As an Uber driver putting 150 to 200 miles a day on my 2014, Im at 64k miles right now, I check the cvt fluid every week and I do the CVT fluid change out every 30k miles at a Mitsu dealership with OEM fluid. You could also change the 2 filters on the CVT too every 60k miles, but some say on here its not necessary if your maintaing clean fluid to begin with. I have yet to do this myself and my fluid looks pale green. Remember if the fluid is a pale green or orange, your good. If its brown, go on and change it out. If its black your on borrowed time, your cvt could crap out in a week or 3 years, only the Gods know! But changing out the cvt fluid with the previous fluid being black could do more harm than good. Sometimes the gunk is whats holding it up all together.
