My local mechanic is advising against a CVT flush at 60K since my QX60 is now 8 years old! Says I should have done it at least once before (at 5 years). In his opinion if I do it now there is a 50% chance that the SUV will start slipping gears in 3-6 months. Any idea as to the validity of his claims? He thinks it would be better to just keep the fluids till the tranny gives up at 125k or so and then pay the 3-4k for a new one.
I am a bit torn, especially since he says he used to rebuild transmissions and has seen this happen a lot, even on Infiniti vehicles. OR should I just go ahead and get it done at the dealership who are happy to replace the CVT fluids? Please help!
