If you are using Castrol Transmax this is a must have additive!Some advice: Your best bet is to change the fluid and filters first. If your vehicle has a pleated paper filter, usually underneath the plate cooler attached to the transmission, you absolutely have to change that filter as it will block the return of fluid from the cooler(s) and your transmission will continue to overheat. Nissan CVT transmissions should have carried an initial service interval at about 8k miles to replace the fluid, filters, and clean off the magnets in the pans, and then about every 20-30k miles thereafter as the filters and magnets are insufficient to retain the amount of friction material and push belt wear they produce. Fast forward to why you are reading this, your transmissions cooler(s) are packed full of friction material and belt particles, your pleated filter is preventing sufficient flow through the cooler(s), and you're heading for disaster - no additive or number of fluid changes is going to help without changing the filters, and you are going to have to do a lot of them. You might want to consider putting an inline filter like a Magnefine on the return line from your external cooler if you have one (or look into adding an external cooler if not), as this is the last path for the fluid before it returns to the pleated filter that isn't very fun to replace. You really should have your valve body checked, the aforementioned loose particles wear the control valves, which causes insufficient pressure to control the variator, torque converter, and clutches, which is going to destroy them. Hopefully you aren't past that point, and shame on Nissan for making these transmissions with such undersized filtering and cooling capacity, as they otherwise aren't bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost as good as a new transmission

B. · January 14, 2025

I have a 2015 Nissan with a CVT transmission. When getting a free oil change at the dealership a few years ago they told me the transmission was showing a code and I would need to replace the transmission, at my expense. The only problem I was having with it was some shudder upon acceleration. After a few years, it had gotten worse and more often, so I was considering whether I should get rid of it or just drive it till it died. I researched the problem and saw a recommendation for the Lubegard CVT Recharge & Protect and figured it was worth a try. I added a full bottle and noticed a slight improvement within a few days. The package said it may take a month or so to get the full benefit. After two months, the transmission is significantly improved and almost never gives me any shudder. Maybe not as good as a new transmission, but almost, and much cheaper. If you have CVT problems, I would definitely recommend trying this.

The bottle was open when it arrived and even a little dirty... However, it reduced the amount of jerks in my failing CVT transmission. Recommendable, though these products rarely work and rarely last.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved my a ....... bacon!

I have a 9 yr old Murano with 130,000 miles on it. Recently found it would hesitate, (significantly) when pulling away from a complete stop and when the engine was warm. Best way to describe it it trying to pull away in third gear in a stick shift! Took a long time to get moving! Had the plugs and leads changed. Changed the fuel filter .... nothing! So it had to be the CVT. My local mechanic suggested this on the basis that for a “wager” of $15 I may save myself a new transmission, (or, more likely, a new car!) Well, I dropped the 10 oz. in this morning and after just 30 or so miles I can report a significant improvement. The engine starts better, runs much more smoothly and that hesitation from rest is all but gone. I’m guessing that after the 150 miles recommended by LubeGard it’ll be cured. As it happens, I accidentally ordered two bottles and frankly I am not unhappy ..... it’ll keep until I need it again. Lubegard may well be the secret to eternal life - for CVTs!This really is a fantastic product. Best 15 bucks I’ve spent since .... well maybe we’d best not go there!!!PS. I paid full price for the product and received no compensation for the review. I just really am that impressed!!UPDATE ... and the gas mileage!I am truly excited about this product ..... (I know - I really do need a life!!!)I put around 1,500 miles on the clock over the holidays plus another 1,500 since returning and the hesitation issue is resolved! Not only that, but my gas mileage is up significantly! This car has never achieved better than an average of 15 mpg or so since I bought it new. Since adding LubeGard it’s showing an average of around 20 mpg. The holiday trip featured a lot of highway driving but after five tanks of gas since I returned, I’ve noticed that the indicated range following a fill-up, has gone from between 245-275 miles to 350-370. (Over the holidays a fill-up indicated an over 400 mile range, but that would have been disproportionately affected by the highway mileage) Just this morning I reset the tripometer for my usual local, 2 mile trip .... and it indicated over 20 mpg - cold start, two stops and usual local rush hour traffic. Now, I realize that 20 mpg isn’t fantastic, but, frankly, for a nine year old car with over 130,000 miles an improvement to fuel consumption in excess of 25% is pretty damned incredible to me! Now I just have to find out how often I can add LubeGard so I can get another 130,000 miles out of the car!Based on my experience, I can see no reason NOT to use LubeGard in a CVT. I dare say that it will likely prevent the problems I experienced and certainly improves gas mileage. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Give it time

Give it time. I have a 14 Pathfinder 143k miles. It started jerking hard during light throttle medium speed driving. A hard thunk every so often. I got this as a last ditch effort to hopefully prolong the transmission before it totally crapped the bed. Another review said it took some time to work. After two weeks, there is a massive improvement. I only get a light jerk every so often now, and it gets better with every drive. Dont know how long it will last, but it did what it said it would.

To expensive

Lubegard CVT Additive

I have used this Lubdard CTV Recharge in my 2010 Nissan Maxima for two weeks. It seems like it had helped it out with better throttle responce. I was getting some Tranns shudder, when taking off slowly with my Maxima. It seems to have helped there too, but I have still felt it shudder a couple of times in the pass three days. May be to some to know for sure, with only 400 km. I'm happy with this product, and not to pricey. Hoping that this will help prolong the like of my Transmission. I change the fluid every summer in my transmission with Amsoil, and even that has been a positive feeling.

Resultados increíbles casi de inmediato

T.M. · December 4, 2024

Durante meses mi auto presentaba en el tablero la infame indicación "Check Engine" y lo llevaba con diferentes servicios mecánicos y a la misma agencia, todos coincidían en sus varios diagnósticos (siempre son varios, si no atinan a uno entonces le atinarán a otro), los errores reportados por el OBD-II cambiaban con el tiempo y mi intuición me decía que la causa no era todo lo que me decían porque el motor funcionaba perfecto, pero una vez entrando la transmisión no había algo evidente que causara esa señal. Cambié el aceite del motor y transmisión, filtros de la misma y nada... Hasta que encontré éste producto y lo tuve en mi carrito por casi dos meses sin decidirme.Un buen día me decidí porque me dije a mi mismo que si no me beneficiaba tampoco me perjudicaría, y su costo no era significativo para el costo de una transmisión, así que se lo puse. La descripción del producto dice que se notarán sus efectos después de al menos 150 Km recorridos... pero pasando de los 100 Kms después de ponerlo vino la magia!, la señal de "check engine" se fue y no regresó!!, estaba muy felíz. Dejé pasar unos días para poner éste comentario y recomendar este producto ampliamente. Sólo de imaginar cuánto querían cobrar por "componer" mi transmisión (la agencia dijo que costaba $160,000 una nueva ya que no son reparables y debido a los años de la misma y los mecánicos pedían al menos 25 mil) me vuelvo a sentir afortunado. Había estado monitoreando mi transmisión con los parámetros de OBD-II y ahora me reporta que no hay deslizamientos de la CVT y su temperatura se mantiene controlada (antes se sobrecalentaba). En fin, estoy disfrutando mucho el manejo de mi auto que responde con renovada eficiencia!.

Excellent
