Subaru owner also had plenty of cvt issues? What is the recommended from Subaru for cvt filter? Iinm mostly manufacturers not put it in for replacement at a shorter intervals and car owners just follow it. Or the CVT gb will getting issues once hit some high mileage?

Depending on ownership and driving behavior, if met the correct mechanic after 5th year or 100k warranty will recommend to change the CVT Strainer/Filter. Even the Subaru specialist SBR Technic recommend owners to change it early by 4th year 80k. If you change this early usually no issues, some of the owners already way over 200~300k with every 30~40k CVT oil change.

From my understanding official SC did not list this CVT strainer/filter to change during the 5 year or 100k service interval, mostly only by owner request after warranty finish. I did my change at 110k but from outside mechanic, nowadays got OEM Thailand/Taiwan CVT filter/strainer to choose in market.

I was informed that for Mazda cars, the transmission oil pan is sealed with silicone instead of gasket.

The OEM transmission filter will come with gasket but genuine one does not.
Will the outside typical workshop apply new layer of silicone for installing genuine filter?
I asked some but they claim not needed.

I don't prefer OEM filter but it comes with gasket.
Anyone has experience?

Specialist will seal it back with the silicone. The original silicone will be a different colour than the aftermarket ones.

There is no such thing as lifetime oil.

If they say lifetime or 5 years it’s basically lifetime of the car

Similar to ford power shift dry clutch lifetime also but end up gearbox koyak Rabak

I change my dct oil every 60k km regardless what people say

What is the estimated cost of replacing atf and filter outside?
*
I usually only change the ATF but not the filter because it's a lot of work and SC might detect the changes. For ATF changes only it'll usually cost like 200-300.

Mazda. ford, bmw zf, merz old model, Volvo old model, all advertised as a seal for life for ATF but all suffer from GB malfunction once hit high mileage. ZF even against bmw seal for life and ask to change the Atf per interval. Honda DCT dry clutch on hybrid, first dct oil change at 160k km, also got owner suffer from GB issue.
