Love your avatar! Fellow pede all the way no doubt. I'm a little concerned looking at that but someone with more experience with CVT's should chime in here. I have a manual SI.

Thanks for complement🫂 but I hope the CVT is all good I do know minimum shaving is somewhat normal but after putting the CVT cooler it should help more with wear and tear just hope it ain't the end of a good transmission

Just some metal shaving from the CVT fluid change never done one in my life so I'm not used to these things

How was the color of fluid? Did it smell bad?

That's not good for a first drain and fill, but I still wouldn't worry too much.

Normal to see some metal on the magnets in pan or drain plug.

Why CVT cooler? Are you tracking the car?
