That thing you call the transmission filter is actually not a filter but an oil pick up line with strainer just like the one you see when you drop the engine oil pan. That does not need to be changed unless the strainer or screen mesh is totally blocked and clogged beyond redemption.
You should put the magnet as much as possible just to avoid placing it under oil pickup.
Interesting how the Subaru parts personnel here in Riverside, CA told me that all they do is flush out the fluid when they perform the CVT service. A mechanic friend did the flush for my 2015 with only 120K on it but, just like you, said pan should be dropped, filter replaced, magnet cleaned to do it correctly. Advised for me to get the filter and come back in 15K to do it right. Dealer service didn’t know what I was talking about when I wanted to purchase the filter you replaced.
Subaru official instructions to dealers is to never drop pan for as I know. So they are just following company policy. Doesn't really make sense in grand scheme of things though.
@@nappyjim True. He was just “doing his job”. Anyway, appreciate your thoroughness and steering Outback owners in the right direction. They are pretty well-built vehicles, in my opinion.
@@paulauksztulewicz4803 I'm a little surprised you're dealership even agreed to potentially flush it. I've heard of many others saying Subaru of America says the oil in the CVT is lifetime. Unless you tow then they are okay to change it. But then I think Subaru of Japan has 50k intervals. No matter if you tow or not. Explain that!
@@nappyjim No kidding. The particular dealership has recommended 60k intervals for CVT service. I take it it’s a money maker for them.
Nothing is lifetime.
You're telling me this cvt went to 345k on the factory fluid?
First changed fluid around 215k. This is the second change at 345k where I also did filer and magnets. I have the original 215k video on my channel too.
Do you think it is possible to connect another CVTF cooler outlet hose (B) and use the other end immersed in a 'tank' with 6 or 7 gallons, that when you start the engine and change gears the oil pump itself sucks the ATF new one on that side and expel the old ATF through the CVTF cooler outlet hose (A) you indicated. Does it work? Regards!
Can't say for sure but I wouldn't see why not..only thing I could see if then you'd wouldent be cleaning out the oil thats sitting between the cooler and the transmission.
This filter shown ^^^ does not look like the filter in my 2013 Outback's TR580 CVT. Also, yours shows 2 bolts on the filter too, mine has 3 bolts. General Idea is the same
Mine is from a 2015. Guess they changed it a little bit
nice!! You will soon rebuilt the engine!! 🙂 By the way, do you know whether you can stick a magnet or two OUTSIDE of the CVT pan? (not sure magnets will stick)? My '16 is at around 100K now and will do the flush. See you on the OB forum as well!!
On the outside of the pan? Why would you have it outside the pan? I must be understanding you wrong.
But the magnet will "stick" to anything that is metal.
@@nappyjim The metal fragments adhere to the inside of the oil pan adjacent to the magnet on the outside. When you clean the pan you just wipe the metal fragments out...
@@michaeldoherty2289 ahhhhh. Very interesting. Never thought of that
@@michaeldoherty2289 This..thanks for explaning 🙂 Also (not sure this works but..) prevent metal particles "roaming" inside the tranny (hence most diffs / trannys have magnetic plugs?)
@@nappyjim Aruminum?
Wow 345k. Was this the first oil change?
2nd. Did first one at about 215K
@@nappyjim'14 Outback here: i just hit the 99k mark, about to do it's first tranny oil / filter change. as long as one takes care of their cars it should keep running smooth
i have a '68 Slant Six Dodge Dart that the engine is still running strong, needs new oil pan gasket especially at the oil pump which is on the outside of the engine and wouldn't you know it the motor mount is in the way LOL
Dart's transmission also need new gaskets other than that it won't break
Considering the first change was at 215K, I think the CVT itself seems pretty durable... Lack of maintenance and all @@fvrrljr
