Excellent video and need to do this for my Civic as well. One question I have is where you check the fluid drains do you need to let it keep draining before putting the bolt back on or once it stops draining you can put the bolt back on. This part I am confused at (5:55-6:14)

@@pickle_juice_4271 I am glad you are asking. That is how I learned. Imagine the transmission fluid poured into a bucket and you drill a hole in the bucket at the height you want that fluid to stop going up. Then when you see fluid dripping from that hole you stop adding fluid in the bucket since you reached the necessary amount.

If you mean that you took out the transmission pan to clean the magnets and change the internal filter, then you will need no more than 6 quarts. What do you mean with the “turbine ones”?
Does the car have to be perfectly level? Im on ramps in the front and jacked the back. My garage is sloped. So im unuse what level really is.ni think the back is a tad lower then the front of the car. Not sure how sensitive the transmission is to over filling? Ill measure the liquid which was drained to see how much came out.
To be honest, I don’t think it has to be perfectly leveled. Obviously you don’t want to do it with only the front on the ramps. If the current setup is a tad lower maybe next time you can reverse the setup with the car backwards and then adjust the hight in the jack stands to level it.

Does CVT transmission oil expand in volume if it is old and dirty? My 2017 civic now has 190K km on it, and bought it used with 30K km on the odometer. First CVT oil swap I'm doing and think I may had my car slanted forward as when I drained the oil, 4.8 litres came out. Now I only have 4 litres to refil the car with. Do I simply use the 4 litre and add 0.8L of the old oil I've taken out? I don't know if the old dirty oil expands in volume. And I'm hesitant to use the check bolt if indeed the CVT volume expands or the car is not leveled properly. What do you guys think?
I don’t think the oil expands. It really doesn’t matter if you took more oil out because the car was one way or the other. What it matters now is to put back be oil at the right level using the check bolt. Put three and a half quarts, shift through the gears and then check the bolt. If it leaks you are fine, if it doesn’t then slowly add until starts leaking. The car must be leveled to check the bolt
@@gotitdone What I did wrong is that I did not check the level of the car before jacking it up to have a reference point. Now I have no way of knowing what is level, therefore going by the check bolt may not work if the car is leaning forward, hence the extra oil. That's why I'm tempted to go by what came out, and match that and put it back in. 1. Then I can prime the gears by running though them. 2. take the car on the road check level reference. 3. put it back on the jack/ramps, and check level 4. check the check bolt for proper level.

On a manual I found it says to run the car till operating temperature and then start to drain/fill the oil. Is this necessary does the oil amount/thickness change with temperature? 2. Can I just add the same amount of CVT oil back in which drained out? Without having to go through the check bolt procedure? 3. Read if a car has gone long without a CVT oil change that a full flush is not recommended as it can damange the transnission by removeing the sludge, is this true? If so a oil change would be enough?

Good questions. The process described on this video is a “drain and fill”, not a “flush”. Don’t flush it since that is the best way to puncture seals and orings in the transmission.

The process described on this video is a “drain and fill”, not a “flush”. Don’t flush it since that is the best way to puncture seals and orings in the transmission.
I don’t bring the car to operating temperature. I don’t think it will affect it that much. In addition, if you do that the fluid will be really hot. Be careful when draining it.
Use the checking bolt for the proper level. It is easy to do so.

CVT fluid change, not ATF. They're quite different fluids, if you put ATF in a CVT it would die a slow painful death
Yeah… thank you for the comment. This car is constant velocity transmission and uses HCF2, which is a transmission fluid for CVTs
yes but your title states ATF im just worried someone may mistake is all@@gotitdone
@@toothlessthefc4394 thanks. Changed the title
no problem. i didnt mean anything mean or bad about it, just hate to see someone mess up a trans and try to blame you@@gotitdone
For a 2.0 is any different
@@benmiller6166 same procedure but I think you cannot see the ATF full plug that way because it is underneath the shifter lever and the air box. Watch the first 4 minutes of this video on how to expose it:

Yo compre mi carro con 80 mil millas y acabo de hacer ese mismo procedimiento. El aceite salio así como el tuyo y no olía a quemado. ¿Crees que le pueda pasar algo malo a mi carro bro?
@@titoalejandrogodoyflores8465 No creo que le pase nada malo. Sigue haciendo “drain and fill” cada 30,000 millas y estarás bien. No vayas a hacer “flush”, como sugieren algunos dealers.

@@gotitdone si, solo le cambie los 4 litros, hasta ahora esta bien. Muchas gracias por la respuesta ya me suscribí.

@@gotitdone where is bolt
@@gotitdone 😍
@@alikhanalikhanmandokhail569 check minute 5:29 and 5:59. There is a 12mm bolt higher up. It should not drip if you are at the right amount of fluid with the car leveled.
Would this be the same for a honda civic 2020 lx 2.0l?
@@charlesxoi1892 YES, as long as your car comes with a Continuous Velocity Transmission (CVT).
The drain, check and fill bolts may be in slightly different positions.

wow !!
Car is not level.
It is. My driveway has a slope and I counter it when I jack it up, which is convenient for me so I can get underneath easily.
I have another video on a level surface where I jacked it up with four jack stands so the check bolt sure the right level.
Doesn’t matter.if you fill it to where it’s coming out of the overfill bolt.
