How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Service type, Drain & fill (~40-50% fluid replaced), and Full flush (100% replaced).
  2. Set Transmission type, Automatic, and Manual.
  3. Adjust CVT, Fluid grade as needed.
  4. Review the Total service cost ($) result.
  5. Use Fluid cost ($) and Total parts (fluid + filter + gasket) ($) to inform your decision.

How the result changes with Shop labor rate ($/hr)

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Service type = 0, Transmission type = 0, Fluid grade = 1, Shop labor rate ($/hr) = 100 = 6 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total service cost
    Total service cost = totalPartsCost + totalLaborCost
    188 = $188
  3. Calculate Fluid cost
    Fluid cost = quartsNeeded * fluidCostPerQuart
    48 = $48
  4. Calculate Total parts
    Total parts = totalFluidCost + filterCost + gasketCost
    88 = $88
