Max Capacity Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 As far as I know, the 2.5 has one CVT,the 3.6R's had a different CVT. There are only two CVT's for those years. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
