Thank you! This video is pure gold!!! No other video has show detail like you have when it comes to taking off the air box!! Kudos to you and thank you!!
this isn't the correct way man, no shade. There is a 17mm bolt above the drain bolt, you need to bring the car up to temp 90-110f and open that bolt and let fluid come out. Slow drip and its perfect. This lets you know if its underfilled or overfilled. Too much, or not enough will ruin it. Also, word of advice for others, USE OEM TRANS fluid and POWER steering fluid for you HONDAS folks. Seriously. You think these guys just make up arbitrary fluid. SMH.
I use Aisin brand transmission fluid. Aisin makes those bulletproof transmissions for Toyota but makes fluid for other brands. Or at least put their name on it. They are not going to ruin their reputable name. I have used it on my Toyota, the Honda CR-V we had and my daughter’s Hyundai. No problems a few years later and there aren’t going to be any in the future. Tomorrow it goes in my other daughter’s Civic. We sold the CR-V with like 230,000 miles with the transmission just fine. Sorry, the Honda CR-V was Castrol that showed it was for the Honda regular transmission(non-CVT). Either way, both Aisin and Castrol are non-dealership OEM fluid and have done fine. They have laboratories and match the oil/fluid. That’s child’s play for those laboratories. I’ve NEVER had an issue. I buy Aisin from Rockauto.
The transmission filter is right below where you took your air filter box off .. where you see that white tag / sticker it's the box below it well not really a box but it's the metal cover that sticks out right below the sticker you take the three bolts out and in there is your transmission filter
The top filter near the air filter box is the red little filter, it is heat/cool exchange transmission filter. The actual transmission filter is sitting in the transmission oil pan where this gentleman draining the transmission fluid. Unscrew the oil pan and you will see a black color filter that has two screws securing it. Please get a new transmission oil pan gasket when replacing the transmission filter and the o-rings for the exchange filter and the other two o-rings where that plate is when you taking it off to replace the exchange filter. I do transmission fluid, transmission filter, and exchange filter, o-rings, gasket, every 30,000km. It’s a CVT. Cleaner the oil, the better. I usually get 6-7 bottles from the Honda dealer and parts from Honda dealer. Some parts need special order, transmission filter. They will say you don’t need to replace it. You have to. To protect the transmission. Cheap and easy to maintain but expensive to replace the whole transmission gear box. Don’t forget to clean the oil pan will some brake clean and wipe it with clean microfibre towel and clean the two magnets in the oil pan as well. Use screw driver gentle pry them out and clean them and the drain plug as well.
I do none of that bro. I use the pump siphon hose and pump the fluid directly to the leveler. Once its start to spit out. I know its leveled or getting leveled. Way faster. shift gears first then drain, let the fluid criculate thru the trany then see if you needs more fluid
@@WackyPossum yes. Buy a siphon hand pump, then feed the hose inside the leveler. Keep adding fluid umtil it starts to come out. Wait for a bit until u get a light stream then put on the plug bolt.
@@ZeroPlanet_ the amount you spent on the HCF-2 fluid ($53.something) is pretty much the same amount I spent, and I live in Indianapolis, so it may be a Honda pricing deal. FYI.
Pete D: Would you please do a video on this procedure? I have searched for this method as I have FOUR 10th gen 2.0l civics in my family and would love to be able to do this. Thanks!!
I believe there are 2. The one mentioned above. Also another one in the pan, where those bolts that near the drain bolt. Usually at 100k people will empty that pan and replace the big filter, small transmission filter is at 50k
Bought a Honda civic 2016 with 90,000 miles on it. I have no idea if the fluids ever been changed. Should I change it? Or, Is it too late to change it?
Lol no such thing as to late to change, my rule of thumb every time I buy a used car I change the fluids even if the previous owner/dealer says that they have been changed.
@@ZeroPlanet_ Okay thanks for the response. I asked because people say changing the fluid in a car that hasn’t had it done ever could make it run worse and slip etc.
@@Josifer4GAppFire hey man did you end up doing it? Mines at 44k and idk if it’s been serviced but from what I heard since it’s a cvt the rule of damaging the transmission if it’s past overdue doesn’t apply.
@BlueStrike2297 44k is still really early, go ahead and change it without worrying. You're supposed to change it about every 40k miles so you're barely over. When they say it's too late to change transmission fluid were talking about 100k or more. Also that was more of a thing with traditional automatic transmissions rather than cvt. Also check the drain plug magnet for metal and wipe it off (it wasn't in the video). And make sure you warm up the tranny fluid to 90-100 degrees before you start the fluid change (also not in video). BTW if you regret draining the fluid, you can just pour the old fluid back in, if for some reason after draining you decide against using new fluid. And find a video that shows how to change the filter too. It's easy, it's next to the fill up hole under air filter.
@@Josifer4GAppFire that's a myth, and has nothing to do with modern cars. That comes from regular automatics from back in the 70's 80's and 90's. CVT also works completely differently. Changing your fluids is the best thing you can do for your car. Do a double drain and fill since you're at 90k. Do the 2 filters as well. Probably time for brake fluid change, and coolant change as well.
Hello 👍👍👍👍👍👍when you put reverse does it go in instantly? I have a 2016 and it takes 1 or 1.5 seconds to put it in reverse, is it normal? I mean I start the car and I put R after 1 second it walks👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
The black valve from where you filled fluid gets out itself after driving for few days in my honda civic automatic transmission. Why does it happen and does it cause any issue? Thanks!
There are 2 filters. One filter is right next to the fill hole and is pretty small. There’s another filter and you have to drop the pan to change it. Do not neglect either of these filters. Also, don’t use that junk Honda CVT fluid. It’s non synthetic. Use Amsoil 100% synthetic CVT fluid. You’re welcome.
@@ZeroPlanet_ you were wondering what the cost was of the HCF-2 fluid in other parts of the country? I have a ‘16 Honda Civic, and live in Indianapolis. When I did my drain and fill last summer, it totaled up to approx. $54 for 4 quarts, so not different from what you paid. FYI.
@@jrsanti When you can't take a joke and make a serious statement like that, I highly doubt you have any confidence let-alone self respect for yourself lol.

Nice, you saved me from having to sit through it to find out if anyone videos taking the airbox out and making the fill hole visible

Flush is much better as gets all contaminated CVT fluid out. Humble opinion. Just did mine in 2015. Civic exl.
I priced out 4 qrts Saturday at Honda. They wanted $86!!! I was like um...no thanks.

Is it ok 👌 to not replace itM

Thanks for info bro
Do you check the fluid level hot ? im assuming so
I get the car to operating temp and let it sit for a bit
Bruh how did you unscrew the first nut that's deep in the car? I can't get it out 😭 I've been struggling for a while now.
I do none of that bro. I use the pump siphon hose and pump the fluid directly to the leveler. Once its start to spit out. I know its leveled or getting leveled. Way faster. shift gears first then drain, let the fluid criculate thru the trany then see if you needs more fluid
That’s another great way of doing it! I personally found this way easier and not needing to buy more tools
How do I do this I have a 2016 2.0L can I fill it through the cvt check bolt from underneath?
@@WackyPossum yes. Buy a siphon hand pump, then feed the hose inside the leveler. Keep adding fluid umtil it starts to come out. Wait for a bit until u get a light stream then put on the plug bolt.

Is there a filter you have to change on the automatic transmission of a 2018 Honda civic
There is a transmission filter on the 2018 Honda Civic it’s underneath the air filter housing box

It’s normal should take a sec to go into gear. The car isn’t a dual clutch that’s faster at changing gears

replace it. could fall off and spill bits of fluid here and there, over time it will be alot.
@juniorgonzalez48322 I always tell people to clean that, and face it to your right facing the engine.
Ok for cvt to have a small whine sound on S-drive?
My 18 with 45k does this as well in Sport mode.

Im thinking about using Amsoil CVT but can it mix with Honda CVT since you cant drain the whole oil out ?
@@name741 You should be able to drain it all out. Switching over to Amsoil CVT is the best thing you can do and changing the filters.
Thanx for educating us. Just wanted to know that when do we need ro replace these filters? After how many miles?
Do you know where i can get replacement for those black push caps that holds the plastic cover?
You’re able to go to your local parts store or the dealership, but you will pay more at the dealership.

I payed 75 dollas for 5 cvt transmission fluid
One like from my second account 😅
Paid 81 bucks for 4 quarts at Boardwalk Honda in NJ.
😵😵
There's two filters. Honda just never changes them. Ive worked at Honda twice and they just don't do the filters on the civics or accords.
