Re: Want to drain/flush ECVT
Hi that link didn't help. Could you describe in more details of where the holes are?
Should I remove the driver side wheel or passenger side wheel? Which side should I work on and the bolts facing?

Re: Want to drain/flush ECVT
Thank you, Replaced the fluid, at 80k Miles, it was still Blackish Red, personally thought the fluid could've of lasted another 30k miles. Replaced 4.25 quarts of Matic W (60$ Total (5qts)). Rigged this contraption with a garden hose. When I was adding the Matic W ATF, it was dripping a little bit from the fill hole, so you have to go really slow. Nonetheless I took my time pouring the fluid in the funnel, it still dripped a little bit. So after pouring 4.5 quarts I had .25 quarts drip in the drain pain from fill hole that I placed underneath the car. 
2- eCVT Transfluid DRAIN plug
3- eCVT Coolant drain

Re: Want to drain/flush ECVT
The eCVT does use a special rated trans fluid , I just got mine straight from Dealer. The fill and drain plugs are about at 9 o'clock and 6 o'clock respectively. I think if you are down there you will see what I mean. I also ran across the coolant plug and finally checked the factory service manual. I highly recommend getting one if you plan t do work on this car as it helps you avoid the "extras"

Re: Want to drain/flush ECVT
If i recall correctly, the perspective was using the drive shaft axle point as the center and going 9 and 6 oclock. I went looking for a pic but cant find one. I DO have a pdf of the HEV service if you need it... not sure if the site allows uploads though probably not with copyrights and all eh? I guess if you need it you can drop me a private message and I can find a way to shoot you over a diagram.
