Can I use ATF instead of CVT fluid?
CVT fluid is specially formulated for the particular friction requirements of the steel band and pulleys. ATF is made for clutches. If you accidentally put ATF in a CVT, you will need to completely drain and flush the unit.
What happens if you never change transmission fluid?

sport injection
Short for “sport injection” but really just a marketing term for fuel injection, the moniker first emerged in the mid-1980s when most Hondas were still carbureted. Enhanced with fuel injection, the Si’s tiny engines had the extra power needed to set them apart.
Does it matter what transmission fluid I use?
The type of transmission fluid you should use depends upon the make, model and year of your vehicle. For example, many General Motor cars will require a DEXRON fluid and Ford cars commonly specify a MERCON fluid. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer recommendation for proper fluid use and change interval.
