CVT Fluid Replacement

CVT Fluid Replacement

NOTE: Keep all foreign particles out of the transmission.

1. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
2. Park the vehicle on level ground, and turn the engine off.
3. Remove the clips and the bolts securing the front of the undercover, then open the undercover.





4. Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the CVT fluid (CVTF). Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer (B).





5. Refill the transmission with the recommended fluid through the dipstick tube opening (A) to bring it to the upper mark on the dipstick. Always use Honda CVT fluid (CVTF). Using a non-Honda CVTF can affect shift quality.





6. Check that the CVT fluid level is between the upper mark (A) and the lower mark (B) on the COLD level (C).





7. Insert the dipstick back into the tube with the dot on the handle facing to the left side of the vehicle.
8. Check the CVT fluid level.
9. Install the undercover.
