Idemitsu CVT Transmission Fluid Type N (NS-2) — 1 Quart, Anti-Shudder Protection

Idemitsu CVT Type N (NS-2) is a fully formulated CVT transmission fluid engineered to prevent shudder, protect metal surfaces, and preserve smooth belt-and-pulley operation in continuously variable transmissions.

This 1-quart bottle contains a specialized CVT fluid designed for vehicles that require NS-2 (Type N) specifications. The formula balances frictional performance and viscosity stability so belt-driven CVTs and torque converters maintain consistent engagement across a wide range of temperatures and loads. It also includes anti-wear and deposit-control chemistry to extend component life and reduce maintenance-related downtime.

How does this fluid prevent CVT shudder?

The product is engineered with precise frictional characteristics that minimize slipping and binding between the belt (or chain) and pulleys, reducing the common “shudder” sensation during acceleration. Its friction profile remains stable across temperature ranges so engagement feels consistent from cold starts to high operating temperatures.

• Precisely tuned friction formula for stable engagement
• Anti-shudder performance validated for CVTs with torque converters
• Low-temperature fluidity ensures smooth cold starts

Will it protect internal components under high torque?

Yes — the fluid's advanced anti-wear additives and controlled viscosity retention help safeguard belts, pulleys, and clutch surfaces under demanding conditions. Its formulation resists shear thinning so the lubricating film remains strong even when the transmission experiences elevated loads.

• Anti-wear technology reduces metal-to-metal contact
• Minimal viscosity loss from shearing protects film strength
• Superior deposit control keeps valve bodies and passages clean

What are the temperature and stability benefits of this CVT fluid?

Idemitsu CVT Type N maintains good low-temperature flow for reliable cold-weather operation while preserving viscosity at high temperatures to maintain protection. The fluid’s high flash point and robust thermal stability reduce the risk of breakdown under sustained heat.

• Excellent low-temperature fluidity for cold starts
• Enhanced lubricant film strength at elevated temperatures
• Flash point around 180°C indicates strong thermal resilience

How does this fluid keep the transmission clean and corrosion-free?

The formulation includes detergents and dispersants that control deposits and prevent varnish or sludge formation on internal parts. Corrosion inhibitors protect metal surfaces, helping to maintain component tolerances and prolong service intervals.

• Superior deposit control reduces buildup on valves and passages
• Rust and corrosion protection for internal metal parts
• Maintains hydraulic cleanliness for consistent shift behavior

Who is this for? Idemitsu CVT Type N (NS-2) — 1 Quart is aimed at technicians, DIY vehicle owners, and fleet operators who need a reliable CVT fluid meeting NS-2 specifications. It's suited for vehicles with belt-type or chain-type CVTs that call for a Type N fluid, especially in applications requiring anti-shudder control, strong anti-wear protection, and stable viscosity under high torque. Use this product where the manufacturer specifies NS-2/Type N compatibility to ensure proper transmission performance and longevity.
