2018 Honda CRV EXL has a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). I use coasting (under 45 mph) around town to get 33-37 mpg. I had the CVT checked at 30,000 miles and there was no appreciable filings in the oil. We'll be taking a longer trip and I would like to know the damage that I will do if I coast downhills and put it back in gear at speed (probably 60 mph - Texas is 75 on highway). Will this damage the CVT? Should I try to match rpm?

Edit: should have mentioned that it is "engine on" coasting.

Towing info is attached.
