Ive got 58k on my ‘19 Ascent (about 2500 miles is mine) and as soon as the weather quits being schizophrenic I will be putting the HPL CVT fluid in it and will start a thread on that. I understand the people that are sketchy about a “non-approved” fluid in this instance, but IMO Subaru doesn’t really have clean hands with the CVT issues- sure, they extended the warranty on some (but not mine

) to 100k, but after that, since a failed CVT essentially can’t be rebuilt, and Subaru is the only place to buy a new CVT, they know one of their dealers is essentially certain to get rhe ~$7k CVT replacement job.
OTOH, HPL has a proven record of delivering great performance regardless of the application, and since I’ve trusted HPL with about $70k of equipment so far, they’ve never let me down. If Dave says it’s been formulated to meet or exceed the needs of the Subaru CVTs, I feel that’s a safe bet. For me. Others will have to make the decision on their own.
