Apparently, changing the CVT fluid on a Subaru actually requires the scan tool to take the transmission temperature because you have to run it and keep filling it a little more once it's warmed up. It's not like Toyota that recommends a scan tool for their CVT changes but you can get away with just measuring cold and refilling the same amount. And of course, Honda doesn't even require any scan tools for their CVT fluid changes at all.
Since Subarus require it, what is the cheapest scan tool that reads transmission temperature? Is there anything under $200 that will do the job? Hopefully there's something cheap that can do transmission temp.
