This reminds me of food and nutrition stuff. "Experts" say something is bad for you and then a year later they say its good or vice versa.

When I was reading about CVT fluids last summer, the notion was belt driven CVT fluids should not be used in chain driven CVT's because it lacks the extra protection (anti-wear) needed for a chain. Now they got one fluid for both? I'm not brave enough to try. These CVT's are expensive to replace so I'll stick with the Subaru fluid unless somebody comes out with something designed specifically for chain drive.
