Lubeguard red or black for addition to a FM ATF?

They do.

But then one has to know how to properly formulate those esters in a product.

CVT's rely on special "traction" additives whereas the LubeGard fluid conversion series uses special friction modifiers.

You really don't want to modify the traction coefficients nor the friction coefficients.

I would have to see some fairly comprehensive test results in order to even begin to take this product at all seriously.

So would I.

i also saw at napa auto parts, there was lubegard purple for power steering fluid
since my camry takes dexron or an ATF which isn't its ATF, but GMs, ironically (though i bought maxlife, so it is used for my PS and will be used for my tranny fluid, the current fill is from a quick lube place and i'll be draining and filling it with maxlife soon).

Anyways, should I add the purple to my PS reservoir, or do I add lubegard red to my PS reservoir since it's tranny fluid? but then it's not an ATF and is a PS system, so i'm confused, use PS lubegard for the PS, or use lubegard red ATF for the PS since the fluid is ATF?

basically, is it system-dependent, or fluid-dependent?

any other lubegards out there I don't know of like blue, or green, or anything else?

i saw a purple today for power steering fluid

Amalie, Amsoil, Redline, Eneos, Lubegard, Cam2, Peak, Smartblend, BG, Smittys, Mag1, Advantage, Wynns, .... have a lot at stake if the CVTs using their fluids all start failing.

i see, there is Lubegard CVT fluid, but the nissan says USE ONLY NISSAN fluid, so would this work?

i was looking more for an additive for CVTs, namely nissan CVTs, like the lubegard red, rather than lubegard tranny fluid, if you know what I mean, an additive like the red (the red can't be used as tranny fluid alone, unlike the lubegard cvt you guys suggested)

This does not compute or equate.

These are commercial additives listed above, not Third Party additives like LubeGard.

Use the Nissan CVT fluid.

None of the Third Party additives will guarantee longer transmission life.

What did the major blenders leave out of their formulations that require LubeGard or similar?
