    Mitsubishi J4 CVT Fluid vs Others

    I figured if anyone posts any analysis sheets for the CVT, this would be a good place to keep them.
    I recently sent a virgin J4 and a virgin Eneos EcoCVT fluid in for comparison. The results are below. Viscosity are almost the same for both. Eneos has almost double the detergents that J4 for had though. I've been using Eneos in my car for the past 20k and the transmission has been great. I will continue to use it in 8kish miles when I change the fluid for the second time.

    Enjoy

    That's great info and I was just about to purchase some J4 for my upcoming 100K service. My local NAPA stocks Eneos so I'll probably end up getting it through them unless it's so outrageously overpriced compared to online.

    I don't think there's been a single person on this forum submit a used CVT fluid sample for analysis. I'm sure we'll see some interesting results if/when that ever happens.

    If someone has submitted a CVT fluid sample, let's see the results!
