Re: CVT Fluid Issues/Changing

Huh, interesting you say that the fluid is supposed to be green. I checked it at the dealer I bought it from last year (fluid was bright red) looked like it had just been changed.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

Recently returned from a 2.5 month work trip to Virginia...I live near Seattle.
