Hi I’ve just acquired a 2.4 cvt outlander and I’m not sure when the cvt fluid was last changed. It’s only had 1 owner since new and been fully serviced so far. Last one at 90k
Now at 105k. I’ve just had the belts and filters done and was thinking of doing the cvt myself.
dealer wants a fortune. I’ve seen many oils that are cvt j1 to j4 compliant. 12 litres for about £60.
any recommended brands from any members? And do i need a new filter?

want to keep it running nice. Last car was a Honda CR-V and I got to 200k in that
thanks. Adam

 

the oil will be either J1 or J4. It will say on trans dipstick which one you need. The number is not better the higher it gets, J3 for instance isfor the V6 auto and diesel auto.
A typical drain will use 3.5 litres, and Here in australia we are advised by MMAL to drain and refill, then run, and drain and refill again, so 7 litres
