lazydavy Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Has anyone tried non-Oem Cvt fluid? What did you try and what were your results? Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammcinnis Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I would not substitute. CVT fluid is highly engineered for specific properties. (One example: The film strength of Subaru CVT fluid exceeds 150,000 psi, which is higher than the yield strength of many steel alloys.) Subaru even specifies significantly different fluids for specific CVT models and variants. No magic aftermarket CVT fluid is going to be able to match that. Do be aware that using an aftermarket CVT fluid is virtually guaranteed to void the 10 year/100,000 mile extended warranty on the CVTs in most Gen 6 Legacys. Your car, your choice.

lazydavy Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Are there sources for Subaru Cvt fluid in 5 gallon buckets at a lower price per Qt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
