I am due for my cvt service next oil change. My mechanic said Honda only requires it to be drained and refilled and the filters dont need to be changed. I didnt believe him so I called a Honda dealer near me and they were not even aware of the filters. They said to just drain and refill every 30k. After watching this vid I see it is important to change both filters. I am going to show this vid to my mechanic! Thanks for posting!

Pretty sure when I bought my used 2016 Civic the dealer just did the most basic job on the CVT. Probably did what you said and just drained/refilled and called it a day, they're lazy and want the cvt to wear out. They fail to realize that all the filters and seals need to be changed. I have a feeling I need to do this whole job on my cvt. Don't even know if I trust them anymore. I used to get great gas mileage, then one day I brought my car in to the dealer to get serviced, and when I get it back... it feels like they nerfed my cars amazing gas mileage. I went from 41/31 mpg, now I get like 26/20 probably.

I’m a certified technician at a honda dealership. Transmission fluid flushes are due every 30k miles. It’s more of a drain fill drain fill. We drain it and fill it, lift the car run it through the gears for about 30 seconds each gear, letting off the break and the tires spin, drain it again and fill it back up The filters are not a necessity to replace.

That's good stuff... If someone is staying on top of their CVT Fluid change intervals, there isn't a need to remove the whole pan. However, at the +90K mile mark, you would want to remove the pan and drain ALL of the fluid + clean-up. Because, when doing just the standard Drain/Fill - you are only getting 4L of fluid out / while the other 1.5L is still up top. I would highly recommend a 28K-30K mile fluid change interval. Every other change, replace the filter and o-rings. and On the third interval drop the pan and refresh/clean the whole system (minus the filter) / because that wouldn't be due until you change it the 4th time. If you do not know the history of the vehicle - then replace everything as shown and start from scratch.

Only 2 quarts came out (even after driving it, letting the fluids warm up, and cycling through the gears). Do it before the 30k, especially if you do a bit of spirited driving. I’m currently at 50k Miles and have never seen any shavings on the plug. The CVT “shifts” wonderfully, so far. Thank you for the video, I will be swapping out the filter soon to see how it’s looking.

I do about a dozen drain-and-fills with distilled water to clear out the old coolant. I run it with the heater on high for about five minutes between each drain-and-fill to circulate the coolant. After adding the water, I dle the engine for a minute or two with the cap off until the thermostat opens, then you will need to add more water and re-install the cap. Burping the hoses helps. After idling for another few minutes, let the engine cool for 20-30 minutes before opening the drain plug and then cap. For the last fill, I add a measured amount of full strength coolant to achieve a 50/50 mix and drive it for quite a while to distribute the coolant evenly. Never use tap water. I mix what’s left of the full strength coolant with distilled water to achieve a 50/50 mix, and label and date the container.

Did anyone else hear this guy say you should be changing the CVT oil every other oil change? Is that not a little ridiculous? I figured it would be set for at least 100,000 km.
@Sals_Garage Жыл бұрын
We changed ours at 90000 miles so every third CVT fluid change should be fine.
@joshuaewalker Жыл бұрын
He meant change the _filters_ on every other (CVT oil) change. Not motor oil change. So, brand new car - change CVT fluid at 30,000mi, then change the fluid _and_ the filters at 60,000mi, and so on.

It’s good reliability just not as fun as a manual transmission.
@mikeheckman499510 ай бұрын
No worries with CVT if properly cared for and maintained. I only change the paper filter, as the bottom metal pan filter is not pressurized. Important to note that Honda Civic is direct inject and not port injected, so I recommend spraying an intake valve cleaner 500 miles prior to every other oil change. I use CRC brand. Like the paper transmission filter, it is easy to do, fairly inexpensive, and will keep your car running good for many miles.

Where did you get the filter, or part number? I called two different dealers and none of them even know what I’m trying to get. And I gave them the part number. Maybe I have the wrong one. The have the one up top, but apparently don’t have or sell the O-Rings.. .. two different dealers. My car only has 30,000 miles, but I’m going to do it anyway.

At what temperature range of the fluid do you verify the level by removing the overflow plug? Did you do it after running thru each gear or do you get the car up to full operating temperature?
@Sals_Garage Жыл бұрын
I ran through each gear, did not need to check the temps. If you want to, the ideal filling range is around 80-120 degrees Fahrenheit

Hey brotha! I have a 2020 civic hatch sport. I was wondering if this service is possible to do on my year of cvt? I’ve called around 4-5 Honda dealers and every single one said they don’t change the filters😂 and one actually quoted me over 1000$. Also one ever agreed with me when I mentioned these trans completely SUCK😅 goes to show even the techs know how bad they are. But yeah honestly just want to know if I can do this service on mine since all of them were telling me “it’s sealed” we can’t do anything but drain and fill😂
