Hello
I have a 2018 forester 2.5i cvt with 10k miles. It is 5 degrees (F) up here in maine today. I let my car warm up for 15 minutes when its single digits here, and my cvt is having a hard time all of a sudden. Even after 20 minutes of driving and letting it warm up, it revs really high and you can't drive much more than 40 mph at 3-4k rpm. This vehicle did not do this last winter and all of this winter up until 2 days ago. I have read about the fluid needing to warm up but don't you think this is a bit excessive? Its not like its -30 or something.
after about 15 miles the rpms go down and all is normal again.
