DIY 2013 - 2017 Honda Accord CVT Transmission Fluid Change

[@vidsexpert234]

this video is SOLID with all the part numbers and diagrams

[@souk4507]

One of the most detailed oriented education video for that gen Accord. Part numbers, demonstations, diagrams and torque specs!!! You got a like and subcribe. Thank you!

[@MrSmith-ok7tl]

Excellent video! You show details like torque specs, and fluid type and volumes. For a drain/refill 3.7 quarts Vs a full overhaul 7.6 quarts indicates that a drain/refill is NOT a full change but only a partial change (about half remains in the transmission). So, do this regularly to refresh the fluid since it is not a full change. Good to know!

Is a good idea to change the Transmission fluid in a 10 year old Accord? Some swear you shouldn't.

[@faxmen09]

Very nicely done with the wealth of specs, parts, etc. for easy reference. 🏆

[@jonathansavala4825]

So well put together. I could watch this guy do videos like this all the time. Great job man

[@sarahrodriguez9551]

Extremely helpful and informative. Thank you for including part numbers, this was amazing!

[@andrewbatres5918]

Excellent video sir!! Thank you for taking the time to post it, very thorough. Very helpful

[@robertwilken8745]

I would like to know how to reset the mileage maintenance minder after changing the transmission fluid. Could you please share?

[@richardl341]

Thank you very much for making this video.

[@superdude7459]

Just got a 10 year old Accord not long ago. Is it a good idea to change the fluid? And also is it true you must put some of the old fluid back into it? 🤔

[@JasonB-rr4hf]

My Honda 2017 Accord Hybrid doesn't have the same check bolt location as yours. I have no idea where it is. Can I just measure the exact amount of transmission fluid taken out and putting back that same amount for the new fluid?

[@zimzar]

Best video for this procedure Thank you ✌️

[@BigChez50]

Great information!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@davidleroy9521]

When do you check fluid level at check bolt? When trans is warm or cold? I changed fluid and filters recently and need to check level but not sure when to based on car temp?

[@PaleViper1]

Appreciate it, helped me a lot :)

[@geneotrexler8246]

Excellent video 👍

[@cameronbartley6139]

[@aplusadventures7]

You think u could get away with doing it all without jacking up the car and maybe get a little more out when draining ?

[@mikethompson3534]

What about the main filters 2 each on the side and the in pan?

[@venturevlogz]

I did my 2013 accord. The mechanic only used 3L. They said only 3L came out so they put 3L. Is that okay?

[@davidkuzmanov3488]

Great video I have question. My 17 accord ,have 117k miles . Not sure priviuos owner change or not . Is it late to change fluid or do you recomend . Thanks

[@rogerembry4777]

There’s a filter on the cooler that needs replacing

[@davidhughes6368]

Have you tried changing the trans filter?

[@DIYCarModz]

I have not services the transmission filter yet. I did purchase the transmission filter and o rings and plan to change it out on my next cvt transmission fluid change. I will post a how to change the filter then.

[@em8819]

When you take off the battery tray, their is a transmission filter housing(look like a cooler line) its easy to service it.

[@beenthere6769]

@@em8819 no it is not easy. do not spread misinformation

[@BikeLifeHooligan]

@@DIYCarModzdid you ever change the tranny filter and make a video of it?

[@vimo1133]

Hi I really need an advoice, I bought a 2013 Honda Accord 2.4 with 104000 miles on it. I chcecked the carfax but I couldn't find anything regards to the Transmission oil change. If it has never done until now, do you think is it good or bad to change the transmisson oil now? Can you please give me you opinion on this?

[@DIYCarModz]

Change it with Original Honda fluid. Do not use any aftermarket trans fluid that is advertised to be compatible with Honda vehicle.

[@007bandri]

All perfect but need one more info. How many Quarts you put it in the transmissions please advise....Thank you....Happy Holiday and Mary Xmas

[@lji2000]

Hey Jeff, quick question / note: I wanna say that the Honda service manual states to check the fill bolt before you run through each gear and to do it relatively quickly after it has been filled. Was there a different thought process in running through the gears first and checking the fill bolt? Also, great idea on slightly loosening the check bolt before lowering the car.

[@georgejesson1944]

Did you ever change the filter?

[@Adoublelan13]

I just did this with my 2013 Accord. I noticed after I was all finished and I was draining my drain pan, that I had more than 4 quarts drain out, but I only put 4 quarts in. I did the check bolt like mentioned in this video and some fluid cane out with the check bolt. So I am not sure how more than 4 quarts came out, I only put 4 quarts in, and leveled it off with the check bolt, but still have enough fluid? There was only .1 or .2 quarts extra it seemed like in the drain pain. Could it have been overfilled last time it was serviced? I just bought this car.

[@RuralRouteStepChild]

Other videos state that it closer to 3.75 qts Any updates?

[@7CharlesV]

Hey, great to see your videos again, or maybe I've just missed them? How do you like the Honda CVT transmission? I have to think that the bugs have been worked out by now? On my 2009 Fit Sport (normal automatic) I've tried to follow the practice of draining and refilling every 2-300 miles (since the trans still has some older fluid left in it) for about a cycle of four changes. Then about 25-30k before the next series of cycles begins. And of course ONLY Honda specific transmission fluid. Thanks again for your great videos and tutorials! Charles

[@DIYCarModz]

We have a newer Honda Civic that also has a CVT transmission. The civic drives much smoother than this 2013 Accord. As long as all fluids are maintained and changed regularly, I don't think it will have issues down the road. For me personally, I prefer early preventative maintenance rather than trying to extend the mileage between services That is why I change my engine oil every 5K and cvt once a year.

[@7CharlesV]

@@DIYCarModz Yeah, that works for me, too, regarding the oil changes. I take the "mileage minder" oil change recommendations with a grain of salt. Full synthetic every 5000 miles and a Mobil1 or Honda oil filter; so far so good. Thanks again!

[@China-Wave]

Hey I've heard alot about the oil consumption on these accords. How is yours holding up?

[@littlebr4d]

My 2013 has 171k on it and at around 135k I noticed it was using about 1qt after about 9000mi or so. I replaced the PCV at that point, and then I switched from changing it when the 'oil life' read 0% and switched to just doing it as soon as possible after the 15% indicator came on (about 8500mi). So now when I change it it's still in the 'safe' zone but on the lower end. If I'm unable to change it around the time the 15% indicator comes on I'll just toss a quart in there to hold me over. I also change my CVT fluid every 30k like he says in the video. Zero issues with the CVT.

[@TC-cd5sm]

You had mentioned in the video you change the fluid every 30,000 miles but manual says 45 to 60,000. What do you recommend?

[@DIYCarModz]

The reason why I change it early is due to it being a cvt transmission. The car stops and shifts like butter once the oil is changed. I used to change it every 50k but noticed that the car would stop and go abruptly. So now I change it yearly.

[@bstar1]

​I got my 2014 Honda Accord sport when it had 35,000 mi and now it has 120 4000 me never change the transmission fluid would it be okay to do so?

[@cedar23CA]

Hi, would you please verify your link to the washers? The drain washer 90471-PX4-000 (18mm) and the check washer 90471-PW7-A00 (10mm)?

[@DIYCarModz]

I've update the part numbers. The drain bolt washer is 18Mm and check bolt washer is 10MM.

[@christiancampos6454]

hello, the ignition of your car is also somewhat abrupt when the engine is completely cold?

[@DIYCarModz]

On cold starts it is. I will be changing the cam chain tension on this vehicle. There is a TSB for this TSB 19-019

[@kEEPITMOVIN408]

Do you know the torque spec for the transmission pan bolts ?

[@allenyee4782]

36 lb/ft

[@sermac3246]

👍

[@alijoon1621]

Do I need to add more than 4 qt if I changed the filter?

[@dennismelville7532]

No... the filter is internal and is not serviceable unless tear apart the transmission. Every 30k, 3 & 1/2 qts drain & fill and you'll be good to go.

[@alijoon1621]

@@dennismelville7532 there is a filter outside of the transmission. It's behind the fluid warmer.

[@dennismelville7532]

@@alijoon1621 I've never seen it, but I am familiar with the paper filters behind the coolers on Nissan CVT's. If it is there like you said... every other drain & fill should be sufficient to change it at 60k. 👍🏻😎

[@noneyerbidness]

My 2017 Accord has HCF-2 printed at the fluid cap on the engine - but the manual says to use ATF-DW1. I'm confused. Any idea?

[@DIYCarModz]

Atf is for automatic v6 transmission. Hcf is for cvt transmission.

[@noneyerbidness]

@@DIYCarModz I appreciate the reply. But I still don't know what that means or which to use.

How much would you charge to do my car!! I have a 2014 Honda Accord.

[@DIYCarModz]

If you don't have the time or tools to do this yourself, I would check with your local Honda dealership service department. They usually have specials and will match the local dealership service special pricing. For example, my local Honda dealership charges $120 to do this service. www.pacifichonda.com/service/transmission/
