So here we are. At 199,000 mi and some change. I bought the car and December of 2020 with 30,000 miles on it. Had a CVT fluid exchange done that day before I left the dealer. And then one CVT fluid exchange every 10 to 15,000 miles with Castrol transmax and then recently adding the BG Cvt 303 additive as I had a very very light wet spot on a transmission seal that has now since dried up. Oil that was used was redline oil 0w-20 and ar9100 till about a little over 100,000 miles. At that point I converted over to using various 0w 30s as well as 5W30 synthetic oils along with LM Ceratec every third oil change. I did use their hydraulic lifter additive not because I have, but when I had ordered MOS2 from the Amazon I failed to look inside and seen that they sent the wrong cans. Called customer service and they told me that it would be fine and actually it would help keep things cleaner inside and that no harm would be done. Right before this service probably about 175 or 185,000 mi ago I went out and supported one of our new donors @High Performance Lubricants and bought a few quarts of their engine cleaner 30.
I think it looks pretty good some people will say it does others will say I could have used a different oil. Whatever opinions people may have I'm sure glad that I did it the way that I did it and I don't have any regrets.
Services done were spark plug replacement along with new valve cover gasket and adjusting of the valves, I got a new belt tensioner and a new belt, I bought a brand new water pump, brand new brakes and rotors, brake fluid exchange, CVT transmission drain and fill, and oil change and tire rotation and balance with nitrogen.
