Hahahaha! Like refilling a diesel truck's tank with the fuel drained from it after having to replace a clogged fuel pump.

"define better."

by my experience as an ordinary diver,
"it does not matter, CVT or regular AT."
i just step on the gas and my car moves.
i step on the break if i need it to slow down or stop.

i have a MT.
the trans box has not shown any issue, even after more than 140K km of non-maintenance.
i replaced the trans oil only once, after ondoy.

CVT i think easy to maintain.

yespo.
just like AT, i bring my car to the maintenance shop and let the guys do the greasy work.
while waiting, i relax and sip some coffee in their waiting lounge.
heh heh heh.

back in the day, we would change our MT's transmission oil by ourselves. it was easy.
today, medyo mabusisi na... it's not as easy as yesterdecades' drain-and-replace procedure.

I disagree. Traditional A/T and CVT are maintained practically the same way.... drain and fill.

CVTs are just much less reliable overall so they may benefit from more pampering in terms of operational usage and maintenance, compared to a traditional A/T.

Parehas lang. Just do the scheduled maintanance.

IMHO, the biggest potential hassle from a CVT is if the casa claims it changed the CVT fluid but, in truth, didn't really do it.

And it happens a lot more often than people think.

amen.
they said they cleaned and adjusted my brakes.
when i went to my suking banawe boys, the next day... "ser, parang ngayon lang na-buksan ito (since new)". napaka-dumi sa loob!
