Best Subaru CVT Fluid

I waited a few years and tens of thousands of miles before finally writing this review. I currently have 3 Subaru. 2014 Subaru Legacy 2.5i CVT, 2014 Subaru Impreza 2.0 CVT and 2015 WRX CVT. The WRX has an in-line engine, fully bolted connections and an upgraded 350 hp turbocharged engine. I have used this fluid exclusively in all three of these vehicles. Now the Wrx has 75,000 miles on this fluid, the 2014 Subaru Impreza has 75,000 and the Legacy has over 30,000. This liquid works! I had no problems and was amazed at how well it worked in my WRX, which put twice the power through the gearbox as a standard Wrx. This fluid is much better than the stock fluid used by Subaru. It can withstand higher temperatures before degrading, has better friction modifiers to prevent chain slippage, and appears to last much longer than standard oil. First I flushed all 30,000, but after the second time the liquid looked completely new. I sent it in to Blackstone Lab for lab analysis and it came back with amazing results. I know change intervals of 60,000 km.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
