Looking at these friction modifiers. What I read so far is that the solid dry lubricant forms are a big no no in a CVT since it needs some friction and metal to metal contact. It'd be impossible to remove an insoluble lubricant, it'd stick everywhere and would not be 'suspended' within the CVT oil. Now for the organic forms. Would an additive like Vanderbilt Vanlube W-324 with "amines, bis (C11-14-branched and linear alkyl), tungstates" CAS-No.: 1159919-46-6 do any harm in a CVT? This organic form is always suspended within the oil and doesn't stick to metal surfaces permanently or for a prolonged time. Eurol Engine Oil Treat 250mL contains this organic Tungstem/Wolfram, so would it do any harm when added to a 13L capacity CVT? My goal here is to reduce wear and tear on the belt and pulley.
