S113023 Development of Fuel Economy Continuous Variable Transmission Fluid

Abstract

A new fuel economy Continuous Variable Transmission Fluid (CVT Fluid) has been developed with the aim of improving fuel economy by reducing fluid churning resistance and drag resistance. One feature of the fuel economy CVT Fluid is that it has high performance of shear stability and lubrication even though it has reduced viscosity. That was achieved by innovatively blending the base oil and viscosity index improver. This article describes the characteristics of a new CVT Fluid.
