Thank you
Did you replace the filter too?
what about the transmission filter???
Hey Sal! I have been scratching my head why after draining and refilling the CVT fluid, I was able to put 4 quarts and not able to get any fluid dripping from the fill hole or chek bolt. I followed your procedure, made sure it was leveled, and fill 3.5 quarts and run it in gear from PRNL for 3 seconds each and then finish filling the rest of the 4th quart but nothing came out from check bolt. Do I need to get another quart bottle and do the check bolt to see if it will overfill for the check bolt? Will I be overfilling by getting another quart to see if it will fill up using check bolt?
Are you not going to change the cvt filter?
He was very thorough showing us how to change CTV fluid. Keeping the car level when draining and filling was a very good point. I appreciate his time and effort.
1:30 smh
I drain/refill every third oil change. On ramps, cold engine. I've measured the cold drain at 4 qts every time since new. Put in 4 qts. Easy maintenance…
Every 30,000 sounds right. With my Nissan they specify 60,000 miles yet there are people who either never change it at all or try to get 100,000 miles out of it. Then they wonder why the thing failed!!! These are sensitive to a lack of maintenance. It is just CVTs in general. That belt needs a specific fluid so it grips right and as the fluid gets older it gets thinner. It is surprising how thin and runny it gets. Let us not forget that there are bearings and other parts in there that the fluid lubricates.
Don't you have to change transmission filter?
