Purpose and Specifications

EUROLUB GEAR FLUIDE CVT 20 L is a specialized transmission fluid engineered for continuously variable transmissions (CVTs). Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, CVTs use belts and pulleys that operate under constant tension and generate significant heat. This fluid is formulated to provide superior lubrication, reduce friction, maintain hydraulic pressure for smooth gear ratio changes, and keep your transmission cool during operation.

The yellow color indicates a clean, fresh fluid ready for optimal performance. CVT fluids are more sensitive to degradation than conventional transmission oils, making quality and timely replacement critical for transmission longevity.

When to Use / Replace?

Replacement Intervals: Most CVT vehicles require fluid changes every 30,000 to 60,000 miles (48,000 to 96,000 km), depending on driving conditions. Vehicles experiencing severe use—heavy city traffic, towing, steep grades, or high ambient temperatures—should change fluid at the 30,000-mile (48,000 km) mark. Normal driving conditions typically allow the 60,000-mile (96,000 km) interval.

Operating Temperature Range: CVT fluids perform optimally between 40°C to 100°C (104°F to 212°F). Overheating accelerates fluid breakdown and reduces protective properties. If your transmission regularly operates above these temperatures, consider more frequent changes.

Signs You Need a Change: Dark brown or black fluid (fresh fluid is yellow or light green), burnt smell, or visible metal particles indicate immediate replacement is needed. Do not wait for transmission failure—proactive fluid inspection and replacement prevents costly repairs.

Storage and Shelf Life: Store EUROLUB GEAR FLUIDE CVT in a cool, dry location. Unopened containers maintain quality for 3 to 5 years when stored properly. Once opened, use within the current service season to ensure fluid integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I mix this fluid with other CVT fluids? No. Never mix different CVT fluid brands or types. Always use EUROLUB GEAR FLUIDE CVT exclusively. Mixing fluids can cause chemical reactions, reduce lubrication effectiveness, and damage your transmission. Always drain completely before refilling with a different fluid.
• How do I know if my CVT needs fluid service? Check your vehicle's owner manual for the recommended interval. Most CVTs require inspection starting at 30,000 miles. Signs of needed service include sluggish acceleration, delayed shifting response, or a burnt smell from the transmission area. When in doubt, have a qualified technician inspect the fluid condition.
• Is this fluid suitable for all CVT vehicles? EUROLUB GEAR FLUIDE CVT is designed for modern CVT transmissions. However, always verify compatibility with your vehicle's manufacturer specifications (check your owner's manual or consult a technician). Using the wrong fluid type can void warranties and cause transmission damage.
