Does anyone know if the routine 30k CVT service now includes these items or only when one complains of the issues described?

Routine 30k cvt service shouldn't require any relearning unless you replace anything that's listed in the tsb like a valve body. Just replace the fluid and filter/s and cross your fingers.

Besides many of the cvt's(used) I've installed are usually plug and play. I've only had drivability issues after tearing into valve body's.

I still haven't dropped the pan on the black car. Fluid still looks fine but it's starting to surge more and more, almost like it's low on fluid but it's not. I recall our 14' spark acted the same way(bouncing tach/surging/hunting) when warm on the highway and it got a new warranty cvt x2 or 3 with just that one symptom.

I was more referring to the part where the filter changes have been added. FWIW, I called my localdealer and they have modified their CVT maintenance on Mirages to include changing the external and pan filters. Cost is $299 where the drain and fill was around $150.

actually you need to reset the oil degredation and learning values if you change the cvt fluids, but since its equipped with INVECS the ECU will relearn it anyway.

I don't know where you get your info from but some of it of it seems a little off.
By chance do you work for a Mitsubishi dealer or??
