Felt occasional surges while driving so we replaced the NS-2 transmission fluid with Valvoline CVT fluid. We drained as much of the old CVT fluid as we could and used an air compressor to blow the fluid in the lines to and from the cooler under the radiator out. A total of about 6 quarts was used. The surging is now gone and the transmission is as smooth as when it was new.
