Overfilled CVT
I went to the dealer for a CVT flush & fill, and it looks like they overfilled it. The photo I attached shows the CVT dipstick taken out of the cold engine, and the oil line looks like it's at the top arrow. (Interestingly, I performed the test found on page 23A-121 & 122 of the 2015 Mirage Service Manual, and the oil line on the dipstick is also around the same location near the top arrow, when the engine/cvt is hot)
I was thinking of following this guy's tip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qag71Uu9RRw to pull out the excess oil (slowly) through the dipstick/oil filler tube.
I'm thinking of buying this tubing: https://www.amazon.com/USA-Sealing-F.../dp/B0853CHTRF , cutting it down to about 13 inches, and attach it to the sprayer head from this spray bottle: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays...ttle/318116551 with some duct tape.
What do you guys think? How much CVT oil do I need to remove? I'm assuming that I'll have to remove the oil while the engine & cvt is cool, Thanks in advance.
