Level and compatibility
Use the specified fluid and the transmission-specific level-check procedure. Conventional ATF, belt-CVT fluid and manual gear oil are not interchangeable.
Severe-use applicability
Use severe intervals when the car is MAINLY driven on short trips (under 5 miles, or under 10 miles in freezing weather), above 90°F/32°C, with extensive idling/stop-go, with a roof carrier/in mountains, or on muddy, dusty or de-iced roads. Occasional exposure alone does not select severe.
