I don't know what the standard fill oil is, but any decent quality synthetic of the right viscosity range (and GL4 compatible) should be an improvement.

The manual is not made by JATCO.
Duh I should have known this. For some reason I was thinking CVT shifter. My bad. :oops:

If not, my guess is Aisin or some other Japanese transmission company. Aisin makes Toyota's CVTs (Aisin is under Toyota) while Honda makes their own. This may explain why Toyotas and Hondas seem immune to the CVT headaches Nissan experiences. However, neither are trying to put CVTs in larger vehicles like midsize SUVs like Nissan.
aisin makes good brakes too. There's a plant in the town I live in.
