Amsoil is the best. I used it in a 19 crosstrek that i got 250k and it was still fine when i traded it in.
I used Amsoil cvt fluid
I run Amsoil full synthetic CVT fluid and drain / fill every 30k miles. 180,000 miles of this. Runs like a dream. No issues.
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.
In the end, I did some research and found that it takes 4 qts to do a spill and fill, which is THE preferred maintenance procedure, at 60k miles/100k Kms, from Subaru. I then contacted AMSOIL directly, who said not only is their CVT fluid compatible with all CVTs, from 1 to 3 and HT, it was also Warranty Secured, both Manufacturer and Aftermarket. So, I did it myself. Took about an hour and used 4 quarts. I bought a $10 transfer pump. The warm-up/top-up procedure is easy peasy. And if I can do it, anyone can!
I use amsoil every time, It's the best. Nissans BS NF-3 is made by idemitsu, which is a 3rd party company. It only meets standard lubricity. I used to be a tech for Nissan but now have my own shop and use AMSOIL in almost all applications where lubricant is needed.
I’ve had great success with AMSOIL and it’s 100% synthetic. Not a blend like the OEM fluid
