"The new ZF-Batavia CVT also is designed for ease of ownership. Maintenance recommended at 60,000 miles includes draining and refilling the transmission fluid - no filter change is necessary - and under normal use, the drive belt is good for the life of the vehicle."

"Possible source for traction drive fluid."

I would expect the Ford CVT to have an extensive computer management
system, I'm not sure how readily it would integrate into your application.

I think most people missed the last line where I was just
looking for the fluid Ford uses. If we can buy traction fluid
from your local Ford dealer that is a big plus.
