Key Features
- Fuel economy via optimum metal-to-metal friction in CVT gearboxes
- High anti-shudder performance, avoids engine vibrations for increased comfort
- Protects numerous, compact, heavily loaded gears
- Superior automatic transmission response: smooth shift feel, reduced shift time lag
- Improves CVT reaction at cold temperature
- Extended lifetime, high shear stability at hot temperature, high oxidation resistance
- Increases wear protection of belt, chain and pulleys
- Anti-corrosion, anti-foam
Applications
- CVT gearboxes using chain/pulleys or belt/pulleys design in passenger cars
- Broad OE fitment across American, Asian and European CVT-equipped vehicles (see Specifications — OEM Recommendations & Performance Levels)
- NOT for CVT units fitted to hybrid vehicles — explicit TDS exclusion

Directions for Use
Confirm CVT type (chain/pulley or belt/pulley) and OEM fluid requirement before use — not recommended for CVT units fitted to hybrid vehicles. Can be mixed only with similar lubricants. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer's owner's manual for the correct fill procedure and capacity. Change interval: according to the manufacturer's recommendations, adapted to your own use. Dispose of used fluid responsibly at an authorised collection point.
Installation and usage guidance is general reference only. Manufacturer instructions take precedence. Visitors uncertain about installation or use should seek professional advice.
