How often should Honda CVT transmission fluid be changed?
1 Answers
Honda CVT transmission fluid should be changed approximately every 2 years or 40,000-60,000 kilometers. It is essential to use the manufacturer-recommended CVT-specific transmission fluid, as different transmissions have varying internal structures, friction components, sealing elements, etc., and thus require different types of transmission fluid. Transmission fluid replacement intervals: Replacement cycles vary by vehicle model. Manual transmission fluid is generally recommended for replacement every 3 years or around 100,000 kilometers; automatic transmission fluid is typically advised for replacement every 2 years or approximately 40,000 kilometers; continuously variable transmission (CVT) fluid is usually suggested for replacement every 2 years or about 60,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid replacement methods: 1. Drain the fluid by loosening the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission and then refill it. 2. Remove the transmission oil pan directly for draining and refilling—this method is more thorough than the first, as it allows removal of sediment from the oil pan. 3. Use an intelligent circulation machine for dynamic fluid exchange, which filters and cleans sludge and impurities from the automatic transmission through a circulating process.
