make us put it off. That is where Castrol comes to our rescue. This is just as good as the more expensive NS-3 rated brands. I have bought it before, used it a few times, put many miles on the vehicle, then used it again. I have experienced zero issues, and saved a lot of money using it. My vehicle is a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander with 105K miles as of this review. So far, I have drained and refilled the CVT three times and it works as well as the day I drove it off the lot.Five stars all day long!!!

Got an 85 LeBaron a year ago that was having some awful shifting issues. Drained the old fluid, new pan filter and this fluid and I was back in business. Shifts great and has held up 6+ months later. Great price!

Working perfectly on my 2014 Mazda 3. To do a good number of drain and fills would have cost me around 300 dollars in Mazda oem. Love Castrol.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Castrol Transmax ATF/CVT is an excellent universal transmission fluid. I used it in my vehicle, and the transmission is running smoother and shifting more efficiently. The 1-gallon size is convenient for multiple uses or a full change. It meets the specifications for various cars, which is a big plus. The fluid seems to be high-quality, and I haven’t had any issues since using it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable ATF fluid!

Took care of the CVT whine on used car I bought. Going strong for two years and one drain/fill each year.

I've ran this fluid going on for 3 years now, and my transmission has been doing well. I do partial change at least once a year, as I usually drive out of state and want to keep the fluid fresh. Is it excessive? Probably, but fluid change is cheaper than a replacement transmission.

As for all of us, we all have our own stories to tell. My car has 80K on it and I've taken it to the dealer every 30k for the flush. Something happened during last years winter. The transmission was just shifting funny, no pickup, and then the whining sound started. Being its a $340 dollar drop taking it to the dealer to flush it.Talk about BS not having a transmission dipstick to check fluid level so it forces you taking it to the dealer. Here's a piece of info that is total BS i heard from the dealer. I'm paying them $340 dollars to suck the fluid out with a machine without even replacing the two filters inside the transmission. There's the main pan filter and there's another one that on the auxiliary cooler that goes to the radiator. Doesn't this make you wonder eventually the filters will get clogged up and cause the CVT to fail by overheating. I'm certainly no expert on this but I could be right on that one.Making a long story shorter. I told my mechanic about the issues and he said he would do the trans flush for $110. I bought the fluid and the filters. Boy, I tell you the car drives like new now. Shifts awesome and the car actually has balls again. This is definitely a good alternative to nissan NS3 fluid going for over $20 a quart.

Doesn't stink , is bright cherry red , so easy to see leaks . And is universal , so very nice .
