How to Maintain a CVT Transmission

Transmission fluid is a vital component for all transmission. Without the correct type and adequate amount of fluid, a transmission will have failure. Although transmission fluid is necessary for all types of transmissions, it is important maintenance for a CVT transmission.


Regular CVT Maintenance

CVT Transmission maintenance is highly recommended. If you have a CVT, we recommend that you get it checked regularly and keep up on transmission fluid services. Transmission fluid change depends on the type and model of your car. Most car manufacturers will vary anywhere from 25,000 miles to 50,000 miles.

Don’t know your recommended mile? Bring your car into Eagle Transmission for a regular maintenance service. We can determine the recommended number of miles for your transmission fluid change. It is good to get it checked at around 50,000 miles or less if your car manual doesn’t have a specific time.

Check CVT Transmission Fluid

You can easily check your transmission fluid at home. Start by lifting your hood, then pull out the dipstick that is similar to the engine oil. It is sometimes labeled with the word “Transmission.”


Symptoms of Poor Maintenance Practices for CVT Transmissions:

Avoiding regular CVT transmission services

The wrong type of transmission fluid

Dirty transmission fluid

Low transmission fluid

Damaged components (for example pulleys, belts, bearings)

Worn valves

Overheating transmission


If your CVT transmission has any of these problems, they should be addressed sooner rather than later. Waiting to resolve a CVT transmission can result in more severe issues or even transmission failure.


If your CVT transmission has a burning smell, leaking fluid, or slipping gears, get a transmission appointment scheduled today. For these are common signs of a transmission problem. At Eagle Transmission Repair , we have professional and experience transmission techs to inspect, diagnose, and resolve transmission problems.
