@mikeroberts308 seriously don't replace your transmission oil at honda if it's not brand new and changed regularly. They'll ignore it unless you ask them to do it. I know this because I checked their PC database for mine
Do These have a transmission oil filter? My Honda is a Civic Tourer 1.6 idtec Diesel, I changed my transmission fluid at 100 thou and couldnt find anything on filter to be changed? I should have probably contacted the dealer
So as a 76 year old lady, I'm not gonna be changing my trans fluid. But i don't imagine my mechanic will look kindly on me if i warn him not to overfill it!
Thanks…. Interestingly, as a 77 year young “ guy”: I had my Point S “ Mechanics” do only , replace “”Trans fluid & Screen”.. “”And, “”they”” did re-Check to see if I wanted a COMPLETE AUTOMATIC TRANNY Flush..No problem, I actually mentioned “ SCOTTY. says , no FLUSHING , GENERALLY!! Interestingly, the MOPAR **GASKET , failed (**?) to seal:: Mech@nic , had to use a “” Loctite Special Red Silicone(*?)Transmission Gasket…
I had a 2011 civic 1.8 auto for 8 years and recently passed it to our niece. The civic has almost 300k miles original engine and transmission. Run and drives great. Easy to work on. I have changed transmission fluid at every 30k miles since 60k miles on the odometer. I have towed small trailer with it several times. Changes oil/filter at every 5k mile Engine doesn't burn single drop of oil. Interior and exterior is still all original and in great shape. Honda really nailed it with 8th gen civic.
NICE! Got 2, 05 civics. Auto has 244k miles orginal drivetrain & 5 speed with orginal trans, replaced motor. No issues with either except had replace clutch little often. Trans is old & tired, so I try not to do any crazy pulls unless I need to get zippy onto highway, haha.
Found a twenty twelve honda Civic for my daughter. She absolutely loves the thing she drives it to and from work every day and spends a lot of time. Either parked or driving it very reliable and I highly recommend that generation. Of civics to anyone who wants small reliable transportation?
Something similar happened to me. My Aunt had a Matrix and she took it to the dealer for a spill and fill. OK no problem. Wife and I bought it from her because the wife needed a work vehicle. I did my own spill and fill. Two half turns on the drain bolt and it fell right out. Like you I had to replace the pan. The bolt just spun around, I have no idea how they got it on and got it to not leak after 40K miles.
@jamescaron6465 That literally happened to a used outboard I bought from dealership as well. Literally epoxied the lower gear oil drain bolt. I just epoxied the plug back in and traded it back to the dealer.
I have a 2016 civic. I drive it like a stole it. I have had it daily over 100 mph.I luv it max for me 127 at 6800 rpm. Still runs great..I'll keep you posted when I blow it up. PS I'm 74
I had an Integra that I street-raced hard for 10 yrs, and I had ZERO engine or transmission problems (it was a manual). Hondas can be driven hard and they'll keep working...
71 retired diyer. 1998 honda prelude 5 sp great car. Timi g belt shredded in pcs while drving. Replaced with all related, no bent valves. 2006 subaru sti pos too much maintenance
@@miriamvivo4279 I'm 21 and love those old preludes. So hard to find them in my area without rust or stupid modifications. One day I'll come across one I hope
@@miriamvivo4279I was shopping around for a 2012 Accord (because my Civic was totalled) I wanted a V6 - 6MT. That’s a tough find! The ones who have it don’t wanna sell it. I wonder why. 🤔
I musta lucked out: Since new, I have taken my '99 4Runner in for four Toyota power flushes over 180,000 miles. Shifts like new. Had to change the valve cover gaskets and swapped out the injectors myself. The cam lobes only have very faint lines on a couple lobes. Should run the rest of my life.
Drain and fill on a Honda slushbox is a cakewalk. It should be done on level ground and always remember to put the same amount in as came out. That is usually 3-4 quarts, of OEM honda transmission fluid specific to your transmission. Use a long funnel, utilize the oem fill and check plug, and follow the factory fill and recheck procedures every 30k for a transmission that will last 300k+. Or be smart and get a manual and change the fluid every 100k for a transmission that will outlast the chassis.
Most of them you change them like a differential or transfer case. Over fill it and pull the overflow bolt out until it stops draining. Sucks that you can't just see the level from a stick though
This is one of the things I miss about the old 8th gen Civic I used to drive. The 10th gen is great, but it doesn’t have the dip stick to check the transmission fluid
I have a manual 2014. Still rocks. 330k km in Canada. Doesn't burn even a drop of oil. Extremely happy with it and keep it until the wheels come off. 😂
I bought a 2016 toyota with a 4 speed auto, dealer had put the wrong fluid in it. They had the purple CVT fluid it should have had the RED toyota ATF fluid. I drained it out, hope it didn't damage anything. Dealerships are staffed with people not paid enough to care.
The problem is, dealerships mostly want to sell cars. Repair is a secondary function and sometimes it’s a long shot to even call it “repair.” Better off taking your cars to facilities that are skilled and passionate about fixing cars, not about selling them.
OMG No Lie this just happened to me with my Honda Odyssey of course I know how to replace the transmission fluid but I was being lazy because it was hot outside and I didn't feel like doing it and they overfilled it the car started bucking on the expressway I pulled over and saw that it had too much fluid in there I ran to the dealership and showed it to them and they complain and said that was normal after arguing with them for some time I gave them a couple cuss words and just went and did it myself and the car ran beautifully sadly I learned my lesson coughing $150 for them to do it and only $50 for me to do it don't trust the dealership he's right he's right double-check always double-check and do-it-yourself if can
I would have made a bet with them for $1000.00. Put the bet in writing and get them to sign it. Then contact Honda USA and get the correct answer. If you’re right and win the bet, make sure you get paid and make a stink if they don’t want to pay. Get the local TV news involved.
This reminds me of the time I took my car to get an oil change and they said my car was leaking oil but couldn’t find where it was leaking oil from. A couple months back I had the valve cover gasket changed by this dealership called Kunes Toyota dealership in Illinois. So I took it to my dad’s mechanic immediately found the issue took the cover off and saw that they hadn’t changed anything. He got a laugh at it and said couldn’t find the oil leak and they claim to be the experts. Don’t trust dealerships. It’s hard to find a good honest shop. What sucks though is I use to get great work from them.
Got rid of my 07 Civic EX with over 200k miles on it. Only "issues" I had, needed a new starter and a few exhaust pipes I just got my second, but I got a 21 lx, I didn't want turbo and all the electronic extra crap. The lx has some electronics but it is simple, clean and minimal and ALL I need to get to work or take a trip. I am not drag racing, this car after few months drives well and gets me to A and B with no issues so far.
@@Deelitee cause I go to dealership myself & purchase the fluid for them. I watched them in the waiting room once cause the mechanic was 35mins drive, so I had no choice but to wait for the repair. This was before uber/lyft was a thing, so I wasnt planning on wastinig $100 for taxi just to have to come back in 3hrs, haha
My sister has a Nissan Juke with the horrible Jetco CVT. Car's 8 yrs old and going strong. She does a yearly CVT maintenance on it. You do regular maintenance, even the Nissan Jetco CVT will last a very long time. But you gotta do the maintenance. Unlike auto or manual trannies, CVTs require yearly work, then you're good.
@@bjornironsides6474 CVTs require YEARLY fluid changes or they WILL break. Auto or manual don't have that strict requirement, every 3 yrs is fine...my manual tranny I haven't changed fluids in 5 yrs...no problems. The point was CVTs require yearly maintenance
I purchased a Certified Used 2021 Crv. Since it has a CVT I stopped into the service department of the dealership where I purchased it. I asked how often should the CVT fluid be changed. They seemed dumbfounded. Then they had me speak to the service manager. He was clueless also. He then looked on his computer. He said it should be changed 80,000 to 115,000 miles. Too long in my opinion.
see I tried searching for filter on my Honda Civic tourer 1.6 idtec... manual gears! and I couldnt find anywhere on any video showing any filter change or anyone talking about it whilst changing oil? I assumed it was only on Automatics? Any Idea... My brain was like surely all has a filter to keep fragments from damaging.
I bought a transmission filter for my 2013 civic but I can’t get to it! So much stuff to remove and I’m not comfortable doing it. Found zero videos on RUclips
Scotty I own a 2015 civic 2 door 5 Spd . I got 200,000 k and it gets 42 mph. best car engine EVER MAID !!!!! . basic maintenance only .You can't beat Honda engines !!!!!!!!
Change your own fluid could be worse than over fill. if you have watch 'customer said' videos...people put wrong fluid to wrong place all the time. at lease the dealer won't do that. not all people know what goes where in a car...and lots of DIY cause lots of problems.
I had mine serviced at the dealer......I questioned them before I decided to get it done there: I asked exactly what is the process, what fluid do u use, has your mechanic done this job before, how long, how much etc. Then I was happy they knew what they were doing. PS, the dealer told me how many people put a different brand/cheap CVT fluid & then have problems & the dealer has to do 3 drain & fills to get all the fluid out.
I have same problem with dealer they put half quart more fluid in transmission. After that transmission can't shift from 4th to 5th gear have high rpm ond overheating.
Me to. I have CDs I bought in the 80s that work great. I STILL buy CDs to this day. Pop them in my PC and rip to mp3, copy to USB drive for use in the car so I'm not trying to swap cds while driving. Listen to what I want, when I want, and no recurring monthly fee.
I just traded in A 2015 Civic LX it had 235K miles I drained and refilled the transmission fluid myself at 40K miles! Only issue I had was with that car was CV axles went though 7 of them. I used all different Transmission fluid never used the Honda one
i had the trans rebuilt on my 2002 Honda Odyssey and I drove it home and check the trans oil level and saw it was overfilled !!! I called the shop and they told me not to worry because it won't hurt it .... They had to take it in a week later after driving it around and they checked it out and said it was Okay to be over filled
Most independent shops do not change CVT fluid. And if so, they dont use factory fluid. Good luck watching them do the service. Had my Altima CVT changed at a highly rated Nissan dealer . No issues. Its where you bring it for service that matters.
I have an 04’ Honda accord 2.4. 190,000 miles on it. I’m from Pennsylvania and I lucked out on not having a lot of rust issues. It runs great but burns oil like they normally do. The A/C no longer works and the driver window doesn’t work. That’s due to the window button being broke. And all the junkyards don’t have them because it’s a known problem that the switch breaks.
This is my favorite generation of Civics. The SI although not as Rev happy has more Nm and a visual improvement over the 8-th Gen Civic. The European FN2 Type R was pretty wild looking and probably still is the fastest Type R on Straight line to date.
I change my transmission fluid every 30,000 mi. I also take the pan off and replace the pan filter and clean the magnets and then also replace the cartridge filter behind the driver tire. I make sure to do the full fluid change and filter change for good measure. And yes I do change the gaskets as well.
Sad, but true. I had the transmission on my GMC Canyon serviced by my local dealer while it was under warranty. Fast forward a couple years and I decided to service it myself as the dealer would not install the premium synthetic fluid I wanted in it. I measured how much fluid I removed from the transmission and refilled it with the same amount. I brought the transmission up to the proper temperature to check fluid level, and nothing came out of the overflow hole. Two quarts later I had it to the proper level. So bottom line, they underfilled it by about two quarts. Transmission works great now.
I do my own “flush.” I knock loose one of the trans cooler lines, and use assistance to start the engine in neutral. The trans pump pumps out all the old fluid. As soon as it stops pumping out fluid, engine is shut down, pan dropped, new filter installed and pans inspected/ cleaned. Any other service done at this time. Replace pan, put the line back and refill. This has fixed rough shifting, torque converter clutch flutter, dirty solenoids etc. If there is an excessive amount of clutch material or metal in the pan, I will replace some of the old fluid and maybe use 2-3 qts of fresh fluid to buy time until further repairs can be made
I rented a 2024 Corolla and thought I was going to hate the CVT, but it turns out I liked it. Driven normally, it was smooth and kept the engine quiet and would react quickly for passing.
The owner’s manual for my 24 Civic says “Do not attempt to check or change the CVT fluid yourself”. I’ll bet a dealership would try to deny any warranty claim on a CVT that was serviced DYI.
@@TimTownsend-rc7qc Yes, I’m aware of the law, but it won’t stop a dealership from trying to deny a warranty claim when the owners manual states the work should not be done by the car owner. They can be taken to court, but who wants to go through all of that trouble. An independent shop with an experienced, trustworthy mechanic is probably the best way to go till the warranty expires.
Because it is pretty tricky to refill it again. Overfill and underfill can be a problem later on. If the technician doesn't do the correct procedure, be sure that in a couple thousand miles the transmission will have a problem. Also skipping transmission maintenance will have a toll later.
I have a manual that I got from a Toyota dealership. It comes with many free oil changes. The last time I brought in my car, I went into my car and found it sitting in first, with no brake on and of course that made the car die. I'm surprised that it didn't roll away. I always seem to have issues taking it to the dealer.
The only way they can make money on dependable, well-made cars is to do things like overfilling the transmission so that they will be boogered up and require lots of future work. I just don't trust dealership service.
Solid honda Civic lasts forever. I owned a 2015 civic it was zippy . I drove it through snow, no problem. I am getting a 2025 honda civic .I hope it's just as reliable
Bought a car with cvt transmission at 42,000km on it. Car left me on the side of the road at 48,000km. Dealer actually put a “new” transmission through warranty. 2016 lancer happened in 2020
You would have gotten a real kick out of what the Honda dealer did to my 3 year old Accord. Took it in because of a "slight oil leak" from the valve cover gasket. 30 minutes later down the highway, once I slow down, I realize my car is pouring out smoke and oil went all over the engine bay. Should have kept going until it lit up, but I didn't.
Years ago I had a volvo misfiring right after changing the spark plugs. Took it to a mechanic. He replaced the spark plugs I had just replaced. Misfired even worse. Took the plugs out he had put in, the gap was all over the place on the cheap copper plugs he put it. Took it to another place - they replaced the mass airflow sensor. Didn't fix the problem. Finally decided I was done getting ripped off. Did my own research and replaced the coil pack, problem solved. That was when I stopped trusting mechanics.
Generally speaking, dealerships have trained professionals who deal with their vehicles. So you probably should trust they usually know better when maintaining your vehicles. (Unless you are BMW), telling customers transmission fluid doesn’t need to be changed and oil can last 20,000 km intervals!
I really like the hybrids that are primarily electric cars. But have a gasoline assist engine that works with a planetary gearset that provides reliable CVT action. Who would want shifting in an electric car?
Yep, people think the dealer has the best technician .. wrong, i work in a few dealers. If you see what I saw, you would never take your car to the dealer
lol, funny I just changed my sister in law’s transmission fluid today and she said the dealer has done it, it came out black and smells, pretty sure it wasn’t done, but she paid
Dealerships are Experts in over-charging $$, giving the confidence of screwups and telling customers "that is normal"... even when there is an oil leak they would say it's do to gravity 😂😂😂
This video is making me real nervous, i just had a full lube service on my 19' Camry and now im worried they fudged something. Oh well, that was a couple months ago now
Transmission oil changes seem like rocket science to me. I have 52,000 on my vehicle and I really want to do it myself but…. I am literally afraid to and now I’m even more afraid to take it to someone to do it. Ugh. Dealership told me it’s sealed transmission anyway so they won’t do it.
I have a 2017 Camry SE I’m about to have the dealer do the transmission service. Based on Atlanta GA traffic the service department recommends every 30,000 miles. The amount of driving I do, I’m 72, that will take me about 5 years. Your recommendation. The engine I do every 6 months regardless of mileage.

I'm at 502000km...original clutch, alternator, radiator, transmission...I don't understand how it's still running. 2007 Honda civic LX
Oil of choice?
I have always used Mobil1 full synthetic 5W-20
Found a twenty twelve honda Civic for my daughter. She absolutely loves the thing she drives it to and from work every day and spends a lot of time. Either parked or driving it very reliable and I highly recommend that generation. Of civics to anyone who wants small reliable transportation?
At some point a dealership stripped the drain bolt, then epoxied it back in. I replaced the pan, I do it myself now.
Honda CVT doesn't have a pan
Yes they do what @@bigdaddymak1439
Something similar happened to me. My Aunt had a Matrix and she took it to the dealer for a spill and fill. OK no problem. Wife and I bought it from her because the wife needed a work vehicle. I did my own spill and fill. Two half turns on the drain bolt and it fell right out. Like you I had to replace the pan. The bolt just spun around, I have no idea how they got it on and got it to not leak after 40K miles.
@@jamescaron6465 my god
@jamescaron6465 That literally happened to a used outboard I bought from dealership as well. Literally epoxied the lower gear oil drain bolt. I just epoxied the plug back in and traded it back to the dealer.
I love my 2010 Civic Coupe.with the traditional automatic. 125K miles and still running strong and reliable.
I have a 2016 civic. I drive it like a stole it. I have had it daily over 100 mph.I luv it max for me 127 at 6800 rpm. Still runs great..I'll keep you posted when I blow it up. PS

@@miriamvivo4279I was shopping around for a 2012 Accord (because my Civic was totalled) I wanted a V6 - 6MT. That’s a tough find! The ones who have it don’t wanna sell it. I wonder why. 🤔
I musta lucked out: Since new, I have taken my '99 4Runner in for four Toyota power flushes over 180,000 miles. Shifts like new. Had to change the valve cover gaskets and swapped out the injectors myself. The cam lobes only have very faint lines on a couple lobes. Should run the rest of my life.
U definitely did luck out I would never do that ever
@@trapps75 Agreed, never flush, drain and fill only for a transmission.
Mental to have a transmission flush
Toyota Forerunners are maybe the Best Vehicles made, especially the 4 wheel drive ones...
@randybeard6040 4 wheel drive is great for snow, or for offroad. But not for reliability, it's just more stuff that could break
Drain and fill on a Honda slushbox is a cakewalk. It should be done on level ground and always remember to put the same amount in as came out. That is usually 3-4 quarts, of OEM honda transmission fluid specific to your transmission. Use a long funnel, utilize the oem fill and check plug, and follow the factory fill and recheck procedures every 30k for a transmission that will last 300k+. Or be smart and get a manual and change the fluid every 100k for a transmission that will outlast the chassis.
Anyone else noticed more than 70% improved video quality? Great work Scotty
Unfortunately on newer cars, they removed the transmission fluid dip stick, so you cannot check the fluid like you can oil
Most of them you change them like a differential or transfer case. Over fill it and pull the overflow bolt out until it stops draining. Sucks that you can't just see the level from a stick though
This is one of the things I miss about the old 8th gen Civic I used to drive. The 10th gen is great, but it doesn’t have the dip stick to check the transmission fluid
Sad part is, is you look... HONDA CVT(s) have a small screw on the back that is to be removed, to prevent over-filling.
I have a manual 2014. Still rocks.
330k km in Canada. Doesn't burn even a drop of oil. Extremely happy with it and keep it until the wheels come off. 😂
The road is always clear for Scotty…impressive 😆
I bought a 2016 toyota with a 4 speed auto, dealer had put the wrong fluid in it. They had the purple CVT fluid it should have had the RED toyota ATF fluid. I drained it out, hope it didn't damage anything. Dealerships are staffed with people not paid enough to care.
BELIEVE ME, it is REAL HARD TO FIND TECHS. WHO KNOW ABOUT CAR REPAIR
OR CARE.
The problem is, dealerships mostly want to sell cars. Repair is a secondary function and sometimes it’s a long shot to even call it “repair.”
Better off taking your cars to facilities that are skilled and passionate about fixing cars, not about selling them.
OMG No Lie this just happened to me with my Honda Odyssey of course I know how to replace the transmission fluid but I was being lazy because it was hot outside and I didn't feel like doing it and they overfilled it the car started bucking on the expressway I pulled over and saw that it had too much fluid in there I ran to the dealership and showed it to them and they complain and said that was normal after arguing with them for some time I gave them a couple cuss words and just went and did it myself and the car ran beautifully sadly I learned my lesson coughing $150 for them to do it and only $50 for me to do it don't trust the dealership he's right he's right double-check always double-check and do-it-yourself if can
What do you mean the car started bucking? from a stop it judders on acceleration? or whilst going at a speed on the highway?
I would have made a bet with them for $1000.00. Put the bet in writing and get them to sign it. Then contact Honda USA and get the correct answer. If you’re right and win the bet, make sure you get paid and make a stink if they don’t want to pay. Get the local TV news involved.
This reminds me of the time I took my car to get an oil change and they said my car was leaking oil but couldn’t find where it was leaking oil from. A couple months back I had the valve cover gasket changed by this dealership called Kunes Toyota dealership in Illinois. So I took it to my dad’s mechanic immediately found the issue took the cover off and saw that they hadn’t changed anything. He got a laugh at it and said couldn’t find the oil leak and they claim to be the experts. Don’t trust dealerships. It’s hard to find a good honest shop. What sucks though is I use to get great work from them.
Got rid of my 07 Civic EX with over 200k miles on it. Only "issues" I had, needed a new starter and a few exhaust pipes I just got my second, but I got a 21 lx, I didn't want turbo and all the electronic extra crap. The lx has some electronics but it is simple, clean and minimal and ALL I need to get to work or take a trip. I am not drag racing, this car after few months drives well and gets me to A and B with no issues so far.
Most mechanics overfill the transmission by a little when I've had it done
agreed, but I always make sure they used OEM fluid!
@@dbzownz12345 I always bring my own fluid Honda OEM DW1
How can you possibly over fill the transmission fluid? Any excess will just drain out.
@@dbzownz12345 how do you know tho??
@@Deelitee cause I go to dealership myself & purchase the fluid for them. I watched them in the waiting room once cause the mechanic was 35mins drive, so I had no choice but to wait for the repair.

My sister has a Nissan Juke with the horrible Jetco CVT. Car's 8 yrs old and going strong. She does a yearly CVT maintenance on it. You do regular maintenance, even the Nissan Jetco CVT will last a very long time. But you gotta do the maintenance. Unlike auto or manual trannies, CVTs require yearly work, then you're good.
That’s because jatcos aren’t terrible. All types of transmissions require fluid changes, not just cvts.
@@bjornironsides6474 CVTs require YEARLY fluid changes or they WILL break. Auto or manual don't have that strict requirement, every 3 yrs is fine...my manual tranny I haven't changed fluids in 5 yrs...no problems. The point was CVTs require yearly maintenance
I have a 2018 Honda CRV LX with 235k miles doing all the maintenance myself
No issues?
@@ravenmoto5948no issues, I just write down what miles i did the maintenance
That's the car I own. 40 mpg. Runs great...
I purchased a Certified Used 2021 Crv. Since it has a CVT I stopped into the service department of the dealership where I purchased it. I asked how often should the CVT fluid be changed. They seemed dumbfounded. Then they had me speak to the service manager. He was clueless also. He then looked on his computer. He said it should be changed 80,000 to 115,000 miles. Too long in my opinion.

they said what filters ?? 😂😂😂

see I tried searching for filter on my Honda Civic tourer 1.6 idtec... manual gears! and I couldnt find anywhere on any video showing any filter change or anyone talking about it whilst changing oil?

You mean EVER MADE. Although I do wish I had a MAID to pick up after me.
Great videos as always. Excellent video quality!! How do you like your new camera?
Change your own fluid could be worse than over fill. if you have watch 'customer said' videos...people put wrong fluid to wrong place all the time. at lease the dealer won't do that. not all people know what goes where in a car...and lots of DIY cause lots of problems.
I had mine serviced at the dealer......I questioned them before I decided to get it done there: I asked exactly what is the process, what fluid do u use, has your mechanic done this job before, how long, how much etc.
Then I was happy they knew what they were doing.
PS, the dealer told me how many people put a different brand/cheap CVT fluid & then have problems & the dealer has to do 3 drain & fills to get all the fluid out.
These older Civics are gold. They just keep going and will continue to for years to come
I have same problem with dealer they put half quart more fluid in transmission. After that transmission can't shift from 4th to 5th gear have high rpm ond overheating.
The local toyota dealer sold me atf fluid for a dexron camry transmission. You can't trust ANYONE anymore not even the dealer.
I still have CD’s do you want me to throw them all away & start paying for a service that may not have the music available that I bought ?
Me to. I have CDs I bought in the 80s that work great. I STILL buy CDs to this day. Pop them in my PC and rip to mp3, copy to USB drive for use in the car so I'm not trying to swap cds while driving. Listen to what I want, when I want, and no recurring monthly fee.
I just traded in A 2015 Civic LX it had 235K miles I drained and refilled the transmission fluid myself at 40K miles! Only issue I had was with that car was CV axles went though 7 of them. I used all different Transmission fluid never used the Honda one
My Honda HRV CVT transmission blew up at 50K.

I called the shop and they told me not to worry because it won't hurt it .... They had to take it in a week later after driving it around and they checked it out and said it was Okay to be over filled
My 2013 civic has 334000 miles and I still drive it to work daily mon -friday 140 mile round trip per day per week
Whats interesting is that the Civic has morphed into the older Accords in size and the new Accords are like a full size vehicle these days.
Yes. I’ve had a 96 accord, 2004 accord, now I own a 21 civic.
The 21 civic has more room than my 96 and damn near matches the 04.
People getting fatter and fatter....
Yeh, most brands have ......just go down one size
Most independent shops do not change CVT fluid. And if so, they dont use factory fluid. Good luck watching them do the service. Had my Altima CVT changed at a highly rated Nissan dealer . No issues. Its where you bring it for service that matters.
I have an 04’ Honda accord 2.4. 190,000 miles on it. I’m from Pennsylvania and I lucked out on not having a lot of rust issues. It runs great but burns oil like they normally do. The A/C no longer works and the driver window doesn’t work. That’s due to the window button being broke. And all the junkyards don’t have them because it’s a known problem that the switch breaks.
This is my favorite generation of Civics. The SI although not as Rev happy has more Nm and a visual improvement over the 8-th Gen Civic. The European FN2 Type R was pretty wild looking and probably still is the fastest Type R on Straight line to date.
I change my transmission fluid every 30,000 mi. I also take the pan off and replace the pan filter and clean the magnets and then also replace the cartridge filter behind the driver tire. I make sure to do the full fluid change and filter change for good measure. And yes I do change the gaskets as well.
Sad, but true. I had the transmission on my GMC Canyon serviced by my local dealer while it was under warranty. Fast forward a couple years and I decided to service it myself as the dealer would not install the premium synthetic fluid I wanted in it. I measured how much fluid I removed from the transmission and refilled it with the same amount. I brought the transmission up to the proper temperature to check fluid level, and nothing came out of the overflow hole. Two quarts later I had it to the proper level. So bottom line, they underfilled it by about two quarts. Transmission works great now.
I’m proud to say I have a ‘12 civic coupe with a manual transmission. I ain’t never gonna get rid of it..
I do my own “flush.” I knock loose one of the trans cooler lines, and use assistance to start the engine in neutral. The trans pump pumps out all the old fluid. As soon as it stops pumping out fluid, engine is shut down, pan dropped, new filter installed and pans inspected/ cleaned. Any other service done at this time. Replace pan, put the line back and refill. This has fixed rough shifting, torque converter clutch flutter, dirty solenoids etc. If there is an excessive amount of clutch material or metal in the pan, I will replace some of the old fluid and maybe use 2-3 qts of fresh fluid to buy time until further repairs can be made
I rented a 2024 Corolla and thought I was going to hate the CVT, but it turns out I liked it. Driven normally, it was smooth and kept the engine quiet and would react quickly for passing.
That Toyota actually has a “launch gear” to get it moving and then the CVT takes over.
The owner’s manual for my 24 Civic says “Do not attempt to check or change the CVT fluid yourself”. I’ll bet a dealership would try to deny any warranty claim on a CVT that was serviced DYI.
That'd be a violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in the U.S.
@@TimTownsend-rc7qc Yes, I’m aware of the law, but it won’t stop a dealership from trying to deny a warranty claim when the owners manual states the work should not be done by the car owner. They can be taken to court, but who wants to go through all of that trouble. An independent shop with an experienced, trustworthy mechanic is probably the best way to go till the warranty expires.
I bought 2024 Honda HRV with CTV and now I need a new transmission only at 17k miles 😡
Sorry to hear that, should definitely be covered under warranty. I'm picking up the 2025 HRV next week.
My Mazda dealer refuses to change the transmission fluid on sealed transmissions.
Some do, some don't.......u want to find one that has done the job before, so they're not learning on your car
Because it is pretty tricky to refill it again. Overfill and underfill can be a problem later on. If the technician doesn't do the correct procedure, be sure that in a couple thousand miles the transmission will have a problem. Also skipping transmission maintenance will have a toll later.
I have a manual that I got from a Toyota dealership. It comes with many free oil changes. The last time I brought in my car, I went into my car and found it sitting in first, with no brake on and of course that made the car die. I'm surprised that it didn't roll away. I always seem to have issues taking it to the dealer.
I have a 2013! With the regular automatic and it’s my baby
The only way they can make money on dependable, well-made cars is to do things like overfilling the transmission so that they will be boogered up and require lots of future work. I just don't trust dealership service.
Solid honda Civic lasts forever. I owned a 2015 civic it was zippy . I drove it through snow, no problem. I am getting a 2025 honda civic .I hope it's just as reliable
This same crap happened to me at the dealer as well. Overfilled by at least a quart. Luckily no damage.
Bought a car with cvt transmission at 42,000km on it. Car left me on the side of the road at 48,000km. Dealer actually put a “new” transmission through warranty. 2016 lancer happened in 2020
You would have gotten a real kick out of what the Honda dealer did to my 3 year old Accord.
Took it in because of a "slight oil leak" from the valve cover gasket. 30 minutes later down the highway, once I slow down, I realize my car is pouring out smoke and oil went all over the engine bay.
Should have kept going until it lit up, but I didn't.
Years ago I had a volvo misfiring right after changing the spark plugs. Took it to a mechanic. He replaced the spark plugs I had just replaced. Misfired even worse. Took the plugs out he had put in, the gap was all over the place on the cheap copper plugs he put it. Took it to another place - they replaced the mass airflow sensor. Didn't fix the problem. Finally decided I was done getting ripped off. Did my own research and replaced the coil pack, problem solved. That was when I stopped trusting mechanics.
Sadly, where I live the few good mechanics have retired or died and in some cases the stealership is the only option for certain repairs.
Always do my own fluids and tire rotations.. I don’t trust them to hand tighten, I’ve had bolts cross threaded before
My friends Mitsubishi Mirage is doing very good. It has 112,000 miles and the transmission still shifts like new.
The standard 5 speed transmission on Honda accords were Godly, ESPECIALLY in the 97 Accord
I raved up my engine and it blew a rod...Thanks Scotty.
Generally speaking, dealerships have trained professionals who deal with their vehicles. So you probably should trust they usually know better when maintaining your vehicles. (Unless you are BMW), telling customers transmission fluid doesn’t need to be changed and oil can last 20,000 km intervals!
I would change cvt fluid myself but you need a leveled ground.
Oh dont you wanna, Hagerstown Honda 🎵🎶
I really like the hybrids that are primarily electric cars. But have a gasoline assist engine that works with a planetary gearset that provides reliable CVT action.
Who would want shifting in an electric car?
Never had a problem with my cvt at the Subaru dealership
changing transmission fluid is just as important as changing oil. modern transmissions wont last more than 120K miles if you never change the fluid
Should've got EX trim. Atleast get the display screen or swap out that old infotament for something bluetooth & hook up backup camera to new screen.
I have a 2013 Honda pilot exl 4x4 240,000 miles I’ve only ever changed a radiator , and timing belt I change all the fluids my self
The Ford dealership put a gallon to much in my transmission and it blew the seals out 😳I do all my repairs and maintenance now
Guess I have look at the “umph” spec when I buy a car!
Yep, people think the dealer has the best technician .. wrong, i work in a few dealers. If you see what I saw, you would never take your car to the dealer
This is why I go to a small mom pops mechanic shop.
lol, funny I just changed my sister in law’s transmission fluid today and she said the dealer has done it, it came out black and smells, pretty sure it wasn’t done, but she paid
I had a civic ex 2015 and recently sold it with 90 k miles nonissues
Is this a new camera, your video looks really nice
Dealerships are Experts in over-charging $$, giving the confidence of screwups and telling customers "that is normal"... even when there is an oil leak they would say it's do to gravity 😂😂😂
This video is making me real nervous, i just had a full lube service on my 19' Camry and now im worried they fudged something. Oh well, that was a couple months ago now
It's a civic. Doesn't need big power as an old guy
2007 camry v6 245k miles with original transmission fluid still shift just fine and I drive like I stole it.
Had a 15 civic. CVT went out at 145k. My fault though, never changed the fluid.
Check out that Mercedes Benz EV incident in Incheon Korea at the beginning of Aug 2024. I also really like Mercedes Benz response to the incident
Transmission oil changes seem like rocket science to me. I have 52,000 on my vehicle and I really want to do it myself but…. I am literally afraid to and now I’m even more afraid to take it to someone to do it. Ugh. Dealership told me it’s sealed transmission anyway so they won’t do it.
More difficult now they have deliberately removed transmission dipsticks.
Scotty showing his experience, calls them 'mag' wheels.
Honda used non cvt tranmission for this civic in Indonesia market but after this model then they use cvt for all they're model
Sane folks never take vehicles to dealership for any service
My dealer wouldn't even give me a quote on changing the transmission fluid and filter unless I spoke with them on the phone: no email or text
Scotty confirmed if you want a forever transmission, go with the manual ones.
Hondas are simple drain and fill.
One guy who didn't break his transmission doesn't prove that cvts are any good
Toyota Corolla also has CVT. The CVT became standard in 2017. Corolla offered manual only on the SE
Not any longer. Only the GR gets a 6MT
I have a 2017 Camry SE I’m about to have the dealer do the transmission service. Based on Atlanta GA traffic the service department recommends every 30,000 miles. The amount of driving I do, I’m 72, that will take me about 5 years. Your recommendation. The engine I do every 6 months regardless of mileage.
You should be golden at 5 yrs/30k miles on your tranny fluid.
Honda civic are great car's too
My dealership forgot to change my oil two years in a row lol
Didn't Nissan smarten up and went back to automatic transmission in the Pathfinder
What I don't like is now car manufacturers don't put a dipstick to measure your transmission fluid level.
still have to adjust the valves
