So do you think in my case (CVT temp over 115 C / 240 F on mountain road) is fine and no need to worry? Not hot enough?

I see, I never do that nor brake launching. I just do a precautionary. If I notice my CVT is not performing properly, it was too late, isn't it?

Could you explain about shifting too rapidly?

But seriously, could it handle 150 C? Because I am tired of pulling over everytime I see temp reaches 115 C 😂

You wanna see when it's blowing up? I'll take pictures 😭 I was having fun meanwhile my 235/40/18 Michelin PS5 front tires keep spinning when I take over cars in front.

Yes I can move on from engine oil issue. so the CVT temp is fine?

After an hour of spirited driving on canyon hill with high boost mode, if I dont pull over, the CVT temp will continue to increase to 118 C and possibly 120 C up but I never try it and pull over right away to have some rest. How high is too high or 120 C is fine? Btw thanks for your insight.

Glad to hear that 0W20 is totally fine. Do you have solution with CVT temp high temperature?

Did you mean oil temp? If yes, unfortunately I can't monitor it. On my Ktuner V2 only ECT available. Yes I wonder, should I go with 0w20 or 5w30?

Yes a hatch L15B7 CVT with TSP Stage 1 Non Si tune. 3 inch catless downpipe 3 inch frontpipe HKS exhaust Intercooler upgrade 93 octane. No track purpose, only spirited driving + normal driving around city with tropical and humid ambient 32C. Since car brand new until now I am using Amsoil SS...

I see, but have you tried the 0W20 and any difference? Yours Type R right?

Just stick to the 0W20?

I am asking if it is dangerous or not healthy for long term use in this case. Everything is fine. Actually I know it because I keep monitoring the ktuner V2, if I dont, I just drive it away as I wanted and everything feels normal. I just fear of suddenly blow it up. Either the CVT temp that...

Do you recommend to switch to 5W30 or this is still fine with 0W20?

Hello fellow friends, Could you please advice regarding on ECT 2 increases gradually above 90 Celcius to 95, 96 and to 100 C and peak 102 C then drops sooner below 95 C and repeat the cycles as I kick down high boost on canyon uphill road. Should I switch to 5W30 or stick to the Amsoil SS 0W20...

So the conclusion is 0w20 or 5w30 for spirited driving daily driving in hot climate 32 C? (no track purposes)
