Lololol creative! Fummins is this stuff bullshi$ or what? Honest opinion.

if it smells like bull$hit...... It's not gonna fix a piled up bearing. Unfortunately. It might help swell up old seals and get leaky valve working kinda but I don't think anyone has run into problems like that yet. It's not gonna be a fix all cure all but might be worth a shot as a last resort before replacing it. Or do what the reviewer that Mark found and get it working enough to trade it in lol.

I read comments for this stuff on the youtubes, one commenter said not to replace fluid if it's black and barsleak spokesperson agreed with them, then changed their mind. They don't know wtf they're talking about lol.

You taught me if it's black, just leave it alone and cross your fingers, ain't that right? Only change it if it's brown? If it's black, the gunk might be the only thing holding it together?

If your lurking, never post and are currently sitting in a 2014 or 15 with 150k miles, post something. It'd be a delight. Thank you.

dude, when your CVT finally dies you can get an ENTIRE driveline for $500 or so and and $750-1000 to install it.

your Mirage may not be worth $1500 when this happens so how have you planned for that?

you

I'm already thinking of ditching mine and getting a newer one. You can buy mine for parts!

I have no idea honestly. I'm just praying I can hit 175k miles. My Mirage is paid off, so there's that.

As long as you change the fluid and filters, just run it till it goes. No sense in worrying about it until it starts dying.

**Fummins** · 02-26-2020, 02:21 PM

If I come across a deal on one that isn't so....2014 I'd consider it. But I'll probably end up keeping mine til it's rusting, I can't find parts for it or it's totaled.
