I rate this video a 12/10 ! Transmission fluid change no jack or stands. Gonna do my first transmission oil change tomorrow ! This video has helped a lot
Just a pro tip, always remove the fill plug first
but then the fluid comes out with a vengeance? No?
Awesome thanks. I’m about to do my wife’s first cvt change at 25K to hopefully prevent future problems. Finally found a Service Manaus pdf. Didn’t know about that fill plug up top, everywhere I see says use a fluid pump and fill it from the top bolt hole. Thanks!
Not sure about the newer HRV’s, but up to 2018 should have the plug in the top. Glad I could help!
Thank you for posting this! Your channel has helped me out so much on servicing my HRV.
Sweet! You're very welcome. That's what this channel is all about.
Had a 2015 Civic with CVT. Honda did all the service but never changed transmission oil. At 115,000 miles, transmission failed. Repair estimate was $8200. Replaced the car, but not with a Honda. Also have a 2018 HRV. Much wiser about these CVT deals. Appreciate the video. Off to get the parts to perform the fluid change.
they say its lifetime fluid/non serviceable...smh guess they should change that... lol
Damn, that fluid looks super clean.
Anthony Gonzalez that was about half original fluid, half Amsoil. I’m very happy with how little debris was on the magnet.
I just had a recall on my wife's 2016 HR-V with CVT and not only is all well, Honda has extended the transmission's warranty to 150K miles or 7 years. There is a procedure for checking for metal filings in the transmission sump with an external magnet plus upgrading the software. The whole procedure only took about 45 minutes because no problems were found. My dealership has found no bad transmissions, so far. I'm happy.
where did you get notified? my wife has one as well and I haven’t seen anything about it. curious to see if i’m missing something haha
This is the perfect video! Just changed the fluid on my daughter's HRV. It looked pretty clean at 47000 miles. That stuff' is messy! It tends to splatter everywhere when draining. I drained it for about 1 or 2 hours, and I got exactly 5 quarts out. (It just filled a 5 quart engine oil jug,) So I put back in 5 quarts of Honda CVT2 fluid. I then started the car, selected all of 'PRNDL' positions, turned it off and let it sit for about 10 minutes. I then checked the fluid level and it was right on! I then about 1 teaspoon drained out!
I wouldn't even open the filler bolt if you put back exactly what drained out, and you used the right fluid not like this guy. I'm more curious about Honda saying you have to re-map the transmission from the sound this guy heard.
.
Great video but I'm still sticking with OEM fluids. I learned the hard way years ago.
Absolutely! Really wasn’t meant to be an Amsoil ad. Lol
@@jstinsley I’m with you on that! Oem cvt & diff fuilds only it’s formulated for Honda vehicles
While I have heard great things about amsoil, I will also stick with the oem fluid
Thank you so much for your videos! I caught your rear diff vid too... very informative. Rhonda will live very happy life.
P.S. I look forward to your next CVT fluid change with the filters.
This is what it's all about! Thank you sooo much for sharing!
Your lucky, because im HarvyTheWandere's son. Your gunna be the only one who gets this message, because i picked randomly. Good job :D
Good vid mate, thanks. Handy as I don't have stands etc anymore, so good to see I can do without them.
Thank u for taking time to film this service i am looking to perform this as my mm code No 3 comes on .As of 45k miles it has not come on but i am about to do this every 30k afterward since is so easy to do.
mohammad tz Thanks for the feedback. This is exactly why I made it.
Great vídeo man, thanks for uploading, u didnt change the filter. Thanks!
Thank you for translating into Thai I'm from Thailand
Thanks a lot for for this detailed video!
lbtalex np!
Thank you brother Harvey for sharing this !.
I wish you would do more videos on Harvey, how's he doing any updates etc. I love them but I have to disagree about using non-Honda fluids. On the packaging they may look better but with Honda you don't have to worry. All the additives are tailored to the specific type of systems in Honda vehicles. Not saying it will for sure, but it's possible that using another brand could cause premature wear to internal moving parts, O-rings, and gaskets. But I'm a Honda fanboy, I love using all Honda stuff lol.
Tori looks like a cool gal. Oh and can you drop a morning routine please
I'm working on it. Should be out soon!
Excellent video sir 👍!!!!!
Easy on the tightness of the full and drain bolts people aluminum. Check torque values.

Just bought one of these new for the wife great little cars especially with lifetime powertrain warranty
Wait. Lifetime power train warranty?!?! How did you pull that off?!
@@jstinsley yep Roper Honda here in Missouri does it on all their new cars it obviously doesn't cover everything just your engine and transmission
Lifetime powertrain warranty from the dealer has some hidden requirements like regularly servicing your vehicle at recommended intervals at their dealership
Man u wasting you $ that fluid still look good man
I enjoyed your CVT fluid change video. My wife and I are seriously considering an HR-V for her next car. My biggest concern in the HR-V is the CVT transmission. A CVT transmission has a lot of sliding parts that require good clean lubrication to give a long service life. The CVT is the primary reason we are not buying out the lease on her 2018 Outback. Subaru does not have a scheduled maintenance on the CVT other than inspection (probably just for leaks). The fluid is considered “lifetime” and the transmission is sealed. From what I understand, some dealers are very reluctant to change the fluid upon customer request. No fluid is lifetime. I am looking forward to seeing you change the filter located inside the bottom pan of the HR-V. Subaru has a SMALL cylindrical filter only accessible by cracking the transmission case in half...in other words NOT serviceable before a complete overhaul. I clicked your subscribe button. Thanks.
This car is VERY serviceable. I now have 63k on it which is getting in the range that the 2016’s seemed to have CVT issues. Hopefully my aggressive service schedule will pay off!
@@jstinsley hopefully so. CVT’s scare me due to the inherent design. Too many sliding parts that require a good lubricant. At least Honda has a maintenance schedule and provide for replaceable filters. I am afraid to say that I think we are passing on the HR-V due to the CVT transmission and going with a Mazda CX-30 which has a conventional torque converter 6 speed automatic. Thank you for your reply.
@jstinsley what about the replaceable filter and screen in the fluid pan , have you replaced those yet?
@@danpettis1675, nope no longer own the car. It was leased so we could try it out without obligation. It left at the end of the lease. We now have a 2024 Honda Ridgeline.
Hey Harvey,
Great video!
Btw....did you also say something about a 20mm washer?
I thought it was just a 18mm washer?
Let me know at your convenience.
Thx 😊
Good job👍👍👍👍👍
Hola debería de poner sub títulos para los que no sabemos inglés muchas gracias por compartir sus conocimientos
I always wonder how much money you save with a cvt. You save some gas mileage but then you spend it all on the fluid and crush washers. I don’t know. Thanks for the video. I’m gonna do my wife’s at 30k.
I get it. Just went over 100k. Still getting 30mpg. I’m happy.😁
Where is the vent cap on this trans? My fill plug pops out from time to time and spits trans fluid out and Honda says it’s cause by the vent cap being clogged with debris. I just can’t find it and suggestions?
If you look down in the comments some actually put a link to it. It’s like the third or forth from the start.
Thank you Harvey I how you pin point the exact locations
Just changed out mine @45000 miles for the first time lol
Nice! How did the fluid look?
I have a 2016 HRV LX 2WD and wonder if there is a transmission fluid filter needed to be replaced. Just can't find anything from the service manual.
I haven’t changed them yet but there is one in the pan and one behind the fluid warmer. I’m almost at 60k and I will change them and make a video at 75k.
@@jstinsley Thanks. Looking forward to it.
Any update with the trans filter change and what you would recommend?
Guys can probably do this, not sure if ladies can.
I'd do it myself but don't know how to use a torque rench. The funny thing is I own one just dont know how to use it..
I try to show myself setting mine each time I use it in the videos. It’s pretty easy.
You set it at a torque rating then tighten till it either pops it beeps if it's electronic they help a lot with all kinds of jobs
I did it and it’s making a noise when driving what do I do
I did the same process and was only able to get 3.5 quarts in total. I wonder why you mange 1.5 quarts more
How do you know when your fluid needs to be changed
When the maintenance minder code 3 comes up. The manual tells you to change it every 25k if you live in mountainous low speed type areas. I do mine every 25k and I live in Florida. It really is as easy as changing the oil.
All this is covered up for aerodynamics on our facelift hrv gonna be more of a chore taking off all the covers then the actual fluid change
Can you buy the cvt fluid from Walmart and what type?
I order mine directly from amsoil. You can get the Honda fluid from your nearest dealer or probably Amazon.
My 2017 HRV only took about 3 and a half quarts before it started dripping out the overflow hole. Any advice
The 2020 HRV Owners Manual (available online for free) says 3.5 L or 3.7 US quarts for the 2WD HRV and 4.0 L or 4.2 US quarts for the 4WD HRV
Thanks for the video. What about the transmission oil filter? Does Is not bad if you don't change the filter?
I’m planning on changing them at the 100k mark. Vid to come.
@@jstinsley Hello Harvey. Have you changed the filter?
i would love to use AMS, but will it void the warranty? this part has me confused.
It might void it. If you use the Honda Genuine HCF-2 you should be alright though. Keep records. This is my first automatic, and I was scared to mess things up, but this video was an awesome resource. (Harvey's rear diff vid (AWD) was great too. I've changed that too, with the Dual Pump II per Harvey, without incident.)
My experience (YMMV): I did my car's first CVT change last fall at 34k (did not do 'break-in' change... didn't know it was a 'thing'), and more than 6 qts came out. Factory overfill? When I refilled, I filled it to the overfill point (took 5.5qt), closed it all up, did the gear cycle and reopened the overfill plug, and there was still a signifigant drip. Even so, I put the last 1/2qt in.
It's been 11k and everything seems nominal. There was a little but not crazy debris on the plug when I changed it. Wiped right off. I did not change the filter. Next time, I definitely will.
how many liter do this hrv need?
I put 5 qts which is 4.7L. I would definitely fill until it drains out the fill level hole though.
I just got a 2016 HRV that used to be my moms car. It has 107,000 miles and I’m not sure if the transmission fluid has ever been changed. Any advice?
If it were mine I’d change it. 5 qts of Hondas fluid and a couple crush washers. Less than $100 if you do it yourself. Easy peasy!
Who’s that good lookin red head????
Some reaaaaaaally back woods Florida country girl I think. Craaayeb laaaaygs.
Hi Harvey, thx for this vid. When checking fluid level, you can do it with the engine off, right? Also, you never re-nappes your tranny and had no issues after changing fluid? Thx again.
**re-mapped
About 2 months ago I sent it to the dealer for the fuel pump recall. While it was there they re-mapped the transmission. I can’t tell a difference but who knows. I do check it with the engine off but hot. Harvey has 107k (172k km) miles on him now and still going strong!
Very nice and thank you again! Mine has 151k km and also runs well. I’ve always taken the cvt fluid changes to an Acura dealer I trust, but I don’t think they do the tranny re-map. I will also need to look up this fuel pump recall, we don’t get the same good treatment in Canada as American Honda customers do.
Do you have to change the cvt filter?
Is Amsoil cvt runs smoother than Honda oem hcf2 ?
Any idea how to reset the sub code after changing the fluid?
Just reset the maintenance minder.
What would you say the life of the cvt is going to be on average?
Tommaso82 No idea really. I only know that there have been a lot of issues in prior years with them. It is such an easy job that I don’t want any failure to be because I didn’t do it. It really is that easy and I did it without ramps or jack stands in this video. Good luck!
Well my Honda Fit CVT just hit 100k miles and shifts like new.
I change the fluid every 20k since it’s cheaper than a new transmission.
Our HRV is at 50k miles and it’s the same no issues.
And I do the rear differential on the HRV every 10-15k just to be safe.
Oil every 5k on both.
The HRV and Fit haven’t given me any engine or transmission issues yet.
Your son has beautiful red hair lol
im the son LOL
also that was my sister
How many quarts it takes?
What size crush washers are needed.... making sure I order correct size?
There’s a link in the description. I believe that is the Honda part number also.
Would this work on awd 2016 hrv ?
My manual is for a 2016 and it looks pretty much the same. I don’t think they changed much in the first 3 model years (2016, 17, &18).
@@jstinsley thank you, I did get off my ass and checked the vehicle out and all the painted yellow bolts checked out on my wife’s 2016 hrv so thank you again for doing that extra step for us.
No problem.
How many miles did you do this at? My 17’ has 67 almost 68k it’s time lol
I do mine every 25k. That’s just me though. You probably don’t need to do it that much unless you qualify for the excessive wear stuff in the manual.
@@jstinsley I was also wondering if it’s possible to do this without a torque wrench? Same question for any of the services youve done on this car? Thanks!
You should do every 30,000 miles but Harvey played safe at 25,000 miles.
It was paint in the butt to open up the drain plug
That first time was a pain but it’s was easier for me the second time.
Need to loose it when the transmission is cold - easy to remove
Great video, may have saved my CVT, due to the filler port plug having popped out. If I may suggest a couple of other things to look at when doing this change, firstly the breather cap, check to see that this not blocked or getting blocked (see static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10165374-0001.pdf). Secondly, the CVT filter, I am replacing mine due to the plug popped issue, but I would suggest doing this every time you replace the fluid (what do you think?).
I have been thinking about the filter a lot actually and will probably do that on the next fluid change. If it is easy (it looks like it is) I will probably start doing it every change. As far as the vent cap, this is the first I've heard of it but I will definitely check it next time. Thanks for that info! That is something I will stay on top of.
@@jstinsley OK so replaced the fluid and cleaned the breather cap. Fairly simple. Was trying to do the filter change, but need to take out the battery holder, and what ever the black plastic box is which also feeds air to the air intake. Needs a bit more investigating (and a video from you !!!).
@@stevetaylor9021 as soon as I get a minute of free time I'm going to check that breather cap on mine. I'll make a video for it. I'm going to replace the filters at the next fluid change. I think that video will be a little late though. lol Let me know how the filter change comes out.
I will do 2018 HRV next
"Honda nazis" Lol!!
Hi there. Does Honda hr v cvt transmission come with filter? If yes where is it?
Yes. There is one in the pan and one behind the fluid warmer. The next time I change the cvt fluid I am going to change them and make a video.
FYI if you go buy them, Honda calls them strainers.
@@jstinsley thanks. I have 2017-2w lx canadian model with 73000 I never changed the transmission oil because is it still on warranty and I guess they call the service at 90000. It looks to me too much far away especially because sometimes when I switch from neutral to reverse and even in drive mode I full a little kick . So should I change the filters too?
@@enrico5232 I plan on changing mine the next time I change the fluid (that will be at 75K Miles). At that point, I'll look at them and decide how often I want to change them going forward.
Thanks for this video i was wondering what there was to it. 👍
