Remove sump, let the old oil drain completely, clean filter, Anton might have a machine to suck the old oil out and put new oil (Mitsubishi CVT J1).

Stay away of CVT transmission
My Outlander started having CVT issues after 130,000km
It cost me $6000 to fix it
CVT is very weak and won't last compare to the normal automatic transmission.

We drove slowly home and the car didn't show the warning again. Day before yesterday, i also drove on the same highway and after almost 100KM drive the car gave the same warning as per attached picture. i slowed down and it disappeared. I drove normally and the light didn't come back. It came on once on the way back. Please help. I had taken to a local mechanic last time and his diagnostic machine didn't through any fault codes

I had a similar issue. Solution: install an transmission cooler. You will need to change the existing heat exchanger with one that has 4 outlets.

Paper filter for cvt fluid

Hi, i guess you would have cleaned the metal filter for the cvt fluid which is inside the oil pan during the fluid change, did you also change the paper filter which filters the fluid which goes into the oil cooler... If this paper filter is old and clogged then circulation into the cvt oil cooler would get restricted and oil would get hotter. Hope it helped.
