Why CVT Transmission Service is So Important

Accelerate from a stop. Notice the even RPMs as your car speeds up? That’s because of its CVT transmission. Unlike a traditional transmission with a hard and fast set of gears, CVT transmission is a continuously variable ratio with just two gears driven by a chain between the two. It’s proven to offer a more comfortable drive and is incredibly durable and long-lasting, ensuring a smooth and reliable performance. But it must be properly maintained to keep your CVT transmission operation trouble-free. The fluid inside the CVT transmission case cools and lubricates internal components but is susceptible to moisture. Like all oils and fluids, it degrades over time, too. To prevent internal transmission problems and breakdowns that are costly and frustrating, CVT transmission maintenance is required periodically.

CVT Transmission FAQ 

How often does a CVT transmission need to be serviced?

Every 30,000 to 60,000 miles

What is the lifespan of a CVT transmission?

About 100,000 miles

What happens if you don’t change CVT fluid?

Old, degraded oil can’t provide adequate lubrication, leading to increased friction and overheating. When the temperature gets too hot (transmission fluid itself overheats when temperatures reach higher than 200 degrees Fahrenheit), components begin to warp, break, and suffer severe damage.

What usually goes bad on a CVT transmission?

Some of the common problems that owners run into include overheating, slipping, and sudden loss of acceleration. Shuddering is also a common problem. Since CVTs depend on the belts to operate, if these suffer from excessive stretching or too much wear, the transmission can completely fail.

How do I know if my CVT transmission needs fluid?

Being unable to shift is a direct result of low transmission fluid. Slipping Gears – On the flip side, slipping out of gear is another side effect of having low transmission fluid. For example, you may maintain your current speed, then suddenly feel your vehicle shift or shift to a higher gear.
