Lubegard 67010 CVT Recharge & Protect, 10 fl. oz.

This product was easy to add and helped improve the overall feel of my vehicle's CVT transmission. After using it, shifting felt smoother and the transmission seemed to operate more consistently, especially during normal daily driving. I appreciate that it's specifically formulated for CVT transmissions and is simple to use without any special tools. While it's not a replacement for mechanical repairs, it can be a helpful maintenance product for supporting transmission performance and drivability. Great value, easy application, and a worthwhile addition to routine vehicle care.

2017 Subaru Outback 2.5 TR580 CVT 33k miles -- Car developed transition delay from reverse to drive at 25k miles. The issue had become worse and needed to be addressed. I drained about 1 quart of cvt fluid from the fill hole. I added the entire 10 ounces of Lubegard, plus 1 quart of Subaru cvt fluid. When checking the fluid level (engine running and fluid at 100°F), the level was low. I added another 1/2 quart of Subaru cvt fluid to get level correct. The shift from reverse to drive has improved a lot in 200+ miles. I suspect the cvt fluid level was low and caused the delay. Will check back in 1,000 miles and update.

This is not a miracle product but it does help hot CVT transmissions perform better by reducing foaming. If you are using Castrol Transmax this is a must have additive! Some advice: Your best bet is to change the fluid and filters first. If your vehicle has a pleated paper filter, usually underneath the plate cooler attached to the transmission, you absolutely have to change that filter as it will block the return of fluid from the cooler(s) and your transmission will continue to overheat. Nissan CVT transmissions should have carried an initial service interval at about 8k miles to replace the fluid, filters, and clean off the magnets in the pans, and then about every 20-30k miles thereafter as the filters and magnets are insufficient to retain the amount of friction material and push belt wear they produce. Fast forward to why you are reading this, your transmissions cooler(s) are packed full of friction material and belt particles, your pleated filter is preventing sufficient flow through the cooler(s), and you're heading for disaster - no additive or number of fluid changes is going to help without changing the filters, and you are going to have to do a lot of them. You might want to consider putting an inline filter like a Magnefine on the return line from your external cooler if you have one (or look into adding an external cooler if not), as this is the last path for the fluid before it returns to the pleated filter that isn't very fun to replace. You really should have your valve body checked, the aforementioned loose particles wear the control valves, which causes insufficient pressure to control the variator, torque converter, and clutches, which is going to destroy them. Hopefully you aren't past that point, and shame on Nissan for making these transmissions with such undersized filtering and cooling capacity, as they otherwise aren't bad.

Seems to help a little quieter

This stuff works great

I have a 9 yr old Murano with 130,000 miles on it. Recently found it would hesitate, (significantly) when pulling away from a complete stop and when the engine was warm. Best way to describe it it trying to pull away in third gear in a stick shift! Took a long time to get moving! Had the plugs and leads changed. Changed the fuel filter .... nothing! So it had to be the CVT. My local mechanic suggested this on the basis that for a “wager” of $15 I may save myself a new transmission, (or, more likely, a new car!) Well, I dropped the 10 oz. in this morning and after just 30 or so miles I can report a significant improvement. The engine starts better, runs much more smoothly and that hesitation from rest is all but gone. I’m guessing that after the 150 miles recommended by LubeGard it’ll be cured. As it happens, I accidentally ordered two bottles and frankly I am not unhappy ..... it’ll keep until I need it again. Lubegard may well be the secret to eternal life - for CVTs! This really is a fantastic product. Best 15 bucks I’ve spent since .... well maybe we’d best not go there!!! PS. I paid full price for the product and received no compensation for the review. I just really am that impressed!! UPDATE ... and the gas mileage! I am truly excited about this product ..... (I know - I really do need a life!!!) I put around 1,500 miles on the clock over the holidays plus another 1,500 since returning and the hesitation issue is resolved! Not only that, but my gas mileage is up significantly! This car has never achieved better than an average of 15 mpg or so since I bought it new. Since adding LubeGard it’s showing an average of around 20 mpg. The holiday trip featured a lot of highway driving but after five tanks of gas since I returned, I’ve noticed that the indicated range following a fill-up, has gone from between 245-275 miles to 350-370. (Over the holidays a fill-up indicated an over 400 mile range, but that would have been disproportionately affected by the highway mileage) Just this morning I reset the tripometer for my usual local, 2 mile trip .... and it indicated over 20 mpg - cold start, two stops and usual local rush hour traffic. Now, I realize that 20 mpg isn’t fantastic, but, frankly, for a nine year old car with over 130,000 miles an improvement to fuel consumption in excess of 25% is pretty damned incredible to me! Now I just have to find out how often I can add LubeGard so I can get another 130,000 miles out of the car! Based on my experience, I can see no reason NOT to use LubeGard in a CVT. I dare say that it will likely prevent the problems I experienced and certainly improves gas mileage. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it.

So far I haven’t seen any change in the way the transmission is operating. Could just be the transmission is going out.

I added this during a fluid flush but cant say that its done anything noticeable. The shifting has improved but that may just be the new fluid. Since there was an improvement, I gave this 3 stars.

Good product but to expensive

My Dad’s 2010 Nissan Rogue just started slipping. I removed 296ml old trans fluid and added 1 bottle of Lubegard CVT. (Same amount). Took a week before any noticable change. But he says big difference now. This stuff worked very well. He was about to scrap the car since the trans cost big money to fix. So for $30 i spent on Lubegard CVT saved him doing that. He doesn’t drive much so hopfully this stuff lasts. Good Product. Total Spent on this fix: Lubegard CVT $30 300ml fluid syringe $15 Worth it!

Produto original de ótimaqualidade, chegou antes do prazo.

Excelente producto, le quitó un ruido de golpeteo al cambiar de velocidades y también mejoro cuando se hacen los cambios, definitivamente lo usaré por siempre. La mejoría la presento el carro después de 6 meses.
