I think not much people want to try as if damage the repair cost is huge....... :crycry:

Also you change every 60-80K...means about 3ys you change once.

Not worth taking the risk unless you only plan to drive for 2-3yrs and change ride. ;)

For me sure stick to original... :thumbsup:

Hi, just to share my opinion. CVT very $$$... So for kiasu people like me i change the CVT oil at every 40,000km. Better safe than sorry. I had mine done at Kelvin's workshop in July. Original NS-2. Not expensive also especially for peace of mind. Cheers!

i know that if gear box is dmg... definitely need to change a new one (hardly possible to repair).. Price for a new gear box is around $1500-2500..

so i think not worth trying new cvt oil... some more dont think will affect performance by a lot
