Do what the manual states.

The CVT is the weakest link on those vehicles.  I would stick to only the OEM fluid. You also should have been changing the fluid every 20,000-30,000 miles on those;  and don’t drive the vehicle hard.  This would help prolong life of the transmission a little but it’s still a weak link.

If you are able to, at 160,000 miles I would look to get rid of the vehicle before your CVT eventually goes out:  it is living on burrowed time.
