What about the tranny filter ? will you not change or clean it ?

The Longs says:

Same with my Subaru Outback. It’s a “sealed”CVT. Well I’ve serviced it 3 times and it’s got 270k miles on it.

Thomas Meadows says:

Well the dummy I am. I usually change my own oil. We were out over the holidays. And I went to Valvoline to have them do it and I wasn't thinking and I let them do the transmission. I think it was Mike's life or something transmission fluid so I screwed up. Do I need to take it and have it done at the dealer I guess

Jean Cassel says:

Hello friends, can you use Toyota CVTF FE in place of the CVTF TC?

Brian says:

Could not agree more… stick with original fluid… Fluid $180.00 New transmission $6,500.00 its a no brainer!

Old Tribe says:

Reyes Moran says:

Hi how can I get help on diagnostics on my 1992 Toyota pick up truck? Do you have email?

Eric says:

Peter…are you aware that Rock Auto sells Aisin (OEM manufacturer) brand FE fluid for about $7.00 a quart?

Kevin Glover says:

Please do video on checking tyranny fluid level after fill.

Too-old Forthischet says:

I never liked FWD setups. The transmissions are so tiny.

Eli Hernandez says:

Wow that's outrageously expensive. My friend and I used valvoline cvt fluid in his wife's 2017 toyota corolla about 9 months ago. The valvoline cvt fluid is only $27 a gallon at walmart but we had to drive to 2 different ones to find it in stock. Some have 1qt bottles too. They have castrol transmax atf/cvt which also has the Toyota fe spec on the website but we didn't use that even though it was in every single walmart. But we just knew others tried valvoline cvt and they said it was fine and it was fine for us. We test drove it to get some food and it was perfect. Had almost 60k on it. Fluid was nasty. Now I know why people call cvts junk. They never service them and they explode at 100k.i wonder if the cvt fluid price went up too like every other oil. Almost no automotive oil stayed the same price today. Motor oil is more expensive now from inflation it sucks.

Mark Reynolds says:

Peter I change my transmission fluid every 30000. I had no problems with the transmission. I now have 236,000 miles runs good . I believe oil is cheap compared to new transmission.

Kathleen Isaac says:

Great. Helping folks want to have good clean fluid in these beautiful machines.
It took me twenty years and stern directions from my moto guru to understand, clean fluid is rIght.
