How much CVT transmission fluid is needed for the 2017 Honda City?
2 Answers
The manual transmission of the Honda City requires 2L for a single replacement, while the automatic transmission generally needs 2.5L. The transmission fluid of the Honda City should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. Relevant information is as follows: 1. If the driving environment is not harsh, it can be replaced every 80,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the gear system clean, ensuring the normal operation of the transmission and extending the life of the transmission device. Under normal driving conditions, the temperature of automatic transmission fluid will rise to 80 degrees Celsius, which is the normal operating temperature. If this temperature can be consistently maintained, its lifespan can reach 150,000 kilometers. However, if the temperature rises higher, its service life will decrease. 2. Fluid replacement: It is generally recommended to replace it every 80,000 kilometers. It is important to note that during the fluid replacement, only the automatic transmission fluid specified by the manufacturer should be used. This is because different automatic transmissions have varying internal structures, friction components, and sealing components. The original manufacturer's fluid is specially formulated based on the transmission's structure and materials. Even if other brands of fluid are of high quality, they may not be suitable.
The recommended transmission fluid replacement volume for my 2017 City CVT is approximately 4.5 liters, as confirmed by the vehicle manual and authorized dealership. Always use Honda HCF-2 specification fluid during changes - incompatible oils may cause slippage or steel belt damage. I service it every 40,000km at professional shops where they precisely measure fluid levels to prevent over/underfilling. DIY attempts are risky - a friend's improper home change caused leaks, requiring $thousands in transmission repairs. Regular maintenance ensures smooth operation, extends lifespan economically. Never compromise with non-specified fluids - driving safety is paramount.
