Idemitsu CVT Type N (NS-2) Transmission Fluid — 5 Quart, Anti-Shudder & High-Temp Protection

Idemitsu CVT Type N (NS-2) is a fully formulated transmission fluid designed to deliver stable friction control, anti-shudder protection, and reliable belt-and-pulley wear resistance for modern CVTs — supplied in a 5-quart container for workshop or DIY service.

This CVT-specific fluid from Idemitsu is engineered to meet the unique demands of continuously variable transmissions that include torque converters and high-torque duty cycles. Its formulation balances precise frictional behavior, thermal stability, and anti-wear additives to help protect internal components, control deposits, and maintain smooth shift feel across a wide temperature range.

How does this fluid prevent CVT shudder and preserve shift quality?

The fluid's frictional profile has been calibrated to reduce the stick-slip behavior that causes shudder in belt-and-pulley CVTs. By maintaining consistent friction coefficients under varying loads and temperatures, it helps deliver predictable, vibration-free response.

• Precisely tuned friction modifiers for stable engagement
• Excellent low-temperature fluidity for smooth cold starts
• Reduced stick-slip during torque converter operation

Will it protect belts, pulleys, and metal surfaces under high torque?

Yes — the advanced anti-wear chemistry and deposit-control agents work together to reduce surface wear and keep moving parts clean. The formulation is designed for demanding, high-torque applications where film strength and corrosion protection matter.

• Anti-wear additives that limit abrasion on belts and pulleys
• Deposit inhibitors to prevent buildup on seals and surfaces
• Rust and corrosion protection for metal components

How does viscosity and thermal stability affect long-term performance?

Idemitsu CVT Type N (NS-2) is formulated to resist shear thinning and to retain viscosity under heat and load. This results in consistent lubrication film strength at high temperatures and minimal viscosity loss, extending component life and maintaining predictable operation.

• Controlled viscosity retention to reduce shear-related thinning
• High-temperature film strength for sustained protection
• Flash point of 180°C indicating thermal resilience

What should I expect during routine service and handling?

The product is supplied in a user-friendly 5-quart container suitable for single-bay service or home maintenance. Use the manufacturer-recommended capacity and change intervals for your specific CVT model; dispose of used fluid responsibly at an approved facility.

• 5-quart packaging for workshop or DIY top-ups
• Follow vehicle maker specifications for fill volume and intervals
• Store tightly capped and away from extreme heat or open flame

Who is this for: Idemitsu CVT Type N (NS-2) 5 Quart is aimed at owners and technicians of cars equipped with belt-and-pulley continuously variable transmissions — especially vehicles calling for Type N/NS-2 equivalent fluids or those running in higher-load conditions that demand consistent frictional behavior, improved anti-shudder performance, and dependable wear protection. Garage professionals and informed DIYers will value the 5-quart size for convenient servicing and the product’s focus on thermal stability, deposit control, and anti-wear protection.
