Nice. Thanks for posting these pictures.
And if I remember correctly this was using a lubricant that was not Mitsubishi branded?

And while we're at it, I found an interesting CVT troubleshooting document.

I didn't know CVTs shaved so much metal! I would guess that the filters can become pretty important - that is, if they are to catch what all the various magnets & solenoids don't get.Originally Posted by Sonnax.com | CVT Success: In-Vehicle Isolation of Common Problems | Bob Warnke | March 28, 2017

Right - I agree, and I didn't think it would cause this. More to point out that your oil seems to hold up okay.

Out of curiosity Fummins, how many km does your most run Mirage have? I'm curious how far we can be expected to run this car with regular maintenance. Considering you have many, I assume this CVT failure is an outlier.
Fummins: just want to say thanks again for the valuable info you provide -- not only in this thread. We're lucky to have you on the forum.
