Jeff,
Thanks for the info on the CVT oil breakdown. I am definitly motivated to get my hands on some and change out soon. I change my engine oil yearly (about 4000 miles) but was hoping the tranny would be OK since it isn't in a combustion atmosphere to get contamintated. Cheap insurance...I'm changing my CVT oil early now. When you change yours out do you go through all the steps as outlined in the Bentley manual or just replace as much as you drained out?

Sejanus,
I do need to get out more. Unfortunately, I can't drive out of here (Juneau, AK) so only have a few miles of road to drive on...and I don't use it in ice, salt, and rocks season as I have a sacrificial 4x4 for that. Maybe a ferry trip is in the works soon to get out of here for awhile.
