same with the Nissan.S. also need 8 liters, 4 liter for flush and 4 liter use.
8 liter cost you RM5++...

but outside less workshop want to do this service, change the CVT gearbox oil.
have to go back SC. hei...

as far as i know if you change the GB fluid more often you need no to flush the GB
which in other way you save a bit other than change it later and need to flush

agree with you.
eat pisang goreng also need fresh oil to goreng, moreover that is GB, every days running one.
can't save the cost if we want the GB have a better long life.

My Toyota Wish (new facelift) used CVT gearbox. Coz the manual every thing in Japanese, am guessing in the manual that the CVT interval change is every 30K km.

inspira Jatco CVT GB is like 27k.....
300-400 to prolong is damn worth it

Nothing is forever. Toyota SC bullshit on my Vios ATF WS is so long life only need to change on 100k km (since bought).

Of course I changed it on the 1st 10k km on request (still bright pink). Then afterward I blindly follow TSC advice. On 80k km+, I felt uneasy and do ATF change (and the usual service) outside of TSC and guess what, that pink ATF WS is black like shit and muddy and darker than my engine oil, ATF become WTF. Gods know what have been damaged in there...

Your CVTF, max duration 40k km. Better to be in 20k~30k km. CVT is more sensitive and need the micro rubblet (they are available only in CVTF) to be there. If those rubblet brokedown (wear & tear), you will have permanent dmg on the CVT GB.

You are rite

Anyone actually manage to change Altis CVT fluid at UMW SC

Penang, Perai SC refuse to change it no mather how I request due to they mess up someone's CVT when they change it before.

Honda or Not honda... CVT is CVT.... it runs very hot and we are in a hot weather country... yeah Toyota is much more superior CVT... try talk to Nissan X-CVT... they don't even take risk!!! same with mitsu CVT... all manufacturer don't take risk on CVT cause it is expensive.... maybe toyota driver more cash rich can donate to UMW... yeah good luck

If a TSC mess up their own when changing CVTF, means they are no better than 'outside' aside for not voiding the warranty.

change CVTF also can mess up the GB

u mean you pay for it they also refuse to do???

Not sure what mistake they did. SC keep told me the GB is sealed.

Mind you I claim my CVT on 80K due to really weird and loud whining noise, engineer from KL came over to diagnose and approved to swap one.

katijar : Yes. That's why I try to find another SC where I can change CVT fluid

the packaging look the same but different fluid.

different WORDS & NUMBERS too.

Toyota so smart... Ha ha
Once the cvt broken then is your fault.

Cause you didn't voice record.

Normally can last up to 30-40k kms is consider long life already.

Just image your imaging ur engine oil keep 20k km and don't brother and see how..

not all SC is bad, some SC is well come you to change.

just know i call the Pria TSC, they told me Altis have two type CVT fluid due to have two batch GB, each batch using difference CVT oil, but the price and grade is the same for both.
any how we need send the car to SC for the to check what CVT fluid we use then can change it. The SC told me they no keep the CVT fluid, scare mix up.

also agree with you, the CVT can loud whining noise but no broken.
from they record, only ten + unit CVT gear box cliam at this moment, all is due to loud whining noise but still can function well.

proton1888 Let me know after you change it, afraid they mess up mine since my Warranty ended

Should be not so worry about this mix up issue, you go/call in to the SC, find the a guy name Mr Ho, he will explain to you.
I can explain to you, we also do not know how to check it.
you need send the car to the SC then they will let you know it.
The GB number or …(forget liao) will tell the SC using which grade fluid.
