CVT Fluid
Don't get me wrong. Amsoil make good oils definitely.
I used their manual transmission 75w90 GL4 when my owner manual states "use transmission oil GL4" in my old 02 Maxima. It made wonder in shifting smoothness.
But if Nissan jumps up and down everywhere saying use only NS2 and we have no real scientific solid proof amsoil fluid is better in an expensive transmission then thank you I personally feel much safer with Nissan NS2

Old but relative
I have a 2009 with 178,000 miles and 2015 nissan altima. I change the cvt fluid every 30,000 miles on both. I use IDEMITSU type N for the max and IDEMITSU N3 for the altima. I've seen data sheets of many different cvt fluids and Nissan Ns 2 and 3 had the same exact properties and tolerances as IDEMITSU type N and N3 out of all the different fluids including Amsoil and Penzoil. Why and how you might ask, well that's because they're the same fluids. In case you didn't know IDEMITSU is the maker and distributor of Nissan fluid because Nissan doesn't make fluid. Knowing this information, I have been using IDEMITSU for years and there isn't any difference in color, smell or consistency between Nissan and IDEMITSU because Nissan just rebrand the IDEMITSU with Nissan. Moral of story is definitely save the few bucks and use IDEMITSU, I had my transmission updated at the dealer once and they couldn't even tell the difference 😉
