Wondering about 50k plus cars, oil consumption?

[Basic]

Sorry to thread jack but how does a cvt use oil? Did it leak?

How often have you changed the fluid?

Just a FYI, there is no filter in this CVT. It's just a drain and refill. Since the belt is metal it might be long term beneficial to drain and change it. Your usage would meet the "severe" category. Every 30k.

while i appriceate the advice, i can barely afford the payment on this car and the maintence i need to do beyond spending 19 dollars on each quart of fluid for the cvt.

For anyone reading this in the future, the cvt does in fact have 2 filters that are user serviceable. one paper cartridge filter thats on the side of the transmission and one metal screen filter in the pan

I really wonder if that metal one would ever need replacing though. Seems a bit redundant considering the paper exists and considering it's replacement interval.
