Can you share maintenance history of your car?
And how many cvt oil changes

[pwuser148949955752]

3000 km oil change including all filters
Cvt oil change after 15000 km
Fuel filter change after 20,000 km this is my success story and still water dropping engine and pickup is damn fast better than stock

[pwuser152110974418]

Kindly suggest from where CVT oil Change?? Toyota or Market

[pwuser152110974418]

No idea about CVT Oil Change recently buy? Plan to Change the CVT Oil

[anon35615524]

Toyota or after market does not matter. What matters is; technician doing the job has all the proper tools, and knows what he is doing.

Please go through following thread to have some idea, how CVTF is properly changed in Toyota Corolla Altis Grande' 1.8 CVT:

Toyota Altis Grande CVT Fluid Change ( Transmission code K313 )

Correct manufacturer's (OEM) procedure to change CVT fluid in K313 CVT transmission of Altis 1800 CC (Grande etc.) NOTE: I will be gradually updating this post; due to limitation of time on my end. So please keep on checking for further updates.

though its the perfect way
Dr saab method is time consuming and expensive
many people will not agree in buying 2 tins of CVT
new price is 7000 i think

[anon35615524]

Agreed!

But then the other method would be to park the car on a perfectly levelled and horizontal surface, take out the old fluid, and fill in the new one in desired quantity, however, this method is plain simple, but not accurate and perfect (although it may not mean that it'll definitely and necessary create problems for the CVT, as long as fluid is not overfilled or under-filled).

At the end, CVT parameters may be reset via Diagnostics tool, and other parameters may also be checked.

[anon35615524]

Please guide the fellow member @pwuser152110974418 how the CVTF used to get changed in your car?

[autophile]

With levelling, temperature of the cvt is also important, because cvt oil expands on high temp. So change must be done on the specified temperature.

[anon35615524]

Very true And bundle of thanks for pointing out this very important factor.

If I am not mistaken, then the temp. needs be somewhere in-between 35~45 degree Celsius, at the time of changing Toyota Genuine CVTF.

Please correct me, if values are different.

@autophile

[anon35615524]

If you have the owners / users manual of your car with you, please go through it.

In its maintenance schedule, everything would be mentioned in detail, i.e., to take which tasks at which mileage / odometer reading.

Details regarding changing CVTF, Spark Plugs, Coolant, Brakes fluid, etc. would be mentioned in it.

[autophile]

At this mileage you do not need anything. Spark plugs are good till 100,000 kms, Coolant 160,000 Kms (Just monitor the coolant reservoir, if it is at or below low mark, fill it up to full mark and not above it. CVT oil is good till 55,000 kms or two years whichever comes first.

And follow these page and keep browsing your user manual from time to time:

If not than I will go for one more cycle.
