Just received and installed my ScanGauge3. What a pleasure and ease of installation. Gives me my CVT oil temperature and engine water temperature which were to of the main things that I was looking for for towing, plus there is a lot of other data available. Going to be towing 5000km this summer so just in time and looking forward to tracking the CVT oil temperature to see if a bigger cooler is necessary. I rate this product 10/10.

I don't see CVT fluid(oil) temp as an XGauge for some unknown reason. Could you tell me what it says on the XGauge screen for Subaru when you did the scan. I created an XGauge manually by inputing all the codes. But I can't seem to get it onto a gauge. Must be missing something.

Hi CogenMan, as per TR8R, when I plugged mine in the first thing I did was the WIFI update as per my supplier. There were already 4 or 5 updates there. The ATF Temperature showed in xGauge.

Thanks Mike. I did the Wi-Fi update when I installed it. I'll check the XGauges for ATF TEMP.
Thanks Mike. I still can't find ATF on the XGauges but I was able to get the transmission fluid temp on a gauge from the codes I inputed manually. Got it on page #3. I usually leave gauges on page #1 up as they have the gauges I'm most interested in. Battery volts, oil temp, coolant temp. Found a neat trick you can do with your gauges. You can move them around on the page to were you want them by dragging them with a finger to a new location on the page. Neat.

Strange that you still cant find the ATF Temp. I am heading out this morning and will take a pic of my xGauge page and share later. Thanks for the trip. If I recall correctly, if you press and hold the gauge you want to change it also brings up the menu with the various selections to choose from.

I've been following this thread and just received my Scangauge 3. Curious if anyone has set the audible warnings. Here's what I'm setting my audible warning values to:
I'm curious what you all think, too high, too low? I'm just taking a stab in the dark to start with based on some of the values I've read for these temps.

I have just ATF active right now at 240F. It’s been well established CVTF has a much greater max temp than ATF. But anything above that does start decreasing longevity exponentially. I follow the severe use maint schedule because I tow and replace fluids every 25k miles. So I’m comfortable to 240. Will be having dealer install the Mishimoto WRX CVT cooler as a secondary cooler for good measure next month though.

Thanks for the quick reply, that makes sense. I wish that you could set ranges of values that would change the color of monitored values. white, yellow, orange, red for example. The audible alert is nice but it seems like the screen is capable of a lot more than what they currently are taking advantage of.

Excuse the Celcius vs Fahrenheit. I have to work back to Celcius as that is all I know LOL. I have my CVT temp set at 90C, Water at 100C and engine oil at 110C. With normal mainly open road driving, with no load, CVT temp been running at 70C, water at 85C and engine oil at 95C. Engine oil went to 104C when I ran her hard for a bit. I will be towing an ATV on trailer on Friday for the holidays and will be doing about 4000km. Will let you know how the temperatures change with towing.

Do you have an existing factory CVT oil cooler in front of the radiator/condenser? If so, are you replacing this or putting the new one in series with it? Or just the water oil unit on the engine?

This YouTube video on installing a CVT cooler seems pretty applicable even though it's on a forester. I may do this at some point in the future. The only thing I question is how the CVT cooler mounts to the existing engine radiator. It seems a bit sketchy

I have used these before on my Toyota trucks. Never hand any problems with it. The nice thing about mounting it directly to the radiator like that is that you get some air been pulled over the oil cooler even at low speeds with the electric radiator cooling fans or engine fan. The cooler shown is not as efficient as some of the plate and fin designs but still works well. If you look at the Hayden 697 0r 698 bypass cooler, it has a built in thermal bypass that stops the overcooling of the oil in colder temperatures. With a system like this you can eliminate the thermostat shown in the video and make the system a bit more simple.

The dealer will be installing the secondary cooler pre OEM condenser/cooler/warmer. That way it’s pre cooled before the OEM unit so in colder weather the condenser warms it back up to about 199F.

Out of interest sake, I must have a look at the routing of the pipes for my factory CVT oil cooler that I have in front of the aircon condenser to see how the oil flows
