That will cause claims denials. You will also probably destroy your CVT. I already had to help a service center figure out why they toasted
three in the
same car.
Our TR690 has a much higher clamping pressure, and different valve body programming and different internal pressure and is under much higher load.
Unless it has happened in the last few weeks, Amsoil does NOT have a compatible fluid. Only JX Nippon does, the last time I checked, and they exclusively sell it to Subaru.
Previous TR690 CVT fluids do not work in our TR690 CVT.
In the few day interim, I got the correct part numbers and explained what was happening to them, and they double checked everything and confirmed.
The fluid used was supposedly TR690 compatible. It isn't for our TR690. It will sheer, burn, fall apart and come out through the vents in vaporized burnt form. Friction will increase tremendously under the higher clamping pressure and the CVT will screech and stink.
