I changed the oil a week ago..i did the drain and fill method and repeated it after I ran the car a couple days..just like you mentioned in your comment..I wasn't comfortable with the power flush method becuase of the mixed reviews on the internet and locally..so I ultimately did it the old fashioned way..the car works great..SLVR1 wrote:Drain and fill. A flush done incorrectly can/will damage the CVT. If starved of fluid for a few secs. that CVT will have issues. A well maintained vehicle does not require a flush which is more a money making scheme done by dealerships and others. Some will debate this. It should be every 2yrs or 40,000kms based on which comes first. If you want, do a drain and fill, drive several hundred kms and then do another drain and fill. No biggy. If you feel comfortable, you can do this yourself if you look on youtube many vids show how to do it and your manual will have the fluid amts. required vs me going through the steps. Based on age I take it this was done before by the dealer?

That was the first time I changed the fluid but I didn't go to the dealer..I went to a mechanic..he did a great job..very professional..
