Subaru CVT Fluid Change Interval?

[Egan101]

I stand corrected from my previous post that cvt fluid will be replaced every 100k km. Subaru cebu advised me to replace my cvt fluid at 40K Km but i replaced it at 45k km. I read in subaru forums that they change their cvt fluid every 65k miles to 70k miles.

my ride is an XV and it cost me 9k. I hope cebu has some shops that sells genuine subaru parts and fluids. i ended having my vehicle serviced at casa.

Change CVT fluid for Subaru Forester SJ5 is every 70T kms ... that's according to one dealer ... another dealer will give a different answer ... CVT fluid change interval should be in the manuals ...

Philippine traffic is horrible for the CVT. I'd follow the shorter interval, to be safe.

I've seen various NEW automatics (CVTs, dual clutch, even torque converter type!) overheat in our weather. Granted, that's under extreme use (track, three hour EDSA traffic), but that just tells you how bad local conditions are compared to US conditions.

In US forums, they recommend shortening intervals to 40k miles to extend the life of the CVTs for some of those JATCO boxes.

It's an extra expense, but so's a new transmission.

60 to 80km per hour. i travel at 4am and there is no traffic. i only encounter traffic when i return home from work. my working station is 110km south of cebu city.usually i get 12 to 14 km per liter. it could be more than 80% highway driving. i use a small car with manual trans when im in the city.

We have too much idling bro. They always cut half the interval. As per manual...

"CVT oil should be replaced under severe driving at 24,855 miles "

That's 40,000 kilometers. Does not sound excessive to me. However, how can one prolong the replacement cycle if I may ask?

Motor Image advised that CVTF needs to be replaced at 40k KM actual mileage. I highly suggest not prolonging any further the CVTF change. Your are talking about the tranny here.

You can't and you shouldn't ...
