Default Re: HOW-TO: Changing CVT Fluid

The oil in a fluid coupling is contained in the coupling in old autotrans. The CVT has oil that can not be drained. It is the same oil the that lubs the rest of the workings! It means you will never get a complete drain of all the old oil.H

Wow, and I thought the thread I made on changing the oil in an HAH was detailed! Props to Rigger. By the way, whatever happened to him??

Keith, what thread did you start? I would like to read it if it concerns CVT. I would like to know the best method for changing this oil. H

Thanks for the pics, the change went great on an HCH II! One question, though. I managed to get closer to over 3 qts out when I changed, and then was a little low after the fill. I added ~.3 qt and now my "cold" reading is up toward the top of ther "hot" reading, or a little high. Is this a problem and do I need to drain some out?

Here is another option for CVT Fluid.
ENEOS CVTF is manufactured by Nippon Oil - the largest oil company in Japan.

It's the first time that I changed the transmission oil, so I guess the previous oil was the regular transmission oil, now I put cvt oil in it, I guess there's still old one left inside, does it matter if the two oil are mixed?

can we mix transmission oil?
