1.0 out of 5 stars NOT the same as Nissan NS-2, NOT compatible, NOT good for my 2010 Altima 2.5 S

I flushed/refilled my fluid around 70k, shortly after I got the car, and I used Nissan OEM NS-2 fluid with great results. But I realized I hadn't cleaned the pan. So that sat in the back of my mind for about 30k miles, then I dropped the pan, cleaned it (barely anything on the magnets, pan itself was spotless, go figure), and since the first flush this stuff had come out for about 1/2 the price of the NS-2, and it said NS-2 compatible, so I flushed/refilled with it because I'll take a chance on a good deal (I have Amazon Prime after all).

Everything was fine until now, about 10k miles later, when I start hearing a dull, low-pitched whine around 40 mph. Goes away around 50, returns a quieter around 60, and goes away up to 80 mph as far as I can tell (haven't tested faster, sorry). So I'm thinking wheel bearing. Bearings are silent when I turn the wheels by hand, no play... so I fire up the car and let it idle in drive up on the jacks, and I'm hearing a... not quite grinding, more of a scraping... kind of like a bad wheel bearing except... it's not coming from the wheels. It's coming from my differential case... awesome.

So I drop my pan to make sure I'm not just shaving off my diff gears, and I'm not, which is good, but the magnets are black and filmy with metal dust... so I AM wearing through my transmission at least 10x faster than with the NS-2 fluid. Not acceptable. I refilled with the only thing I had on hand, which was this stuff, but I'll be flushing and getting the good ol' OEM stuff back in there before I do any further damage.

False advertising Valvoline. I might as well have put heavy motor oil in my CVT for all the good this stuff did. I was going to put the remaining 1/2 qt. in my trunk to top off if needed, and I came upon a genuine NS-2 bottle back there, so I decided to compare the colors (because I thought the Valvoline looked lighter, but I'd forgotten I had a little NS-2 left to compare until I stumbled upon it). See attached pics. Not the same dye, probably not the same formula, definitely inferior results. 0/5 would not buy again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid CVT fluid that works well in Subaru CVTs

Only have about 800 miles in but it has improved the shifting very noticeably in my 2014 Subaru Outback. Did a double drain & fill at 105,000 miles (drained about 6 quarts, filled, drove around for a bit, drained, & filled again). Get yourself a hand pump & drill a hole in one lid to run a hose unless you just get a pump that fits where the cap is. This stuff smells awful (as it's supposed to) so make sure you wear crappy clothes & nitrile gloves. It's rated for Subaru CVT transmissions & is a fraction of the cost of the OEM fluid. Just pull the trigger & get a few cases for the job. I won't wait another 100k miles but it should be good for at least another 50k. If you have shifting issues or are getting transmission temp error codes then this is a solid place to start. Just make sure that you figure out where the fill plug is as it's not where some people are saying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my Rogue CVT

I have 38k on my 2018 Rogue and thought it a good idea to replace some of the transmission fluid because the Nissan CVT benefits from regular fluid changes. I got 4 quarts out of the drain, and put the exact amount of the Valvoline back in. I noticed a slightly smoother shift.
