Honda Civic CVT Fluid Change 2014-2015 - 5 Minute DIY Video

How to change your CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) Fluid in a 2014-2015 Honda Civic ( late 9th generation Civic 2014, 2015). NOTE: this is for CVT models only, on 2012-2013 this would be vary rare. The process would be very similar but the fluid would be different (ATF DW-1). Refer to your manual for the correct transmission fluid for your car, the PDF manuals are linked at the end of this description. This is a 2014 Honda Civic EX Sedan. Your transmission fluid change will be very similar. This will save you a lot of money and only takes about a half hour to replace yourself. I bought the CVT Fluid from a Honda Dealer for $12.47 a quart.
Tools:
Phillips Head Screw Driver
17MM Socket
3/8" Ratchet
Vehicle Ramps - amzn.to/3nw6ZRK
Parts:
4 quarts Honda HCF-2 CVT Fluid or equivalent
1 CVT Drain Bolt 18MM Washer

Man I wish you did more videos on 2014 honda civic maintenance. Straight to the point. No chatter and quick step by step video. Easy just time consuming process.

[@sergioortiz778]

[@sierrakiloindia2904]

I found this video a couple weeks ago as I have just changed my transmission fluid today (07/01/23). This video was extremely helpful with the time being minimal and the details on performing this procedure being short and precise. I see a lot of individuals sharing points and tips so I figure I will share mine during my experience. I leveled my car on jack stands in my garage, I had to loosen both the fluid check bolt and the drain bolt with a 3/8 breaker bar. I made sure I was able to loosen the check bolt first. Then the drain bolt. When replacing the crush washers on both bolts keep in mind that the washer for the drain bolt is smaller than the washer for the check bolt. I didn’t measure them with calipers so I can’t give measurements for them. I was able to replace the washer for the drain bolt and the washer for the check bolt was in good shape so I reused that one until I can find and use a new one for the next transmission fluid change. When I refilled the fluid I put in roughly 3.5 quarts before fluid started dripping from the check bolt area for the first part of the procedure. I tightened the check bolt and shifted through gears and removed the check bolt again for the second part of the procedure I ended up adding half a quart more until fluid stared dripping from the check bolt area again. I couldn’t find a torque specification so I just tightened it until it was snug similar to snugging an oil drain bolt. In total I ended up filling the transmission with roughly 4 quarts of the HCF-2 transmission fluid as my owners manual specifies the type of fluid to use but not how much. When I got my car it was at 54,500 and I did this fluid change at 61,000 miles as there wasn’t a lot of maintenance information given when I got it so I don’t know when fluids were changed and such. Hopefully this helps whoever reads this comment

[@abkirwan1]

I'm not going to be able to level my car without buying more equipment (I just have the same ramps he used in the video). Thanks for specifying the amount you used. My owners manual says mine (2015 Civic LX Sedan) will take 3.6 Qts but I'm frequently seeing people adding 4.

My car is 2014 I have never change the tranny fluid. Where did you get the information to change your fluid and what interval. My car has 133k no issues. I got it when it had 100k

[@swtfvk]

for 2014-2015 civic 1.8L cvt transmission, the torque specs should be: drain bolt( 36 ft. lbs ), check bolt( 32 ft. lbs ) according to “Vehicle Service Quick Reference Guide Covering 2013 - Later Honda Vehicles”

[@bongodrummer6914]

Snug is GOOD also Honda sells both washers the check bolt washer is a bit more ...always replace the washers...as you plan to do.....do it again in 30-40K and again in 30-40 K ect ect your trans will last a long time... peace...Dont worry about the trans filter....even Honda n the manual dosent mention it CVT trans are very very good

[@greybyrd2]

This guy is the ONLY one who got this CVT oil change right, as others I watched on here (maybe one did mention it) never even talked about the CHECK BOLT to check the fluid level! It’s a crude and strange way for Honda to resort to this method, but it is the same on the Accords I found out and as of 2019, hasn’t changed at all! I was nearly a quart short when I changed my 2014 Civic’s CVT fluid last year, as I measured the fluid I drained out, letting it drain completely and then found that nearly a quart was needed to get it to ovefilll and drain a bit from the check bolt. Not sure what this says, but I believe a lot of folks with new vehicles will have issues and maybe transmission repairs in future years. I suspect most people do not have this done as the dealer cost is high, and also there is the matter of a small CVT oil filter that requires taking the battery out and removing the entire battery compartment! I did this, and the damn filter (Fram) didn’t even fit right as the gasket was too big! But it all came together with some patience and motivation, and I did this first oil change at about 27k miles. Someone suggested changing the oil every 50k after the first drain and fill, which sounds right by all I know. My wife’s 2012 with its 5 speed trans is much easier and fairly simple by comparison. Thanks to this guy! If You Tube removes this video, they are making a HUGE mistake! He got it right, so do SUBSCRIBE and let’s keep the knowledgable people doing vids here on car maintenance supported and show them we care and appreciate their efforts!

Full flush is better in my opinion. It gets all transmission fluid out. 30+ yrs. I've been doing this with excellent success.

[@alexisreyess95]

I thought Honda put out the explicitly not do that because it runs a risk of over pressurizing the transmission solenoids and damaging them

[@I_know_what_im_talking_about]

@@alexisreyess95- old wives tale. We use a flush machine made by BG. It literally matches the transmission line oil pressure and exchanges the fluid in a 1:1 ratio. Nothing is damaged. Relax. You can even DIY without a machine. Just drain 1 quart at a time from a transmission cooler line (trans gently pushes out a quart, shut the car off and add a quart, rinse / repeat 10x or until the fluid coming out is now the new fluid) 👍🏼 It’s easy as can be. You WANT fresh oil in the trans. There’s no such thing as lifetime oil. 🤦🏻‍♂️😤

[@chris2790]

How much overfill is occurring because you're checking the fill level with the front on ramps? Pretty sure you should check fill level while car is level, i.e. on a lift.

[@rayscdn07]

You missed "lift engine to level position" part

[@Mark-nd4in]

@@rayscdn07 It says "lift engine to level position", but that doesn't make sense because the video shows the front tires on ramps, and the rear tires on the ground. The car is not sitting level (front to back) if your front wheels are on ramps.

[@danny0507]

The one thing I do different is that I keep the check plug on and add the 4 quarts. I then start the engine and cycle through the gears to allow some of the fluid to flow into the transmission. Then after, I remove the plug to drain any extra, that way I don't under fill.

[@toannhan5302]

[@sxb080511]

Very informative video, thanks for posting it. I see other comments about leveling the vehicle -- however, in my opinion what is drained gets refilled, then it should be fine if done quite frequently.

[@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS]

Thanks! Yes, there will be a very slight over/under fill situation except in an extreme slope situation... but I agree in most circumstances it would be almost negligible. However, I would have the check bolt out in as level a situation as possible just to be safe. :) thanks so much for watching! - luke

[@gotitdone]

I agree with @minutediyvideos response. If the car is not level, what you drain won't be the same as refilled. You could actually put more. If you measure what you put and put the exact amount you should be good, granted there was the correct amount to start with.

@@nordicpride9708 actually it’s not a problem . I’m in a shop and the vet 30 plus year in the game says it literally will not kill the tool. It’s doing the job it was suppose to do , apply torque.

[@nordicpride9708]

@@dAnnysixx1 What needs to be defined is the fact that this isn’t an “opinion”. A torque wrench isn’t designed by engineers to remove fasteners than have a great amount out torque repeatedly. I’m glad you have people doing something that seems to be not causing any issues for you. However it’s a fact that torque wrenches are precision tools primarily designed to TORQUE fasteners. Can they reverse, yes, however that’s not their intended design and it is bad practice. You won’t catch an engine builder like myself doing anything like that. It’s not advisable and again not just an old wives tale. If it works for you great, I’m happy.

[@derekw.5108]

Breaker bar and ratchet drive are designed to undo and redo bolts respectively. Only use torque wrench to do final tighten up so it will last as long as possible before calibration is needed! p.s. Calibration of torque wrench costs at least as much as a new cheap one! This is why most mechanics don't use them.

[@kevinabraham2029]

Hey, thanks for this super informative video! Definitely will be changing my Civic's CVT fluids on my own thanks to this :D. I wanted to ask you a question, though. When you start your Civic, after like 5 seconds or 10 seconds do you hear this semi-persistent kind of grinding noise? It's hard to describe, but it sounds kind of like a cricket chirping randomly.

[@andrewgeorge1809]

Very late to this one, but yes I also have that type of noise. I took it to the dealer and they said it was just the sound of the injectors and was normal.

[@peteprice3365]

Nice video. I just finished changing transmission fluid on my 2015 Fit. I use the same procedure except I jack the car up to drain the fluid, then lower it so it's level while it continues to drain. After 15 mins or so, I jack it back up to put drain plug in and torque. Then lower again to fill. I can reach the fill check with the car level on the ground. It's awkward, but reachable.

[@wyldeslash2003]

good idea on an oil change too! i made a video about it as well. i lower the car, then lift the front left of the car and maybe 2-3 ounces comes out!

[@Rrm-br5ku]

Did your transmission started slipping after that? How money miles did it have?

[@peteprice3365]

@@Rrm-br5ku No transmission problems at all with the FIT. We traded it in on a 2018 Certified Used FIT just because my wife drives a lot for work and we had the opportunity to trade to a lower mileage vehicle. We had about 150K on the 2015 FIT when we traded for the 2018 with 5K. I'll add that I followed the Maintenance Minder System for the transmission for the first interval. The first change was at about 60K. After that, I decided to do a transmission service every 30K miles. This is more conservative than the Maintenance Minder periodicity.

[@michaelwhite9288]

Great video. Too the point. Just one question. Did you change the CVT filter also?

[@chrisbaldwin5477]

once the oil starts to leak from the check hole do you tighten the bolt right away or let it finish leaking?

[@jonathanoconnor5123]

So, I was wondering if you knew the answer to this question... What are the parameters that Honda programs into its vehicles that govern how quickly or slowly the % oil life remaining ticks down. Is it just mileage or are there other things that are measured and recorded? I own a 2016 Civic coupe with a 2.0 and CVT. I put a lot of miles (40k per year) on it and they are mostly fairly smooth highway miles. Really nicely done video. Thank you.

[@ricardoguerra9411]

Great video, , heads up- if you have Civic on ramps , when draining the oil, some of the oil might drip along the plastic towards the rear of vehicle, about 18 inches from the drain opening. So you might want to have either a very large drain pan or 2 containers, to catch oil that runs away from the opening.

The one problem I see is that how can the car be level when you have it up on ramps? That's going to effect how much fluid you pour in before it runs out the check fluid level plug.

[@heatworkmusic3192]

When the car is level, should the fluid from the drain hole run dry, or should you hurry up and put the bolt back on while it’s leaking out? I’m afraid I may have put too much fluid or not enough because I had the car jacked up while checking last time.

[@dewaynewhite2928]

Spoke with his action, not with words, can't get any simpler than that!!

[@berticusmaximus8381]

Maintenance note: just forward and inboard of the fill cap is a rubber vent cap. It is easy to spot. Pull it off and clean the vent hole. I installed mine facing reward to keep from picking up sand. The hole will clog and the fill cap will pop out while driving. If you look in and see it laying there, this is what happened.

[@emukdog7]

Don’t you think you should have the vehicle on flat service rather then the front wheels up in the air? Would it make much of a difference?

[@BenSmith-cm8oc]

Yep....

My 2015 CRV AWD will take 4.5 qt. and I could not find a "check bolt/hole". Did mine at 35k and fluid was dark brown. Would not be able to see drain plug if dropped in oil. New fluid was very light yellow like cooking oil. Lifetime fluid my arse. Thanks for the video!

[@Steve-O_FPV]

Be sure the car is level on 4 jack stands (all wheels off the ground) to do this so you do not over fill the CVT. This is exactly the same as doing the fluid in my manual transmission on my 2008 Civic Si. I have changed my wife's 2015 Civic Ex CVT fluid before and it is not hard. Be sure to change out all the crush washers when you do this.
