Adjusting eCVT fluid levels
Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The type of
fluid used is indicated in the
Maintenance product specifications and
capacities
section in this chapter.
Use of a non-approved fluid may cause internal transaxle
component damage.
If the fluid level is low, add fluid through the check port until the level is
correct and fluid begins to run out of the transmission. If an overfill
occurs, excess fluid should be removed by allowing the fluid to run out
of the check port.
A serious overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause
damage.
Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or
cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.
