Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Castrol 03520C TRANSMAX DEX/MERC ATF, 1 Gallon, Automatic, Enhanced with Anti-Wear Additives, Advanced Formulation, Black by Tutan Guliford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really wasn't expecting much.

Warning! This rating applies to other types of Castrol transmission fluids. This review is only for Castrol 06811-6PK Transmax ATF Black CVT! The CVT will be severely damaged if you use regular AT fluids! First, I have a 2017 Nissan Altima with 40,000 miles. No real problems like whining or slipping. So I really wasn't expecting any big changes here. I was more willing to do the maintenance as a preventive measure. mainly because of all the nightmare stories we hear about the Nissan CVT. I have a pump that you can buy here at Revain and I sucked four liters out of the CVT and preheated the car for 10 minutes. I changed the fluid through the same filler tube, started the car and went through all the gears a few times. Then I did a test drive. At first there wasn't much of a difference, but after a few kilometers I noticed that the shifts were barely noticeable. Much softer! And then I noticed something that I really didn't expect. I'm crazy about gasoline, for me it's very important. My car for as long as I can remember. At 55 km/h it is 1.5 rpm. But inside, only a few miles away. It dropped to 1.3 rpm at 55 and MPG started to increase. Before that, the transmission slipped a bit, but I didn't even notice it! I hope this review helps guys/girls.
