What’s the best way to change CVT fluid?
I’d suggest: 1. Prior to the fluid change, and while the car is cold and on level ground, check and note the CVT fluid level on the diptstick, on the cold side. 2. When doing change, put in the specified amount: 2.8 liter. 3. Do a quick level check then, but don’t add any more. Take it for a short spin, then let it sit a few hours.
