Daskuppler Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Hello Everyone, I have to do a drain and fill on my 14 Forester CVT. I had a dedicated fluid pump for this but accidentally used it for ATF on another vehicle. If I were to use it again on the CVT and pumped a few pumps of CVT through to flush the ATF, would the residual ATF cause any damage? I would think it would be so diluted it wouldn't matter, but I know these things can be sensitive. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 After flushing it'll be such a small amount I'd guess it's negligible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up using about 0.5qts of the old fluid to flush, then a couple pumps of the new fluid to clear out the old. Hasn't blown up yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
