Great video, I took mine to the dealer and found the fill plug laying in the engine compartment after I got it back from them. I'm going to have to see how badly they messed it up...never again :(
Geez that is very unfortunate when you go to the shop you expect the professional to do it properly and that happens! That is another reason why I like to whatever I can myself as I have that same problems like that in the past. I hope everything works out and the transmission is okay! Thank you for the comment
Now you understand how many idiots are hired for Tech work at dealerships. They're not that bright, but they carry-on as if they have a Ph.D. in carology :-)
Thanks for that! My dealer charges €200 for CVT fluid change, I think that's ok, considering how much work it is to do. Plus I don't even own a garage or a place were it's legal to do a oil change. But great video
I completely understand not having a garage will make it difficult. I enjoy working on my car and know when I preform the service its with care and not rushed! Thank you for the comment brother!
@@sleekauto6008 : I wasn’t sure, but it worked out just fine using the full plug hole to fill - did it couple of days ago. We do need small enough hose to insert it in and deep funnel.
Thank you for the comment! I really appreciate it, The crush washer for the CVT Transmission check bolt is a 18 mm crush washer. That is what I received from the dealer when buying fluids.
Hii i need your help, my 2016 Civic 1.5 cvt has problem on the ctv transmission, i have other transmission from a 2017 civic 2.0 naturally aspirated, they have the same CVT transmission?
Thank you for the comment, I don't want to give wrong information. If I were you I would call Hondas service center and ask about the specification of both transmission and see if they are the same specs. I would think they would but you never know if there is a slight tweak in the design preventing a smooth fitment.
4.8L came out of the CVT drain plug, what next? Does CVT transmission oil expand in volume if it is old and dirty? My 2017 civic now has 190K km on it, and bought it used with 30K km on the odometer. First CVT oil swap I'm doing and think I may had my car slanted forward as when I drained the oil, 4.8 litres came out. Manual says to drain and refil with 3.5L. Can I just drain and fill the same amount which came out? Now I only have 4 litres to refil the car with. Do I simply use the 4 litre and add 0.8L of the old oil I've taken out? I don't know if the old dirty oil expands in volume. And I'm hesitant to use the check bolt if indeed the CVT volume expands or the car is not leveled properly. What do you think? Cheers, Rev
Quick question? When you are about to add the final quart of the trans fluid what should you be looking for when paying attention to the check bolt? Should the fluid start leaking from the bolt and your good or how can you tell your good to go?
Yes, when add the last quart keep an eye on the check bolt. Once the trans is full the excess will leak out so it doesn't over fill. So once you see fluid leaking that's when you have successfully filled the trans fluid.
I appreciate the information, I had another comment explaining the same process. I was doing the process per owners manual but ill give the pump a try, should save some time! Thank you for the comment!
That is not a flush, that's just a fluid change. In flush you you run your engine to swap out ALL of the CVT fluid with new one. The drain method only lets out 25-30%, if you drop the pan then 50-60%, flush swaps out 100% fluid. Other than that, nicely explained.
@@sleekauto6008 all good. I was looking for it to get the torgue otherwise I wouldn't have noticed. With people following GPS right into hazards, you never know. It is a great video though
thanks very much to show this video. learn right away

Nice video, To save a little work I just pump the new fluid into the check bolt opening. Eliminating removing anything under the hood.
Nice that is a great idea thank you for the knowledge man!
Thanks alot for the detailed video, I was able to take off all my parts and will be changing my transmission fluid tomorrow. Much appreciated!
Glad the video was helpful! Thank you!
Great video. I prefer to DIY too, it’s not difficult and you know its done right. Also, I secure the fill plug with a zip tie.
Haha you understand the mind set then! Appreciate the comment brother!
I'm at 22,000 on my 19 1.5t coupe. Doing the fluid and filter now.
Awesome its good to keep up with the fluid and make sure its fresh! Thank you for the comment brother.
Good knowledge man thank you for the video
Thank you man
Super clear content sir. Thank you so much ☺️

Super details! Great job
Thank you!!
Thanks bro I have a 2018 Honda Civic same color
I'm happy the video helped! Thank you for the comment!
This video helped me out lot!!!
Thank you!
Thank you for the video man helps a lot!!!
I appreciate it bro
Love your videos!!!
Thank you!! I appreciate it!
Very good information!
Happy to help!
Thanks for the informative video. Can we just use the check bolt to fill it back up?
Yes that is another way to fill up, makes it easier if you have a little hose that can fit on a funnel.
@@sleekauto6008 : I wasn’t sure, but it worked out just fine using the full plug hole to fill - did it couple of days ago. We do need small enough hose to insert it in and deep funnel.
Can you do a video on the transmission filter too
Will do, thank you for the comment brother.
Good knowledge
Happy to help!
Do you check oil levels via check bold when engine is hot or cold or warm? Read CVT oil expands 10% when hot.
Nice video!!
Thank you for the feed back!
Great video
Thanks Bro!
Can I just fill back the same amount of HCF2 which came out of the darin plug?
I have a 2024 civic sport hatch with the 2.0. I'm thinking of doing the oil change at 1k, when should I do the Trany?
I try not to push more then 30 to 40 thousand miles before changing. If you wanted to really be on top of it, ever 20 thousand change the fluid.
Excellent video. Thanks for doing this. Question: does the check bolt have its own crush washer ...what size?

I did mine like 30 mins no need to take out all that stuff and all I just pump 4 quarts of fluids in the check bolt that it that waste of time
