Oh no! that sucks the dealer just took my interstate battery out and put back in one of theres and told me I should not of changed it to a aftermarket one....I told them it should not have gone bad so early. so now I have a new crap battery in the car and my good interstate is probably in the service mangers MINI.

It was at service# 1 34,000 MI that they changed the battery I put it in at 29,000 MI when it failed completly while driveing shorted out internally!!!!. My dealer is a day drive so I do most my own service but service 1 calls for a cvt fluid change so I took it in and they did it.

back to the topic.....we have a 2004 CVT at 37,000 MI works great no probs. at all.
