ATF fluid used in CVT Transmission

[Horsepower]

Maybe if I own a CVT equipped vehicle, I'll probably have the fluid replace annually regardless of what the manufacturer recommendation.

From what I've gathered, every 20K is best. Someone clocked more than 100K with no problem. NS3 is expensive though and the CVTF spout (or tube) is hard to reach. What happens is that the filter gets clogged with sediments and whatnot then it starves the transmission because the fluid can't pass through to lubricate and cool the components.

Also, you need to level the CVTF while it's in operating temp. So with the engine running, you need to lift the car and remove the plug bolt (or something like that) to make sure it's not overfilled or underfilled.

Complicated so I just got rid of it. The 1.8 would've been great in manual though.

I told myself I will keep the FXT unless I find myself buying a faster, quicker, and more capable crossover. The ASX will sure to go.

Santa Fe or Palisade? That 2.2 is a beast.

Oh really? That 2.2L CRDI engine is only rated at 200hp. The FXT is a much quicker beast compared to the Santa Fe.

Maybe as quick and fast as EQ’s Audi Q5 before or something with more than 300hp. Hehehe

Benta mo sakin FXT mo pag dispose mo na.

The FXT is still the best all-rounder car for any Philippine road outside of a racetrack.

If I had an 1 I'd wanna keep long term? I definitely will grab this spare CVT assembly...

And keep looking for other good hobo salvage spares of wear items....Fun boredom therapy, bai.

The tuning might be different as that is for the USDM Fozzie with the 2.5L NA engine. I guess the one used on the Outback 3.6L would be more compatible due to the torque output.

Jut, kayang-kaya mo na bumili ng mas capable crossover in a few years time. If you want to buy one now, hanap tayo used sa SFX community or buy ka new old stock with 350k discount.

If money will not be an issue later on, why not, Di ba?

You can always extract & cross check part numbers, bai. Haven't dug into the Turbo & Outback CVT PNs...but, that's not difficult.
