Does anyone know the refill capacity after a drain only.

I know the transmission empty takes 8.3 litres to fill, but what I cannot find is the refill capacity from just a drain only.

As the convertor will not empty on a drain only what is the average refill amount.

I've attached the CVT maintenance manual. I don't see any other fill specs then the 8.3l listed on page 3.

You could measure how much fluid is drained, and add the same volume of the fresh fluid afterwards. Check the CVT level before and after to adjust as needed.

Was hoping someone might be able to give me an indication, so as I would know how much to purchase.

4 Litre's is around the $130 dollar mark.

Let me know when we get this figured out so we can sticky it. If anyone does a DIY that would be great.
