Welcome back to the channel
In this weeks video I show you how to replace the CVT fluid on a 2016 Subaru Impreza with a 2 L engine bolt it to a CVT transmission. Of course this is a job that you can do in the driveway provided you watch the full length video and have the appropriate tools needed to complete the job. Hopefully you find the video entertaining as well as informative if you do please hit that subscribe button to support my work.
As always thank you for watching we will see you in the next one...

Thank you! You saved my ass. Thought I was changing oil on my girlfriend’s car… ended up draining the transmission. Yikes. Ended up having to buy the dealer fluid + a code reader that can read transmission temp… yikes. $900 later, it’s fixed. Very expensive mistake. But I am just so thankful to you and to God I was able to fix it for her.

Thank you for be so clear and precise.

best I've seen so far for this procedure

@WxssOilRigs 11 месяцев назад

I wanted to do and normal oil change and i end up doing a transmission lol this helped me a lot ❤

@JimmysAutoClinic 10 месяцев назад

I'm glad it helped you. Definitely don't make that mistake again and it's an expensive one to make lol. Good luck my friend

"Ha what an idiot" - me also watching this video because I drained the wrong reservoir on my first oil change

@thatguymark8974 2 месяца назад

Just did the same thing, did you do yours successfully?

@albertstasko6074 10 месяцев назад

You missed the very first thing is crack loose the fill plug before draining. If you drain it and can’t fill it ..not good.

@JimmysAutoClinic 10 месяцев назад

I agree with what you're saying however it's not really a common problem on Subarus especially if they're less than 10 years old. So I wasn't really concerned as it was low mileage as well. But good advice.

@thinkitaintillegalyet 7 месяцев назад

Yeah. I injured my left hand and couldn't get the fill plug off for a month and half until my hand healed... now I'm watching this video to make sure I cycle the new fluid through correctly

@JimmysAutoClinic 6 месяцев назад

That's unfortunate. I'm glad you found the video helpful.

@gregoryamaral4838 4 месяца назад

It also makes it drain faster.

@SenorRoboto 2 месяца назад

the whole video is informative but @ 8:50 the real stuff goes down 😲

Dont be so obsessed with scanners, temperatures and official Subaru CVT. I did my partial fluid change 3 years ago. Without scanner, without even lifter, using single 5L AISIN CVTF canister. It drives happily since.

@JimmysAutoClinic 7 месяцев назад

It can be done without a scanner however when showing people what to do it is my duty to show them to the best of my ability and knowledge the right way. Thank you for commenting glad that your car is working fine.

Great detail as always 🥹

@billlink1726 Год назад

my 2010 Maxima with the CVT has an external filter. Nissan told me not to change the filter. I’m at 150K and changed the fluid at about every 50K. In fact, Nissan did the first two, and they called it a flush, when it was actually a drain and fill as you did. I did the last drain and fill - I changed the filter.

@JimmysAutoClinic Год назад

Yeah it's definitely a good idea to change the filter if it's accessible. I don't know why they would tell you not to change the filter that doesn't make sense to me. As long as it's something that is serviceable it's definitely better to do it especially knowing that the cvts from Nissan aren't the most robust or reliable. Good on you for not listening to them.

@dragonkilla941 2 месяца назад

Just goofed up and drained the CVT fluid instead of the oil. Just wondering are able to do this without a jack and stands? I know itd make it way easier but i dont have 4 stands to lift it up! Thanks for your time!

@gregoryamaral4838 4 месяца назад

Did I miss the point about the filter?

@beltrunner 10 месяцев назад

I would like to see the procedure you would have used had you not been able to remove the fill plug after having already removed the drain plug...

@JimmysAutoClinic 10 месяцев назад

Honestly my friend I've never had that issue. If the cars get past 10 years then I usually crack the fill plug first to make sure that it will come out however it's not a common issue with the subarus.

@justin1130 18 дней назад

I use rhinoramp to change my oil, will using a rhinoramp to change this be ok since the car is tilted up in the front ( and mess with the levels?)

@knot4man Месяц назад

Thank you, Jimmy!

@billlink1726 Год назад

Remove the fill plug before draining, as you would the rear differential?

@JimmysAutoClinic Год назад

You can remove it. I find it doesn't make a huge difference but it definitely doesn't hurt either.

@chadkirby5438 7 месяцев назад

Also…is there a filter under the trans pan that might need to be changed? Or is that optional?? I’m wanting to change my own fluid, that’s why I’m asking…thank you!

@JimmysAutoClinic 6 месяцев назад

As far as I know there is no filter on the cvts externally or internally under the pan. But there are different models and I suggest contacting the dealer with your VIN number to find out whether your transmission has a serviceable filter.

@jesusbahena8320 10 месяцев назад

Will be doing this soon to my 2012 Subaru legacy, also want to drop the pan, clean the magnet but not sure if I should replace the oil strainer/filter, reached out to Subaru and they told me that it’s really rare for them to drop the pan and replace the strainer. What do you recommend ? Mileage on my car is 80k and this will be the first time this car is getting the service done. Thank you !!

@JimmysAutoClinic 10 месяцев назад

If you have a CVT my friend there is no point in dropping the pan it is going to drive up to work quite a bit more and really not serve much of a purpose. It would be best to just do a CVT service prematurely you'll probably end up getting more dirty material out of the transmission that way.

@jesusbahena8320 10 месяцев назад

@@JimmysAutoClinicyea it’s a CTV, so you recommend just doing a simple flush and refill like in your video ? Also thanks for getting back to me, love your content please keep it coming 🎉🎉

@chadkirby5438 7 месяцев назад

What scanner do you have that checks and reads trans temp?? Do most OBD scanners display trans temp?

@JimmysAutoClinic 6 месяцев назад

Hey my friend. We use a autel scanner and I also have an X tool scanner. Most scan tools have the physical capability but your software may be limiting you. Depending on what scanner you get you can call the manufacturer to ask them whether the particular product will do the job that you need to. Unfortunately most scan tools don't give you that sort of information unless they're expensive sadly.
