130,000 miles and its changed every 20k. Going back to Wyoming,should I swap to Amsoil CVT / Redline. OEM is HCF2. Would like all the help from the car gods please.

I agree. Contaminates and wear metals drain out with the old fluid. Using fresh fluid is always a plus. I am not sure straying too far from the OEM fluid spec is required or helpful. Nor do I believe there will be much difference between brands that make compatible fluids. I think it would simply be a guess at this point. CVT's have some very interesting operational conditions. Honda's CVT is different than Nissan's and has a different fluid requirement. I don't think Redline's fluid is the right choice.

I've done many similar mods on a 12 year old automatic Camry...

Plus your wife can drive it since it doesn't have a manual transmission.
