PETRONAS Tutela Multi CVT 700 is a premium fully synthetic multi-vehicle Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) fluid delivering optimised steel-to-steel friction, torque transfer capacity and component durability for today's automatic transmissions over their standard service life. Its wide coverage of manufacturer specifications, validated by extensive bench and field testing, makes it suitable for virtually all belt and chain CVTs in passenger cars, reducing the risk of misapplication and simplifying stock management. Its specific technology also makes it suitable for hybrid electrified vehicles, including Toyota Hybrid transmissions. The low-viscosity formulation improves transmission efficiency and fuel economy. Exceptional thermal and oxidation stability keeps viscosity stable and prevents deposits, enhanced shear stability maintains film strength, and excellent anti-wear protection extends gear and bearing life. Seal compatibility prevents leaks, outstanding control-valve cleanliness keeps operation optimal, and optimised electrical conductivity/resistivity plus enhanced copper corrosion protection make it compatible with electrical components. Balanced torque capacity, extended friction durability for anti-shudder performance, excellent cold-start lubrication and reduced noise complete the driving experience. It meets the performance level of CVT fluids from Nissan (NS-1, NS-2, NS-3), Honda HMMF/HCF2, Toyota CVTF TC/FE, Subaru Lineartronic, Mitsubishi CVTF-J1/J4, Hyundai/Kia CVT-1, Audi Multitronic (G 052 516 / G 052 180), Volvo CVT 4959, Renault Matic CVT, BMW Mini EZL 799 and many more, with e-mobility claims for Toyota THS II / Prius, Honda iMMD, Jatco CVT 8 Hybrid, Mazda SKYACTIV-HYBRID, Ford Escape Hybrid and Nissan Altima Hybrid. Available in 1 L and 20 L packs.
