Which fluid for my auto box?

I would like to know if I can use CVT NS2 fluids for my Nissan Primera 1999 model transmission fluid, I found it difficult to get CVT NS1 that is specified but I have gotten CVT NS2. Kindly advise if i can use CVT NS2 in place of CVT NS1.

Well our checks have shown that NS1 (red) cannot replace NS2 (green. Main reason is for the Viscosity properties of the oil. However I cannot find any information to say that NS2 could replace NS1. Therefore you may want to try posting it in the Technical Matters section of the Backroom forum where someone may have experienced a similar problem and can shed some light on a possible fix: honestjohn.co.uk/forum/threads.htm?f=4
