Will Using AT Transmission Fluid in a CVT Have Any Impact?
1 Answers
Using ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) in a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) may lead to component damage, burning, wear, or cause clutch slippage, resulting in reduced power output efficiency. Below is relevant information about transmission fluid: 1. Introduction: Transmission fluid is an oil product designed to keep the gear system clean, ensuring the transmission operates properly and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. 2. Characteristics: Most transmission fluids can be used in automatic transmissions available on the market. In fact, each automatic transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicle models will vary in torque, weight, speed, structure, etc. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid. Different transmission fluids are one of the factors affecting shift quality.
