    Some info from the website for the people wondering if this fluid is applicable with the subaru high torque cvt:
    AMSOIL Synthetic CVT Fluid is recommended for belt- and chain-type continuously variable transmissions requiring the following:
    Subaru e-CVTF, i-CVTF, Lineartronic® CVTF, K0425Y0710, CV-30, “Certified CVTF-II (SOA427V1660), High Torque CVTF.

    Love the commentary man. I have a 2021 Ascent Limited. Just put 265/50R 20 on new 8.5" wide wheels with 40 offset. Now I want to upgrade the fluids for the rest of the drivetrain; CVT, differentials, etc. Put Penzoil Ultra Platinum 0-W40 in the engine for the warmer months. (People don't realize 0-W20 has an upper limit of 75° ambient. Part of the reason why Subaru owners report oil consumption issues.)

    • @BuiltForSpeed
      @BuiltForSpeed  Год назад +3

      I usually dont recommend upgrading the hot temp weight unless your car is consuming oil because oil passages is designed for the weight recommended. You can probably run 5w20 instead of 0w20. I just say use the weight recommended just use high quality oil dont cheap out. Unless you have oil consumption issues then you can put thicker oil.

    • @sgcole111
      @sgcole111 Год назад +4

      Where did you learn that 0W20 has an upper limit of 75 degrees Farenheit? Have you considered the effect of impacting the variable valve timing with heavier oil? This is precise mechanism controlled by oil hydraulic pressure acting on cam phasers. I'm sure oil weight has a role to play in hydraulic pressure.

    Changed the CVT fluid on my 2020 Subaru Forester and I ended using 6 quarts of CVT fluid, which was juuuuust enough. To air on the side of caution I would suggest 7 quarts, but if you are confident you are not going to spill too much fluid during the change then 6 quarts will do. This is without changing the filter and dropping the pan. Just a drain and a refill.

      @@chrisryan8863 I only did one drain and filled it back up with 6 quarts. My foresters had 90,000 km on it when I did the change and the fluid still looked good from what I saw. Was still that green colour and not too dark. I live in Alberta Canada and haven’t done much off-roading just lots of highway and city miles. Don’t really notice a difference in driving when I changed the CVT fluid, so I will push my next change to when I pass 200,000 km on the forester. Hope that helps.

    Your car (and my '24 OB Wilderness) spec Subaru High Torque CVTF LV as I'm sure you know. My research uncovered only minor differences between Subaru High Torque CVTF and the -LV version. Interesting, prior to 2019, Subaru High Torque CVTF was factory fill for the TR690 CVT. Amsoil replaces this. Was wondering if you noticed any issues mixing -LV and Amsoil in your TR690 after several months. Please post follow up or reply here. Thank you for making this excellent vid.

      I believe if you see those extra oil comes out from drain plug when you start vehicle as cold, that means the transmission was probably over-filled last time, but it's ok. Now, you just need to refill it when you see the trickling at 95F. BTW, how does Amsoil feel in your vehicle after changing?

    AMSOIL makes GREAT stuff, but here is where my problem is with this CVT fluid. Subaru has 4 different CVT fluids, all of which are proprietary to certain models/cvt, and they are not interchangeable with other models says Subaru. So I’m not exactly sure how AMSOIL has made a CVT fluid to cover all these different models/transmissions under one oil when Subaru hasn’t released their specs on the fluid. This is just my take on the matter, and I know there are people that’s reported back with good reports.

      Exactly, but 4 cvt fluids in total between all the models and transmissions of Subaru. Regardless if you are putting the AMSOIL in a high torque or not, how is the oil good for a high torque cvt and a regular tr-580/690 when Subaru’s own high torque oil isn’t compatible with those transmissions?

    • @BuiltForSpeed
      @BuiltForSpeed  8 месяцев назад

      @Hillbillyshakespeare my guess is that the high torque additive makes the fluid better and works with regular cvt just fine as well. Eventhough its not needed in regular cvt but im sure it makes the regular cvt also more reliable. High torque additive just makes the transmission not slip as much which will not hurt regular cvt

    I love Amsoil and use it in all my cars except ones that are under warranty and the manufacturer "requires" use of their ATF fluid. If the tranmission had an issue they will void the warranty if you don't use their fluid. "Mr. Subaru" on RUclips is a Subaru tech and he called Subaru of America and was told directly two things that I think are ridiculous: 1. The CVT transmission is a supposed "lifetime" service unit, meaning no fluid change is "required" and any draining or opening up the system at all voids warranty (I think this is crazy but that is apparently something to consider if the car is still warrantied), 2. If the transmission had to be serviced for a problem the tech has to use their fluid. Anyway, I am just sharing this so you and the channel followers are aware of this. I think the idea of "lifetime" fluid is nuts, but if my car was still warrantied I would be careful to drain it.

    • @OffRoadRoos
      @OffRoadRoos 6 месяцев назад +2

      Mr Subaru also mentioned Subarus contradicting warranty information. It also states that if used in towing, off-road or other demanding circumstances, it should be changed at something like 28,744 miles😅.
      Subaru has also updated to include more frequent CVT service. Mr Subaru added, without implying their suspicious motive, the reason they did this was they wanted untampered returns to their rebuilding and diagnostic facility. This allows them to have an unspoiled data baseline for diagnosing the cause of failure.
      Subarus CVT life expectancy is 100,000 miles.
      Legally according to the magnuson act, they can not prohibit aftermarket replacement parts. If there is a warranty issue and Subaru claims the aftermarket part caused the failure, they must prove it in court.

They were talking to some people on the Subaru blog and they told him not to use anything but what the dealships use.

      @Matthew-ky2kk some people need to overpay for the subaru fluid that much worse in quality in comparison to amsoil. It makes them feel better that it has subaru on the label.

    Normal shavings for 30k new car. You should certainly flush the system to start with completely fresh fluid UNLESS you have an old car that is at 180k and never serviced. This is since the grit in the fluid is probably the only thing keeping the transmission running.

      I assume the dirt issue may be more applied to basic older style designed auto gear trans with the red fluid ..I have not heard any news about CVTs suddenly dying after a change but if the pan has never been dropped and magnets have never been cleaned with too much dirt in the pan after many miles , it could possibly do that ..

      Lol. Amsoil fixes alot of issues that you may have using oem fluid. Oem fluid is average at best theres nothing great about oem fluid. I worked for dealerships for over 5years none of the technicians used oem fluid we all used high quality aftermarket fluid like amsoil.

      @@BuiltForSpeed it caused transmission shudder in a friend’s Infiniti. They’re known to be bad transmissions and only work well with OEM. Amsoil Signature ATF on the other hand is doing good in my Lexus and I trust that fluid. CVT fluid from Amsoil isn’t good from my experience but maybe it just needed more drains. Only thing I know is it was fine before then started shuddering after draining. Dealer said to use OEM fluid for a flush and it worked fine after that.

      @moises0369 ah i see where you are coming from. Infinity/nissan cvt transmissions are the worst in the business i have dealt with them. If theres is an issue with one of them changing the fluid won't really help its abit too late for that. And even when you put oem fluid it wont help. Usually when theres a small issue when you change fluid is washes out all the pores/dirt and makes it worse. You have to change transmission fluid regularly not when it's acting up already
      And theres alot that happens when you change the transmission fluid like making sure you set the correct level at the right temperature...

      Are you cautious to use Amsoil prior to warranty running out? I am, but I would like to change it now. I just don't know how it may impact the warranty if something happens ot the trans.

      @BuiltForSpeed  9 месяцев назад +2

      No, it does not. I worked at the dealerships as long as you use compatible fluid. And also warranty is 5years or 60k miles. And usually you don't have any issues during that time. But if you don't service it, as soon as your warranty is up, you will have issues.
