Do yours look like this?
Looks just like the 2015's onward. Change your CVT fluid, replace the cartridge filter. If you were really worried (and you are lol ) then your options are adding a additional cooler in between the radiator and the CVT or replacing your engine thermostat with a cooler temp one (if they are available). This will decrease your CVT temps due to cooler water temps. Decreasing fluid temps in CVT's or automatics can dramatically increase their longevity. You need enough heat for optimal operational temps but excessive heat is a killer for any CVT or automatic.
