Does an ECVT Transmission Need Transmission Fluid Replacement?
1 Answers
ECVT transmissions do require transmission fluid replacement. Any type of fluid has a shelf life and needs to be changed after a certain mileage or period of use. Due to the unique road conditions cars operate on and the influence of external environments, transmission fluid will deteriorate over time, necessitating regular replacement. The working principle of an ECVT transmission relies on two sets of gears paired with a steel belt clutch to achieve functional adjustments. Japanese car models equipped with ECVT transmissions include: the hybrid versions of the Camry, Corolla, Levin, Prius, as well as all hybrid models from Lexus and Toyota.
