u should go back to the workshop to get it change ,cvt fluid are for cvt gearbox not for normal transmission .too thin the fluid may cause the internal clutch lining to wear off and cause shift shock . :nonod:

Irresponsible workshop. Put wrong oil, still tell customer to accept it by saying it's ok.
