From owner manual "CVT fluid: Suzuki CVT GREEN 1, Shell GREEN 1V LUBEGARD® Universal CVT Fluid". I could not find those fluids, I like to know if other brands can be use beside Suzuki GREEN and Shell GREEN.
I plan to use Vavoline synthetic CVT fluid. just wonder if anyone else use the Vavline fluid before.
I use it for my 2007 Nissan Altima SL (4 cyl, CVT), it seems to work well.
What brand of CVT fluid do you use?
If you haven't ever replaced the fluid before 95k, it was waaay long overdue. You'll need to do at least a couple more drain and fills to make any kind of difference in the quality of the fluid remaining in the trans. The solution to pollution is dilution. I did 3 drain and fills at around 80k. On the 3rd and last drain, I was just beginning to barely see through the fluid as is was draining. I'm planning on another 3 D/Fs when it hits 100k. I used the OE Suzuki CVT fluid last time, and if I can get it at a decent price as last time, that's what I'll use again.

This is the stuff. 6gal box , very little waist when compared to quart bottles. Very high quality fluid and about 6 dollars a qt and it doesn’t smell bad . Use some and the rest will coax you into repeating the service down the road. Don’t skip checking and cleaning pickup screen and pan floor for dreaded chrome peelings .use only hand tools tightening pan bolts . Very minimal thread material there.

Thanks!
I just get this from my local parts store but my local fuel oil distributor has it also. I know this doesnt help you but it may give you a place to start . The quick lube places really like this kind of packaging with the ever growing types and viscosities of fluids they must stock.
