I have a Phearable 1.5R tune in my 2021 civic ex. I was looking at cvt coolers the other day, and I was wondering, would this really make my cvt last longer? I understand it would help the fluid if it’s running colder, but if I’m making consistent fluid changes(every 25k miles), with a good brand like amsoil, would a cooler make a difference?
My biggest fear right now is my transmission blowing, when I first bought this car, I launched it a few times (at least 7 times), I wasn’t aware of the consequences, as this is my first CVT. After doing research, I’ve been going very light off stops, and hopefully nothing comes back to bite me.
Now my question is, other than a CVT cooler, good maintenance, and not beating up my car, is there anything I can do to make the CVT last longer? This might sound dumb, as what I stated seems like all you could do to increase longevity, but if anyone has tried something and had success, please let me know.
Also, slightly off topic, but what temperature is normal for a cvt to run on?
