Sds Lookup Questions Redline Cvt Fluid Nonslip

[Revving2Redline]

So, I seem to know that approximately around 75% of it is a PAO but with the remaining parts how do I know what they are, what they mean? Its looking like no big ester < 5% of any type is in this formula or if so, very small. Can someone please help me understand what are the usual #'s, what they essentially mean, and what are good ones that people want to see.
Thank you.

1% < 75%

1% < 75%

I think attempting to dissect or otherwise determine fitness for use a lubricant/fluid via the SDS is misguided at best.

I have used redline nonslip cvt in wife’s 2015 accord… change out at least every year and she has 180 thousand miles on her vehicle and she drives it consistent with someone who never changed brakes herself… Shifts wonderfully knock on wood and hoping will keep the cvt transmission running for the life of the vehicle.

And there are 13 other chemistries contained in the add pack as well.

"Any ATF fluid is a complex combination of at least 18 separate chemistries.

A CVT fluid has to have a group of friction modifiers to satisfy both the traction coefficient for the chain/pulley system and the frictional requirements for the torque converter/lockup clutch."

See (2) Images below showing friction surfaces on the lineratronic TR690 "Chain Drive" style CVT.
IIRC there is also clutch pack in the fluid coupling that locks up at low rpm once you get moving that would require a specific FM along with the sheaves.
