- How to Change the Honda automatic CVT Transmission Fluid for the 2011-2016 Honda CR-Z (NOT THE CR-V)
Nice and quick video, I tried to cut out the boring parts as much as possible for a speed run.
Time: It took me about 1 hour
Part numbers :4 Quarts of Honda OEM CVT Fluid : 08200-9006 (USA), or 08200-9006C(Canada)
Drain bolt washer 90471-PX4-000
Tools required:
Philips or flat head screw driver
3/8 male rachet
Jack/Jackstands/Ramps
Transmission Funnel
Drain pan
Steps:
1.) First we are going to jack up the car, the CRZ is a little bit hard to jack from the front because the front bumper is so low, so I followed the guide on the CR-Z Forum to jack up the car.
2.)The front jack point is between the 2 front wheels.
3.)The rear jack point is the tow hook.
4.)Make sure the car is level, and put jack stands onto the jack points as shown here.
5.) Pull the hood release lever
6.) lift up the hood , and support it with the hood prop rod.
7.) Under the car there is a plastic cover , we will need to remove 4 screws, you can use a philips or flathead screw driver, but here I used a drill to speed it up.
8.) Unscrew the CVT access panel, there are 4 screws.
9.) After those are removed, coming in from the front of the car, it should look like this.
10.) Remove the CVT dipstick
11.) Use a 3/8 Rachet remove the drain bolt, I had to use a pipe to give me a little bit more torque because I couldn't remove it with just the rachet alone.
12.) Position the drain pan to try and avoid spilling
13.) Use a clean paper towel or rag, wipe off the metal shavings from the drain bolt then replace it with a new washer
14.) Replace the drain bolt and then tighten it with a 3/8 rachet, then clean up the area with a rag or a paper towel.
15.) Remove the CVT dipstick again, and then insert the transmission funnel
16.) Fill with 3 quarts of Honda CVT 08200-9006 or 08200-9006C fluid, DO NOT confuse them with the Honda HCF-2, they are NOT the same. The Fluid for the CR-Z should be slightly red in color.
17.) Remove the funnel then check the fluid level with the dip stick
18.) Start the car and shift through each of the gears 3 times to let the fluid run through the transmission.
19.) Reinstall the CVT access panel
20.) Reinstall the main plastic cover
21.) Lower the car

Great video friend, and thanks, I've got a 2014 crz that needed this done. Went to dealership yesterday and purchased the cvt fluid and came home and done it myself, no problems, appreciate it
Hey Bryan, glad to be able to help!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Yours is by far the most straightforward and informative I've come by. 😄
Hi Lugatoc, Thanks for for watching and glad you enjoyed it. Makes my day!
Great job and tutorial. I can confirm that the PNs listed are correct. When i was doing my car, i needed 3QT+18oz to bring to proper level (within hot range), so definitely buy 4 QT.
Thanks for watching and the helpful tip Michael!
Is it supposed to be in the hot range when at temp.? And what like 1 forth more a bottle?
Great vid GhettoDiy! Using the pipe for leverage is a great idea.
Thanks for watching!
2011 CR-Z is squealing from the CVT upon mild to heavy acceleration. It stops when you're up to speed or maintaining speed. Fluid? Belt loose? I'm lost and new to CVT
Nice! Very informative!
Glad to help. Thanks for watching!
What Capacity 2.8L..?
Can you use AMS OIL CVT Fluid???
The directions on the back of the bottle read:::
USE IN BELT AND CHAIN TYPE CVT'S THAT REQUIRE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATIONS:
HONDA: HMMF (08200-9006) , HCF-2
Hi Chuck D, thanks for watching! the specification calls for Honda CVT 08200-9006 or 08200-9006C fluid, not the Honda HCF-2, they are NOT the same. The Fluid for the CR-Z should be slightly red in color. I'm not sure why the AMS Oil CVT fluid can replace the 2 different generations of Honda CVT fluid as the Honda OEM ones are not interchangeable. If the AMS OIL CVT fluid say it is the same as the 08200-9006, you will have to use at your own risk. Honda transmissions tend to be very picky with the fluids they are happy with. Hope that helps!
I noticed my fluid wasn't reddish, it was yellowish. I think Honda sold me the wrong for and that's why my car is jerking when i take off.
How often do you change the coolant? I have a Hyundai that says first change is in 10 years. I can't find anything in Honda's manual.
Hi Stuntz0rZ, the CR-Z has a maintenance minder system, when the code 5 comes up then that's when you have to make the coolant change. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
@@ghettodiy7114 ok thanks. I have a 2016. I'm going to get it up on jacks and do my first brake fluid change and then i guess i am done :)
Did you change the filter when you did this?
Hey Patrick, no I did not change the filter.
Nice job , but I thought you were going to strip the threads on the pan when you were tightening the plug Lol..thanks
Thanks for watching JOGO!
How often should i change the liquid?
Hi Pedro,
There should be a Honda Maintenance Minder 3 code indicating it's time to change the transmission fluid.
Hope that helps.
Hi is the fluid the same for a 11 crz but manual?
Thanks for watching! The CVT transmission is not the same as the MT transmission. You would have to get the Honda MTF for the Honda CR-Z.
@@ghettodiy7114 keeping on the topic of manual transmission, how much is required for a complete change?
@@MohammedL Hi M L, I just checked the 2011 CR-Z owner's manual, assuming it's the same for all MT CR-Z's and you are only changing the transmission fluid and not replacing the transmission, it takes 1.5 US Qt or (1.4Litre)of Honda Manual Transmission Fluid. Also, if Honda MTF is not available, you may use the API Certificated SAE 10 W-30 or 10W-40 Viscosity motor oil as a temporary measure. Replace with MTF as soon as possible. Motor oil does not contain the proper additives for the transmission and continued use can cause stiffer shifting.
@@ghettodiy7114 Thank you for the reply, I've just ordered 3x1litre from eBay. Genuine Honda MTF from Honda dealership. I will attempt to do exactly as per the video, which is fantastic. Thanks again for the reply.
@@MohammedL The MTF procedure is slightly different with the fill/check/drain holes. You can view a copy of the 2011 Honda CR-Z owner's manual here. (Look for 2011 CR-Z Owner's Manual PDF) owners.honda.com/vehicles/information/2011/CR-Z/manuals
This is how you check the MTF fluid level (from the owner's manual) , looks like the filler bolt has to be accessed under the car, not above like the CVT.
Remove the transmission filler bolt and
washer.
Carefully feel inside the bolt hole with your
fingers.
Check if the fluid level is up to the edge
of the bolt hole.
If the fluid level is not up to the edge of the
bolt hole, add Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF) until it runs out of the hole.
Put a new washer on the filler bolt, then
reinstall the filler bolt.
Tightening torque: 33 lbf∙ft (44 N∙m,
4.5 kgf∙m)
Reinstall the under cover with the bolts
and clips.
You may need a pump like this:
amzn.to/3hg1aDi
Hi, does this one need to do oil leveling?
Hi Mere Seeker, yes ideally you would have the car level.
What is this "fluid" for?
Hi Fernando, thanks for watching. The CVT fluid is a type of Transmission fluid. It's for lubricating the CVT transmission to clean and protect metal surfaces from wear. Hope that helps!
Why did you remove the entire bottom engine cover for a CVT fluid change? Just removing the small cover below the transmission plug should be enough isn't it Lol
Hi Bryan, thanks for watching, yes, removing the small cover below the transmission plug is enough if you are only doing the CVT fluid change. I removed the entire cover because I was doing the Honda B123 service which includes the Engine oil change. Hope that helps!
torque up the drain bolt to 49nm with a new washer
Thanks for watching and the tip!
can you do one where you change the filter?
Hi Tim Gray, Thanks for watching. It may be a while until my next CVT fluid change, I may film the filter change then!
There are two filters. One is inline to the cooler, the other is in side the pan.
every few miles you do the oil change
Wait.....there's no filter?
There is....I would definitely change it as well. Those cvts scare me.
@@johngatsby1473 you replied to yourself 6 months later? Whats wrong with these CVTs?

@@luisderivas6005 What are the part numbers for these filters?
