2017 Outback, 2.5i, 78,000 miles.
For reasons too boring and complicated to explain, it's unclear whether my Outback received a CVT flush when it was brought in for service 6 months ago with my regular (trusted) mechanic. No one remembers and there's no documentation. But it probably WAS done.
I'm bringing car back to same mechanic in a couple of days for differential flush and transfer case flush.
QUESTIONS:
1) Is there a way for mechanic to fairly easily determine whether work WAS done just by inspecting car?
2) Money issues aside, could re-doing the CVT flush so soon after the first one (possibly) was done, cause damage to the vehicle. Again, first flush - if it was done - would have been six months/5,300 miles ago. The mileage then was around 72,700.
Note 1: both of these would be FLUSHES, not drain & fills.
Note 2: mechanic is not with a Subaru service center.
Thank you.
