How Long Does the Lifespan of Geely CVT Transmission Last?
1 Answers
The lifespan of Geely CVT transmission largely depends on the service life of the steel belt. The commonly used pressure steel belt is designed to last for 30 years or more. For a well-maintained CVT transmission, it can generally be used for 200,000 to 300,000 kilometers or about 15 to 20 years. Methods to extend the lifespan of the transmission are as follows: 1. Replace the transmission fluid according to the specified time or mileage. Although many manufacturers claim that the transmission requires no maintenance for life, the replacement cycle of transmission fluid is generally between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers (varies by model). After the first maintenance, it is recommended to replace it every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers to prevent the transmission fluid from deteriorating. 2. Do not keep the gear in D for a long time when not driving. Keeping the gear in D means the transmission is working, with internal parts rubbing against each other and stirring the fluid, which raises the temperature of the transmission. Over time, this can cause the transmission fluid to deteriorate prematurely, reducing its lubrication and cooling effects, thereby increasing wear on the transmission. 3. Pay attention to daily driving habits. The gear and speed should match; neither low gear at high speed nor high gear at low speed is advisable. Also, avoid coasting in neutral, as a vehicle without power not only interrupts the oil supply to the transmission but is also in a passive state, which is very dangerous. Do not shift into P gear before the car has completely stopped, as this can easily damage internal parts.
