![]() ![]() The only major concern is if you needed to exercise the 7 yr / 100K mile power train warranty, you may need to convince the service center / Suzuki (via documentation, testing, etc) that you had not accidentally put in a traditional red ATF. I've had Castrol CVT fluid in my Kizashi for 25K miles, with no issues. As long as you used CVT fluid (not traditional ATF), and it listed Nissan NS-2 on the label, I wouldn't have any worries. The color of most automotive fluids (Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Orange, etc) is almost always just dye, mostly done so you can tell the various fluids in the car apart more easily. Somewhere down the line someone else had cheeped out as well (I hope, they didn't cheap out and put in regular trans fluid). The good news is, the stuff in my car was red as well. Backward compatible to NS-1 and NS-2 fluids. ![]() I'm not sure mixing with the Green is a wise idea. Recommended for use in makers such as Infiniti, Nissan, Datsun, Renault, Peugeot, Citroen, Dodge, Mitsubishi, Jeep, Toyota, equipped with modern variable transmission, produced by JATCO manufacturer (JF016E and JF017E) and other car manufacturers where NS-3 CVT fluid is needed. The bad news (for some at least) is that the Castrol fluid is red. After 3 drain/fills the fluid is much cleaner and the CVT has quieted down. After reading many positive reviews (mostly Nissan, but the occasional SX4 and Kizashi) I decided it would be a good buy. I didn't feel like dropping $140+ on the fluid, but I saw I could get Casrtol CVT fluid from Amazon for $70 for 12 quarts.
