Idemitsu CVT Transmission Fluid 5 Quart — anti-shudder formula, low-temperature flow and belt protection

Idemitsu CVT Type N (NS-2) is a 5-quart specially formulated transmission fluid designed to reduce shudder, protect belt-and-pulley systems, and maintain stable frictional properties in CVTs with torque converters.

Engineered for continuously variable transmissions that demand precise friction behavior, this Idemitsu formula balances low-temperature flow with high-temperature film strength. It resists viscosity loss from mechanical shearing and contains anti-wear and anti-corrosion agents to extend component life and preserve smooth driveability under heavy loads.

How does this fluid prevent CVT shudder and maintain smooth acceleration?

The fluid is blended to deliver exact friction coefficients that prevent stick-slip between belt and pulley surfaces, minimizing the shudder often felt during acceleration or torque changes. Stable frictional performance preserves seamless pulley engagement so the transmission shifts are effectively continuous.

• Engineered friction characteristics for anti-shudder performance
• Consistent film strength under varying loads
• Low-temperature fluidity to reduce cold-start stiffness

Will this fluid protect internal CVT components under high torque?

Yes — the formulation includes advanced anti-wear chemistry and deposit-control agents to shield belts, pulleys, and metal surfaces in demanding conditions. It’s designed for transmissions facing higher torque and heavy-duty cycles where component protection is critical.

• Anti-wear additives to reduce belt and pulley wear
• Deposit control to prevent varnish and sludge buildup
• Rust and corrosion inhibitors for metal surface protection

How does viscosity control affect long-term CVT performance?

Maintaining stable viscosity ensures the fluid continues to lubricate and transfer hydraulic pressure reliably. This Idemitsu fluid minimizes viscosity loss due to shearing, helping preserve hydraulic response, cooling, and lubrication performance over time.

• Resists shear-induced viscosity breakdown
• Enhanced high-temperature lubricant film strength
• Better pumpability at low temperatures for immediate protection

What are the practical specs and handling notes I should know?

The product is supplied in a 5-quart container and features a high flash point for safer storage and operation. Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations for CVT fluid type and service intervals when replacing or topping up transmission fluid.

• Package: 5-quart bottle for easy service intervals
• Flash point: 180.0 degrees Celsius for elevated thermal tolerance
• Formulation supports both low-temperature flow and high-temperature protection

Who is this for: Idemitsu CVT Type N (NS-2) 5-quart is aimed at car owners, mechanics, and fleet managers with CVT-equipped vehicles that require a fluid engineered for torque converter-equipped CVTs, heavier duty operation, and long-lasting friction stability. Choose this fluid when you need dependable anti-shudder performance, strong anti-wear protection, and consistent viscosity control across a wide temperature range.
