Understanding your vehicle's CVT transmission fluid and the importance of its maintenance

Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) fluid enables your transmission's ratio changes through hydraulic pressure and protects internal components against wear while still allowing sufficient friction between belt and pulleys to transfer your engine's torque to the wheels. Over time, heat and contaminants can cause CVT fluid to lose the necessary properties. It is recommended to inspect the transmission for any leaks, check the fluid regularly and change the fluid at the specified intervals.
