CVT Owners, Assemble!

[Dirk Diggler]

109 000km (bought it on 58000km), change 1L CVT fluid every 5000km (then change engine oil), every 40 000km change 4.5L CVT Fluid and paper filter, cleaning magnits. I use Kixx CVTF fluid (4.3$ for 1L).

No problems for now.
2013 Mirage from Japan 3A90.

Here you can see on last foto? how looks old fluid and new fluid then I change it on 100 000km

Wow, your preventative maintenance schedule is on point! You'll probably get 400k km out of your CVT7.

Only if it does not decay or fall apart earlier from our roads

That's for sure! However, Mirages were very strong in our conditions. Cheap to use and not whimsical.
We have known cases when a car drove 90,000 km in a taxi without changing the engine oil. Or when in 1 year the Mirage drove 134,000 km without breakdowns (well, we don’t consider replacing one bearing). And these cars are still running.

Really? Your not talking about the old 90s-2000s Mirages but our Mirages? I'm shocked more people don't own big trucks and SUVs in Russia on account of your winter weather?

Yes, I'm serious. This is the 6th generation Mirages.
2012-2013 most often. Brought from Japan.
There are Mirages that run in Yakutsk, and there in the winter -40 to -50С is normal. There are Mirages that run around Siberia, -35 and there are no problems.

Big cars eat a lot of fuel and are expensive. Expensive to maintain. Not rich (or practical) people take something less gluttonous, more agile and practical in operation. Well, fuel is getting more expensive every day.

Which is crazy considering Russia is mega-rich in natural resources. Doesn't Russia supply half the world's natural gas? Just wait until the Artic shipping lanes open up even more, there's alot of oil up there that Russia, Canada, and America can make a claim to.

It is rich in natural resources, but not for its population, but for its government and their friends. Ordinary people receive expensive fuel and a bunch of taxes in addition.
