Greetings. Just did my own CVT service. I have a 2017 Mirage G4 sedan, with CVT.
I live in Las Vegas where temps can easily top 113-14° for 2-3 months during summer. Just recently the CVT started acting strange. Slow reaction times, jerking at low speeds.
Dealer said I should do a CVT service at 30,000 miles. Dealer also wanted $329 for the service. Well, I decided to do it myself. I bought the external filter, O-ring at the dealer. Bought four qts. Amsoil CVT fluid.
Imagine my surprise when the original fluid came out brown....
I dropped the pan, cleaned the two magnets, and cleaned the metel screen.
Popped in a new filter and O-ring. Refilled with Amsoil CVT. The CVT feels like new again. I actually feels a lot smoother, better than it ever was new. I documented the entire service with pics and video for warranty purposes. I'm not an Amsoil Distributor so don't flame and troll me LOL. I just wanted to pass along my personal experience with the CVT service and the marked improvement in feel and drivability.
