Hello
When I get my Forester I plan to flush the CVT fluid - I have an OBD tool that can measure the CVT fluid temperature live. I'm aware that Subaru have mixed ideas on fluid changes but I am sure it is worth doing. The vehicle has only done 33,000 miles but it is over 6 years old - it never had a tow bar fitted but I have asked the dealer to fit an OEM tow-hitch with 13 pin electrics..
So it might have only been lightly used. I am going to play on the safe side with the CVT and the DPF - two potential issue areas for the Subaru.
My question is what is the CVT model number for the 2.0D and what is the fluid reference number? I have heard dealers aren't keen on selling fluid but I do want the OEM Subaru fluid. I plan to do several flushes..
Thanks in advance for any useful info.
Regards
Mark
