2022年4月15日 · When the vehicle is frequently operated under severe driving conditions**, CVT fluid replacement (if applicable) should be performed every 24,855 miles (40,000 km). When the vehicle is used in high humidity areas or in mountainous areas, change the brake fluid every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 15 months, whichever occurs first.

2021年12月17日 · Subaru’s CVT holds roughly 10-15 quarts of fluid depending on the model, but only about 5 quarts will drain from the transmission pan. Flushing generally implies that new fluid is worked around the entire system, drained, and then filled again with new fluid.

I've got a 2015 Subaru with the new CVT transmissions with the apparent "lifetime" transmission fluid that never needs replaced. The dealership does offer a transmission fluid change but it's expensive, around $300, and the dealership doesn't recommend it since it's supposed to …

2023年1月10日 · From the Subaru forester maintenance schedule: CVT transmission oil Replace only under very severe driving or when towing. #4 Use Subaru CVT oil only. There's no dipstick to check the CVT fluid. It indicates "inspection" in the schedule only.

2023年7月9日 · Subaru of America is the only entity that calls the cvt fluid "lifetime" so that they can advertise a lower cost of maintenance. Subaru of Japan recommends cvt fluid changes every 36k miles. At 75k you're probably good, but I'd take it in again at 100k. A $250 fluid change is a lot cheaper than a $4000 transmission.

2024年6月14日 · Hi, I’m wondering wich cvt fluid should I use to flush my 2016 forester transmission, the OEM subaru fluid is kind of expensive so I’m debating if getting the Idemitsu cvtf or Liqui moly cvtf? I already checked and both are compatible with the subaru transmission, any thoughts or experience?

The only subaru branch AFAIK that does list a required CVT fluid interval is Canada, where if I'm being honest the way it's written in their maintenance guide makes it seem like they just never changed it from ATF-era cars, where Canada also listed replacement as necessary every 100k km. (It only refers to "transmission oil" and does not ...

Idemitsu is the manufacturer for the Subaru CVT II fluid that runs in your generation of Outback. It was much more cost effective and the same as factory fluid. They haven’t made a CVT III fluid yet, but I think that’s because there’s some sort of agreement that they can’t make their own version of it until x amount of time has passed.

2022年10月11日 · Idemitsu makes Subaru's CVT fluid at about 70% of the price, if you have a TR580 transmission (I think any 2013-2019 2.0L CVT Crosstrek non-hybrid (13-16 hybrid) has one) you can use Idemitsu CVT Transmission Fluid Type SB2 CVTF. It's about $65 for 5 quarts vs $115 for 6 quarts and fully compatible with the TR580 transmission (it's the same as ...

2022年3月2日 · What’s the consensus on CVT fluid changes? I know Subaru (US) likes to say it’s lifetime fluid and to absolutely not open the transmission but I’ve seen accounts saying that’s only a US thing and it should be drained and filled changed every 30k or so… Does anyone have any opinions or accounts? Any Subaru techs have any experience or ...
