How are these transmissiom are they reliable i just got a 23 accord i do have to say tho i love the cvt smooth you dont feel any gears just speed gauge going up 🔥💯
Why do I see other videos that dont have the small level check bolt like the one in this video?
If i put 3.9l (4.1quarts) instead of 3.7l (3.9 quarts) is it going to be a problem ? 1.5t hatchback CVT 2018
THANKS IN ADVANCE
show us a video of the transmission filter replacement, other than that very informative and simple way to replace it.
I found that 4 quarts is almost exactly the correct amount of fluid. Jack up the back of the car, then drain the old fluid. Replace the drain plug. Lower the car. Fill the trany with all 4 quarts. Done! Don't over think it. A couple ounces of extra fluid isn't detrimental. Changing the CVT oil is easier than changing the engine oil.
Does it come with the magnetic plug or was that added on?
Saved me $200+ .
First time i changed the the fluid, i had the dealership do it… a little less than $300 is what they charged😅
All together doing it your self I spent about $50 and only used 3 bottles
For the very first change that I did at 31.5K Miles, I measured how much came out from the factory exactly. I use the Amsoil Synthetic 100% CVT fluid. Honda stuff is always great to use but it is semi-synthetic and that is where you get that "Gunk" from on the drain plug. I changed the trans fluid again at 57K, a bit early since I had access to a lift and it was still super clear.
Replace both CVT filters as well! https://youtu.be/CI7mK6rZDTA
