Does a CVT transmission require transmission fluid?
1 Answers
CVT transmissions require transmission fluid, and it needs to be replaced periodically. Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the shifting system clean, ensuring the transmission operates normally and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. If the transmission fluid deteriorates, turns black, becomes viscous, or develops an unusual odor, it should be replaced immediately. It is important to note that when changing the fluid, only the automatic transmission fluid specified by the manufacturer should be used. This is because different automatic transmissions have varying internal structures, friction components, and sealing components. Mixing two different fluids inside the transmission can degrade the performance of the transmission fluid, leading to issues such as poor lubrication or abnormal operation of the transmission.
