I couldnt find anything in search about this so thought i would ask. Tomorrow morning my cars booked in for capped servicing @45,000
The handbook states that the CVT oil should be changed at 45,000 if driven in start - stop driving and frequent short run operation. My working week consists of driving 40kms round trip daily so whats classed as frequent short run operation??
How much extra do i expect to pay if i decide to go ahead with the CVT oil change??
thanks :)

Hi glen, i got my CVT tranny serviced at 45K, and it runs smooth as now. Well worth it. It cost me around $250-ish.

You can do it after the service, if its all been done, just take it back again. Well worth it, cars smoother, seems to have more 'go' in her.

cheers

Thankyou but the cars ready to be picked up, but true can always rebook it for another time. I do 50/50 city highway driving so I wasn't sure.
