I think this guy must sell cvt oil.

My 15' outback has 149000 on it have had the CVT fluid and differential fluids changed twice, have not had a problem, this is my 2nd Subaru won't be my last! Thanks for your video!

Great info! Who could I use here in SATX to be guaranteed a QUALITY FULL SERVICE JOB on my CVT in my 2025 Subaru Ascent? Thanks for these videos!!

Just change the whole car (any car)🙂 after warranty enough of the BS.

One of the most common malfunctions with the CVT are the solenoids. Electrical components have a better chance for longevity when the fluid is changed regularly. As mentioned in the video, older fluid generates more heat internally.

Not one pic or image of the internals of the CVT? Really?

On a brighter note at least we will not see any rusty Subies

Hard use is driving your awd to the ski resort😂 car manufacturers are completely failing. Over priced garbage.

The CVT transmission of our 2021 Crosstrek Sport failed at less than 80,000, even with absolute great maintenance care and moderate driving. It was replaced for free because of our extended warranty - although it would have been anyway because it was under 100,000 miles. Our 2012 Outback's CVT transmission gave up at 210,000 miles. I love Subaru's (Outback, Forrester and Crosstrek Sport) and strongly recommend them, but the transmission seems to be their Achille's heel ;-)

This info DOES NOT coincide with manufacturer's recommendations. Manufacturer does not require any CVT maintenance for the life of your car unless " you are towing a lot". READ THE US OWNER'S MANUAL.

Does the 2021 Crosstrek have a filter under the pan cover. Is it a good idea to remove the pan and clean the magnet?

Why doesn't Mazda have to use CVTs? They only use an eCVT from Toyota in the CX50 hybrid. Subaru doesn't have to build trash. It's a choice.

All they had to do is put in a regular 6 speed,4 speed auto that goes 200,000-300,000mi with no issues with a simple transmission cooler.Cvt,s are design disaster in the making to save a drop of fuel because govt EPA driving a madness,hence CVTs

In my opinion cvt’s just remove the fun. Just makes a car a conveyance.

My 2015 has over 200,000 pretty much flawless did a drain and refill at 107,000. I make a point to speak to every Subaru owner. Nobody I know has CVT problems.

Don't buy Subaru .Cvt is nightmare. Service is very expensive.

Looking to buy a used Ascent. This video helped much. Thanks

My very experienced Subaru mechanic says CVT fluid exchange every 60.000 km is more than sufficient. And that's proven as working for me. I do not know what kind of substance you use instead of regular CVT fluid over there, so that you need to replace it so often. Sunflower oil is not for cars.

I'll never buy a Subaru with a CVT transmission the way they're built right now. It's disrespectful not to include a dipstick for the transmission. It's idiotic to not be able to do a full flush. It sounds like Subaru wants the transmissions to go out.

Isn't looking for leaks part of what the Subaru oil change technician should be doing?

300.00 transmission fluid changes every 30,000 are absurd.

I got my 2017 crosstrek brand new in 2017. I have over 210k. I changed 3 times before 200k I'm now gonna change every 30. Never had a problem. My car has been cross country and in 40 states, I drive 3k a month and change my oil now as frequently.. never had a tranny issue... I did blow a headgasket at 179k

My neighbor had a 2015 Crosstrek he had a total CVT failure at 152000 miles, the wheels locked up on the highway, new replacement cost $11500.00, vehicle book value was only $9000.00

All non manual transmissions use a form of hydraulic fluid. Irrelevant to the manufacturer. Service should be 10k or once a year. No exceptions.

300 bucks for a drain and fill?

My Suba dealer in Norway refuses to change CVT fluid. Car driven 100000km They say nothing needed to do😂

Can I show the dealer this video?

Great advice/video, thanks! I love my Subaru!!

Our 2016 Forester with 120,000 Km, always serviced at the dealer just suffered CVT failure. Subraru Canada replaced the CVT under the extended warranty, so hopefully we’re good for another eight years. The warranty on the replacement CVT is only one year! So, we’ll see.

Just got a new Forester- 2024. First Subaru I've ever owned. Toyota guy. Going to service my CVT @ 10,000 then service it every 20,000. I've heard so many bad things about CVTs in general, but I've also heard folks who maintain them going into the 200,000s without problems. We shall see.

Is there a filter? After the binding agent added, I'd assume that would clog the filter.

Glad I watched this , very well explained and definitely made up my mind NOT to bother buying a Subaru .

The only question on my mind is "Are Subaru technicians certified to get our car in shape after a visit"?

What an idiot 🙄

So you recommend voiding the 10 Year/100K Warranty Subaru Warranty, so do you now provide the warranty?

IT seems clear to me that I wuld never want to own a Subaru CVT. WHy would I want a vehicle that requires a CVT fluid change every 30k miles. Just adds to the cost of ownership. Just buy something else.

I’m still confused. I have a 2023 Outback touring, how do I know if I have cvt issues? Other comments say the dealer isn’t acknowledging changing the fluid. So how do we push the dealership to flush and change ?

our new '24 Crosstrek Wilderness has a tranny cooler built in. Should I change the fluid every 30k miles? Will not pull anything with it and mostly hwy miles.

So CVT dialysis, if possible. Cool.

<SIGH> l just wish that Subaru would give us the option of a 6 speed or 9 speed automatic transmission

Great explanation! Very clear, no idling & chit chats, he walks to walk

Why can’t you siphon out all the fluid?

I bought my Crosstrek 5 weeks ago with 36 miles. At 1000 miles I had my first oil change. I will replace my transmission fluid at 12,000 miles, BECAUSE THATS WHEN THE MOST ENGINE WEAR WILL TAKE PLACE. After that 12K fluid change, again at 30K, and everything should be splendid

CVT's are garbage. Pure F#$@ing garbage.

yapping yapping yap yap and more yap!! just give a straight to the point answer

I would highly recommend synthetic CVT fluid if you drive in a lot of stop-and-go traffic, hot or cold climate and/or pull a trailer or boat. Synthetic fluid is much more stable and resistant to thermal break-down.

Seeking Help with 2009 Subaru Tribeca Transmission Issue After changing the transmission fluid, my 2009 Subaru Tribeca's gears refuse to shift. My mechanics have already run diagnostic software, but unfortunately, the problem persists. Could you please suggest potential next steps or troubleshooting measures to resolve this issue?

Excellent video! Thanks.

Look I'm having a problem. Everyone that I've listened to about draining fluid out of my 2015 outback. They have said that fill needs to out then the drain plug. Problem is they keep telling me that I need 8mm torxhead but my trainy needed a 50mm torxhead. I think the amount of torque required a so-called 8mm torxhead would destroy the 8mm. So do I have morphed CVT trainy. 8mm is the size of a very small alan head.
