The Avana CVT ATF Fluid is a high performance synthetic automatic transmission fluid suitable for use in a wide range of CVT-equipped passenger cars. It is formulated from a high-quality synthetic base oil which provides excellent thermal stability and resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures and robust low-temperature properties. In addition, a superior quality additive package is incorporated to provide smooth and reliable transmission operation and prevent slipping under high load conditions.
Avana CVT ATF fluid provides an excellent coefficient of friction under increased temperatures caused by intensive operations such as continuous stop-and-go traffic conditions and off-road drives. The reduction in friction helps to minimize the risk of gearbox overheating, premature wear, and increased fuel consumption. However, the synthetic base oils and additive system in our CVT ATF fluid ensure a high coefficient of friction throughout the entire service life, resulting in an extended lifespan and efficiency of the engine. Our CVT ATF fluid is intended for automatic gear systems produced by Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Subaru, Toyota, Chrysler, Mini Cooper, Daihatsu, and many other European, American, and Asian passenger cars and vans. The special characteristic of Avana CVT ATF fluid is its efficient action under severe working conditions, low pour point, and perfect compatibility with seals. The non-foaming performance and the anti-foaming additive in the composition of our CVT ATF fluid maintain anti-wear properties by reducing air. In addition, the rust inhibitors in Avana CVT ATF fluid will create a layer on the metal surfaces of the gearbox to maintain the properties of the gearbox, which provides additional protection against any reaction of the metal surface with the acidic fluids formed in the gearbox.
The density of our CVT ATF fluid at 15°C is 844 kg/m3, with a pour point of -45°C and a flash point of 226°C. Avana CVT ATF Fluid exceeds and meets top tier performance standards set by global automobile manufacturers and complies with the service-fill requirements of these vehicle and transmission manufacturers including Toyota CVTF TC/FE, Nissan NS-1/ NS-2, Honda HMMF/HCF2, Mitsubishi SP-III/CVTF-J1, Subaru ECVT/iCVT, Daihatsu Ammix CVT, Suzuki CVTF TC/NS-2/CVT Green 1, Hyundai SP-III, Chrysler Jeep NS-2, and Mini Cooper EZL799.

Frequently Asked Question (FAQs)
1. What type of fluid does a CVT transmission use?
CVT transmission fluid is often available in traditional or synthetic versions. Synthetic CVT fluids are slightly more expensive than regular fluids, but they provide superior performance and longevity. To acquire further clarity on CVT fluid selection, it is preferable to consult the manufacturer of your car.
2. How often should you change the CVT ATF?
This varies depending on the vehicle, but, for most vehicles, the CVT ATF must be changed every 50,000 kilometers. Using the vehicle with old ATF can automatically damage the vehicle. Therefore, referring to your ATF fluid supplier’s manual will be a better option for ATF maintenance.
3. Is CVT fluid different from ATF fluid?
Yes, CVT fluid is different from normal ATF fluids. CVT ATF fluids are specifically formulated to meet the requirements of CVT transmission systems. It offers better frictional and thermal properties to operate efficiently.
4. Is CVT fluid different from ATF fluid?
The CVT transmission fluids are seen in translucent or pinkish-light red colour. Avana CVT ATF fluid is green in colour. The liquid may occasionally appear frothy, yellowed, brownish, or milky. This signifies that it’s time for a transmission fluid change.
5. Which is better, CVT or ATF?
Each fluid has its specifications and requirements. ATF is the fluid used in automatic transmissions, including some CVTs, and CVTs are a type of transmission. Both have distinct roles in car transmission systems and are essential for efficient operation. However, CVT transmission fluids are lighter than ATFs and provide increased fuel efficiency.
6. Can I use ATF 4 instead of CVT 4?
No. For a CVT system, you need to use a specific transmission fluid. Using the wrong transmission fluid in your system might cause deterioration of your system, and might even make you replace the whole transmission system.
7. What does CVT stand for?
CVT stands for Continuous Variable Transmission. It’s an automatic transmission that can shift smoothly, without noticeable steps, through a continuous range of gear ratios.
