CVT Fluid and Filter Change

Hi all,

I read somewhere that it is good to change the CVT fluid in our cars every 30k miles. I had a fluid change done at 61k miles. Currently at 88k, 3 and a half years later. It's an 09 S. Car is in the shop for other odds and ends so I figured I would have it done again. I've read on the forum to also change the internal filter in the pan, as well as another filter attached to the frame behind the driver side front wheel. Also to install a trans cooler. Do I need to also perform a fluid flush? Is it too soon to do another fluid change? Trans cooler recommendations? I drive my car moderately hard on occasion. Would appreciate if someone could tell me if I have correct info on what to do.

Thanks everyone

I would not do a flush, but that's just me. I'd just do the drain and fill along with the external filter this time around.
