Oct-92

ACDelco CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) Fluid is critical in ensuring the proper operation and maintenance of GM CVTs. CVTs are 'step-less', lacking the gears of a traditional automatic transmission, and the use of this fluid will assist in guaranteeing the CVT’s advantages in efficiency. The continuously variable transmission fluid specifications are a function of the design parameters for the transmission. Each CVT has its own specific requirements. Not all CVT fluids are the same. Check owner manual for proper application.

Description

CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) Automatic Transmission Fluid - 32 oz

Warranty: No Warranty

Features & Benefits:

  • Specific coefficient of friction intended only for CVTs ensures smooth ratio changes without power interruption, enables engine to remain at its maximum power RPM, and provides for consistent, uninterrupted acceleration
  • Fluid is colored green (as opposed to traditional red transmission fluids) to provide for simple visual identification of proper fluid for CVT-specific use
  • Use of this product assists in guaranteeing the CVT's advantages in efficiency

FAQ

Q: Can I use the new ACDelco CVT Fluid in an older CVT (for instance: 2002-2007 Saturn ION and VUE with the VT25E (VTi) transaxle)?
A: Yes, but only if that fluid is recommended for use in your vehicle. Always use the fluid recommended in the owner's manual, if the fluid has changed it will be reflected in the use of a new part number at the time of sale.

Q: Is ACDelco CVT Fluid different from traditional transmission fluids?
A: Yes, CVT fluids are designed to work slightly differently than ‘normal' transmission fluids because the two transmissions work differently. Use the fluid recommended in the owner's manual.

Q: Is ACDelco CVT Fluid different from previous CVT fluids?
A: Yes, all transmission fluids continue to evolve and give better protection than the previous generation. With better protection come longer change intervals. Just as DEXRON-VI is better than DEXRON-III, the new CVT fluids are better than the old.

Q: Does my transmission fluid need to be changed as regularly as my oil?
A: No, transmission fluid is designed to last much longer than most engine oils. Always refer to your vehicle owner's manual to identify how often and when your transmission fluid should be changed. Severe usage and regular usage descriptions are provided.

Q: Are there common causes of transmission fluid contamination?
A: Yes, contaminants most often come from metal filings or ‘burnt' byproducts from extreme usage or fluid degradation over time.

Q: Are there preventative steps I can take to minimize contamination?
A: Yes, inspect the fluid using the dip stick at every oil change to determine if degradation or contamination is occurring.

Q: Can I identify which transmission fluid(s) are applicable/appropriate for my vehicle?
A: Yes, refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the specific fluid for your vehicle.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting

  • Causes of transmission fluid degradation include overall thermal stress, mechanical shearing, and contamination.
  • Mechanical shearing affects the fluid's viscosity modifiers, causing the fluid to thin.
  • Common sources of contamination include metals and other engine fluids.
  • Coolant contamination is particularly harmful and usually requires a complete overhaul or even replacement of the transmission.
  • Signs that transmission fluid should be replaced include: transmission grinding or making strange noises, problems shifting gears, gears slipping, vehicle 'surging' (lurching forward or falling back), delays in vehicle movement, and/or miles driven since last fluid change exceed recommended limit.

Good Maintenance Practices

  • The use of any type of fluid besides ACDelco CVT Fluid in a recent GM CVT is not recommended.
  • Do not mix different types of fluids, as this will alter the fluid's coefficient of friction. Use of improper fluids may cause damage to the CVT.
  • Do NOT use DEXRON-VI or the green automatic transmission fluid used in the previous Saturn CVT (Dex-CVT Automatic Transmission Fluid) when dealing with recent GM CVT vehicles.
  • Transmission fluid should be replaced when it becomes contaminated.
  • Anything but transmission fluid in the transmission is considered a contaminant.
  • Always use the recommended type of transmission fluid in your vehicle, as referred to in your owner's manual.
  • Typical fluid change intervals for automatic transmissions range from 40,000 to 60,000 miles depending on the severity of the usage. See your owner's manual.
  • In addition to fluid replacement, it is important to regularly check your transmission fluid level.
  • A low transmission fluid level can cause the vehicle to shift improperly or not at all.
  • Stay vigilant - warning signs of low transmission fluid may not appear until serious damage has already occurred.
