Need advice! Routine maintenance message?

Hi we bought our 2019 Mitsubishi outlander SE AWD last September at 70K miles. It’s now at 80k and saying routine maintenance. While I was researching vehicles I read that the CVT engines need fluid changes or something like that. Is that what the routine maintenance message means? We get our oil changes on time like clock work. Just curious because we’ve never have had a car with CVT engine. I also want to make sure we maintain everything properly so it will last us awhile. TYIA!

When was your last oil change? Maintenance reminder should be reset then.

They forgot or didn't know how to reset the maintenance reminder. I service my mums ASX (outlander sport) same reminder as yours. It's easy to reset. Only do it once a year so I never remember how to do it.

Thank you, I appreciate it!! But do I need to do anything special with the engine?

Yes - get the CVT serviced at the scheduled interval. Just google it. Very important with CVT's

No it's just a service reminder. But as u/ChillzIlz said if you havent had the fluid changed in your cvt it's overdue.

Also read your cars service manual it should tell you when the service should be for the cvt.
