I would do another D&F and add LubeGard RED as some varnishing and glazing may have occurred. Follow bottle directions and don't overtreat.
Another drain and fill would probably help if I can talk my friend into it lol. Lubegard's website says that their Red fluid supplement isn't for use in CVTs, but they have a Yellow supplement for CVTs.
That is correct, I meant the CVT supplement in the Yellow bottle, not the Red bottle. Lubegard's CVT additive would be the appropriate cleaner, but owing to the amount of phosphorus it contains, I would use 1/2 of the recommended dosage AND make sure you don't overfill. CVT's can be finnicky when overfilled.
