Yes, it is a good idea to service the transmission. Here is a guide to help and the instructions on how to service your car in the images below.


Specified fluid: SUBARU CVT OIL FOR LINEARTRONIC

Caution:
Always use specified CVTF. Using other fluid will cause malfunction.

Although CVTF filter is a maintenance-free part, replace it if a large quantity of wear debris and metal particles are found in CVTF and CVTF filter.
