    Castrol universal atf/cvt

    sharing my experience... We did a drain-and-fill on our 2012 Suzuki SX4 (Jatco CVT) for the first time at 110k miles Bought used at 40k miles, and I am sure no transmission fluid change before we had it. After some research, we decided to go with a high-viscosity aftermarket CVT-compatible...
