Why does the CVT fluid Squeak in my Subaru Outback?
Click to expand… Another owner put redline CVT fluid in his 2011 and then started hearing squeaks from the transmission, when it never squeaked before. Could be coincidence. Worst case scenario those squeaks are minor belt slippage but it could be completely unrelated to the transmission, though it happens when it does the fake shifts.
Can you drain and fill a Subaru transmission?
The factory service manual procedure is only a drain and fill – no replacing any of that other stuff as a preventative measure. The actual filter is inside the transmission – the transmission would need to be removed and split apart to replace that thing. There is an oil screen for the pump pickup, separate from the actual filter.
