CVT Fluid Change

CAUTION:

Do not use any fluid other than specified CVT fluid. Use of any fluid other than specified CVT fluid may cause juddering or some other faulty condition to occur.
Do not overfill. Overfilling can cause foaming and loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and transaxle failure can result.
After changing CVT fluid, check drain plug for CVT fluid leakage.

Lift up vehicle.
When engine is cool, remove CVT fluid drain plug (1) from CVT oil pan (2) and drain CVT fluid.
Install CVT fluid drain plug (1) with new gasket and then tighten it to specified torque.
