This Idemitsu CVT Type N3 (NS-3) Transmission Fluid six-pack is aimed at Nissan owners, independent mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who need OEM-spec CVT fluid for routine maintenance or complete fluid replacement. Choose it if your vehicle manual specifies NS-3, if you perform regular CVT services and prefer smaller, easy-to-store containers, or if you require an ISO- and IATF-certified fluid that focuses on friction control, thermal stability, and seal care. Avoid using it in transmissions that call for different specifications, and consult your owner’s manual or a technician if you’re unsure which fluid your model requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use this Idemitsu NS-3 fluid in non-Nissan CVTs?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Only if the vehicle manual explicitly lists NS-3 or equivalent; otherwise use the manufacturer-recommended fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How many quarts are needed for a typical Nissan CVT service?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Many Nissan CVT drain-and-refill services require between 5 and 7 quarts; check your owner’s manual for exact capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Idemitsu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55161301172567,"sku":"B0G53M4H6N","price":131.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/idemitsu-cvt-type-n3-front-packaging.jpg?v=1790324316","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/idemitsu-cvt-type-n3-transmission-fluid-6-1-qt-pack-ns-3-spec-anti-shudder","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
