ATF fluid used in CVT Transmission

[12vdc]

Meron ba CVT umabot na past 500k like regular AT?

Ang point lang ni Trav, CVTs are not fully proven technology. The design of constant metal-to-metal friction is a design flaw on his engineering perspective. For regular AT it's only fluid friction in the torque converter and some clutch packs, there are less metal-to-metal contact that could wear. Even on MT's you will eventually replace the friction material(clutch or even flywheel) because they are wear/friction parts, but it costs less because the technology exist since the invention of a car.
Dapat siguro for consumer's peace of mind gawin wear item ang CVT belt, replace every n kms.

Great idea, sir![emoji106] Dealerships must be equipped & trained.

But then you’re going prolong the life of a CVT, it will be one more reason why you shouldn’t purchase a brand new car. Ayaw ng mga car companies yun. Less profit. 😂

Here's a mirage with 300k before cvt replacement

For a first-time car owner like me, with the car being CVT as well, I might go full-time casa maintained na lang siguro just to make the most of my family's car.
