2015 Honda Civic, done at 75k miles. First I practiced how to remove battery holder, and the next day I went through whole process. So for 3-4 years I will be ok.
Filter housing o-rings: amzn.to/2IAzjQj & amzn.to/2UnomUH do you have the parts number for the cvt filter housing : 2 o rings? (one big , one small) the amzn links provided is not longer linking to the right parts. thanks
Why? Because those are the type of people who needs someone to hold them by their hands and guide them, so they need directions......this video is right on the target.
@@dsdvbguutres5094 oh, and I really love your video on your channel on how to do this better. lol 😂 I’m being sarcastic incase you missed that too. lol 😂
Wow !! Never in my life thought there is a filter for the CVT transmissions !! Thank you this saves us a lot of money. Also I haven't seen no one else talk about this on tutorial mechanics !!
Great video! First time doing a Civic and didn't know the location. Only thing, and it's a little thing! You removed the positive terminal first - it might not happen to people but there's always a chance of a short. If you think of the Negative terminal as shoes and the Positive as your socks when you get home you take off your shoes first (Negative) and your socks last (Positive). When you leave you put on your socks first (Positive) and shoes last (Negative). That's how my old man taught me hah
@@MrRangerZr1...If it's not too late maybe you can put a note in video stating you goofed and negative should be disconnected first? I noticed that at the beginning thinking this guy doesn't know how to disconnect a battery? AND he's showing how to do this buried fluid filter?...In the end though it was a good "how to" especially no annoying music👍
You know what's weird... Before I was ever told this I always just did it this way as if I knew how energy flows without anyone saying a word. It was instinct and a weird one.
5 years later and this video is still holding up. What everyone else said and you don't play music of any kind. Thank you. It is so much easier to focus on the video.
Wow had Honda dealership technicians tell me there was no filter for the trans... I changed the cvt fluid myself at 55k. Will be doing another change soon with the filter change. Thank you for making this video.
@juniorgonzalez48322 you definitely broke your transmission is that’s all the fluid you used. You must add until the fluid comes out the overflow. Warm car up, go through the gears, and then add fluid again until it comes out the overflow.
You make everything look so simple, and best of all no talking love it! Going to attempt to change this out myself with this tutorial I’m confident I can do this myself, thank you 👍
2015 Honda Civic cvt, done at 75k miles. First I practiced how to remove battery holder, and the next day I went through whole process. I dropped bolts and sockets but easy to recover.

I changed mine at 100k and it was black. I change my fluid every year so 15-20k. I never knew about the filter. I’m gonna change the filter every 50k. It’s like 20-25 bucks for the rings and the filter. Cheaper then a transmission. Mr ranger is a hero. The dealers are telling everyone you can’t change it lmao. I changed mine in less then 30 mins.
Great video. Thanks Honda design engineers for making it so difficult to change the filter. Seems to me they could have made it a little easier. I do oil changes, transmission fluid, brakes, wheel hubs....but this seems like more work than I want to do. Too many things to take off just to get to the filter. I personally would drain/fill tranny @30k and 60k, skip this filter. At 90k drain/fill and pay the crooks at the dealershit to do the filter. Although, who knows if they will actually change it. On a 2010 civic, with the automatic tranny, I have never changed the filter. It has 240k on it. I think the key is to get the crud out frequently by doing short drain intervals. On that Civic, I do 20k-30k drain and fill. Have done it since new and the tranny is thanking me for it. Only costs me $30 to do this. I don't understand why people don't do simple maintenance to keep their cars running in top form.
@@Kaywonlee I think all V6 are. If I had a V6, I would cough up the 750 at the dealer to do it. Watched a few videos of Lexus V6 get plugs done. I don't have the attention span to keep track off all that shit you take off.
Glad I'm finding out about this filter at 30 thousand miles doesn't seem like the dealers like to acknowledge this filter just gonna do it myself ive changed changed fluid on on zf8 speed from a bmw it was a hell of a job especially with how you have to run through the gears which is impossible unless you have a lift this seems a lot easier found a good deal on fluid for 5 quarts and gonna buy this filter
Thanks you so much for this video because I never knew about this . I have a Honda Civic 2015 lx with 140k km. I’ll definitely change it soon with the help of this video.
Your video is excellent! I tried to follow these steps in replacing the same CVT fluid warmer filter on my Honda HR-V. All went well until I tried to loosen the 2 bolts underneath the steel battery tray. I could see them with a dental mirror and flashlight, so I know they exist. However, I don't think Houdini could access them. I finally gave up and put everything back together. Any ideas? I would love a video on this!
Just need to get creative with your extensions. Use wobble extensions. And you shouldn't have to completely remove some of the bolts, just loosen it and see if the tray slides out.
I can't believe I had technicians tell me there's no transmission filter on my Civic 2015, should've double checked myself. I recently did a transmission fluid change, should I just replace the filter now or wait for the next transmission fluid change to do it? My car has around 55K miles. Great video btw!
You didn't get much fluid come out when you took apart the head, I'm assuming because it's at a higher location than where all the fluid is stored which would be at the pan below ?
How often should the filter be replaced? We lease our cars, 2019 civic and 2019 fit. Bet the dealer doesn't do it, the filter appeared to be quit dirty, how many miles on it. Liked the video, no long winded b
Just got this done this morning, along with the fluid change. How many qrts do u sually use to fill? Mine took 3 qrts & the fill plug was already over flowing. I did the pcv valve yesterday & the car was already running better. thnx for all your videos!
i drove it to work & removed the fill plug at ground level, got maybe 1/2 of the 4th qrt in & it started overflowing, i was not trying to force the rest in.
Awesome video, but I've got a question, after replacing everything and putting up again all the parts, it is okey to start up the engine, still with the old tranmission oil?
Excellent video. Why the negative terminal of the battery is so crowded? I mean what's that "switch like" thing on negative terminal of battery? Thanks.
Can you also do a complete tran flush that way too, if so which hose should be disconnected to pump out old fluid. I am sure we love to see that video from you so PLEASE MAKE ONE.
No ATF flush on Honda transmissions specially! Drain and fill only. If you want you, can change 2-3 times with some driving in between, but no flushing. Video of changing the ATF is on my channel.
@@MrRangerZr1I think he's talking about disconnecting one of the hoses and running the car to flush the fluid out using the car's own pump, not about hooking it up to a flush machine.
Great vid man. When do you recommend replacing the filter? There is nothing in the service interval advising to replace the CVT filter. How bad was the one that came out?
The filter in the video had 60k miles, it was in OK condition. I would recommend changing it around 60k miles. Most importantly, you must have clean transmission fluid. Change the fluid every 25k-30k miles. So, I would change the filter every 60k miles or every other transmission fluid change. It's cheap insurance to keep your CVT going for a long time. I always tell people "Motors/transmission are expensive, but oil/filters are cheap"
@@MrRangerZr1 thank you very much for your help, you will know where it is located, because I already tried to locate it and not I find the oil cooler, although my civic hybrid is CVT transmission, greetings my dear
Hi sir....just want to ask..when u remove the battery,then reinstall it back,is any resetting the ecu or whatever light will be blinking on the dash..? or just the watch and the stereo will be affected? thanks alot sir.. honda HRV 2016 the best maintainance video ever
Should the transmission oil be drained before removing the cover and the filter, or is it not necessary because there will be no major leaks when changing the filter?
How much fluid comes out? I’m not due for a fluid change, but I want to change the filter. Will enough come out that I’ll need to buy and add more fluid too?
Do you have to drain the transmission fluid to do change the filter or can you do it without having to do so? I'm asking since I plan to change the filter out after I can get the 2 orings for the cvt warmer but my honda dealer didn't have it in stock.
on my14 honda civic with 140k miles. Dealer said no filter. So I have only been doing drain and fill every 30k miles. Hope I didnt do any damage by not replacing filter. And diconnecting battery did any dash lights stay on after disconnecting.
@@MrRangerZr1 I changed every 30k miles and now at 140k miles. I am leary of disconnecting battery and messing all the electronic memories up. If I dont change can i cloug up and block fluid flow. I would change it if not for having to remove battery.
what do you think about changing to valvoline cvt fluid? also i noticed when i recently changed the oil, i got back just over 3 qrts but i have no leaks, im at 111,000 miles im gonna change the pcv valve, do u recommend any more service i sgould look into at this milage? I just did the coolant & oil, have the trans filter im just debating on switching to valvoline cvt or not.
@@BURN.365 no stick to honda hcf-2 only on these. Just go over the car and spot any leaks and such. If it’s a used car you just got, then I would change all of the fluids.
ive had it since just under 60,000 miles i did the honda hcf 2 fluid drain & fill once, but i didnt know there was a filter. but ill stick w the honda fluid thnx 4 ur advice.
Great Vid! Thank you for pointing this out to me, I never realized it had a filter... my question is: The owners manual doesn't specify this as a maintenance item. So is this filter just to be changed on a CVT rebuild only? Otherwise Honda engineers would of put in the the maintenance notes in the manual. I'm not saying "NOT" to change it because it's simple to change. I think it's a non serviceable item (unless the CVT is rebuilt) and it's not a requirement by Honda I do know you have to keep the CVT fluid changed every 25k.
Some things honda doesn't recommend but to get the most out of your car, you need to do them. You don't always need to change the filter, if you care about your car, change the filter every 60k-90k miles. Little time and money spent now will save you thousands down the road.
Manufacturers don't recommend these types of service so they can tout low cost if ownership. Someone with average mechanical abilities can do this. Transmissions have the higher failure rates than motors. This just makes sense.
My 2015 civic shows on the dash at 100k miles, when i looked it up in the manual it actually does say to replace transmission fluid and filter. It also says that the work needs to be done by a certified Honda tech but eff them.
@@MrRangerZr1 Good to know; in the future it could help to show the diameter measurement of the O-rings to assure the new ones are the same size prior to installing
No you have the regular 5 speed auto transmission. You have the same filter as the CRV and odyssey ATF filter video I have on my channel. Yours is somewhere under the intake box.
@@MrRangerZr1 thanks for the answer, and yes, I already Saw your vídeo of the Odyssey, but exactly where in the transmision filter for the Civic 2012, 1.8 ltrs, automatic? Greetings
Thanks for the info. My question is I have 2015 Honda Fit with the cvt, and I couldn’t find any info on Honda parts website that the filter exists. I would think that most of the cvt transmissions are similarly designed, and I would assume their is a filter for the fit as well. If I find out next cvt fluid change that their is a filter, where would I find the part number, since I can’t find one on Honda’s parts website?
Honda Part No.: 25450-P4V-013 this is for the filter. Honda Part No.: 91305-PN4-003 this is for the o-ring that goes inside with the filter. Honda Part No.: 91302-5T0-003 Honda Part No.: 91303-5T0-003 These last two are the other two orings you need. I have a 2019 Fit and will be changing out soon.
@@metzmatu8409 I think Civic is fuel efficient, so till near 200k miles it is ok with no filter change. But changing each 100k miles should be desirable.
Don’t know if someone has asked this before, sorry if you answered already. How often should I do this on a 2014 Accord Sport? Every drain and fill (30k miles) or this can go longer?
@MrRangerZr1 I have a 2019 Honda City CVT at 30k miles- so I gave my dad the car to take to the mechanic(don't judge me) and the guy said the CVT filter is built-in and doesn't need changing for now. How correct is He? Should I be worried?
I drained the cvt and changed the filter and o rings then put everything back together. After filling trans fluid and running through gears, I have a leak that seems to be coming from filter housing. Should I take it apart and try re fitting the housing again? Do I need to drain it again, or can I do this without draining? Also I put 4qts in and no fluid came out the check hole. Should I put more in especially now that it had a leak after I changed the filter?
@@MrRangerZr1 thanks a ton bro love your content My car is vibrating a lot, took it to a mechanic and confirmed the engine mount and the transmission mount were shot How difficult is it too replace the transmission mount if we have the tools and can you please provide stupid and tips to get it done P.s love your videos
About a month ago, I had the CVT fluid changed in my 2019 Civic EX. I don’t remember seeing a filter a s one of the parts on the invoice. Would the filter be automatically changed during this service or should I have specifically requested it?
thanks again for this.. when reassembling, how bad is it if I didn't tighten to the specified toque lbs for the bolt that holds the hose in position, and for the ground bolt? I kinda just tightened them as tight as I could with a normal socket wrench without being excessive.. The car has been shifting like a dream, but it has had a couple electrical issues, like the alarm going off randomly the morning after the job, and the "door open" warning falsely triggering while driving a few days later.
Another great vid. Should I replace the filter without replacing the housing o-rings? The links to purchase the housing o-rings show a "no result page" on Amazon. Thanks.
If the link says no results then you need to go to the dealership to order the o-rings. Change the gaskets when replacing the filter. One on my viewers didn't change the o-rings and ended up with a oil leak mess.
My 2015 Civic has 102k fluid/filter has never been changed, CVT still works fine. Do we know if CVT’s are sensitive like geared automatics where they might have issues after high mileage fluid is changed?
Seth_ ej7 no gears in a CVT only a belt and pulley system. Some CVT’s do have a gear for first gear while others are electronic not entirely sure which method Honda uses on their CVT but you should be fine changing the fluid. Just use the drain and fill method
Seth_ ej7 what I don’t understand is that a CVT has no gears and less moving parts, so why does it need to be changed more often (if at all) than a geared transmission? I’ve NEVER changed transmission fluid in any vehicle I’ve ever owned, and I don’t expect to have to do it in my current car (18 CRV LX). I’ve never had transmission problems either.
Babbles P From my understanding CVTs don’t need fluid changes more often than geared trans for that reason, every 50-75k miles should be good. But like geared transmissions there’s still metal and clutch material that builds up in the fluid, it just takes longer with CVTs. Most people can likely get away without changing it since most get rid of their car by 100k miles, the 200k+ folks are typically the ones you’ll see doing the fluids changes.
Hey awesome video thank you for showing me reinstall steps helps alot for first timers like me i appreciate it. Do you install filter then change fluid?
Hey MrRangerZr1, I am in the process of purchasing the parts and tools necessary to switch out the filter, however, I wanted your recommendation/opinion on what torque wrench I should buy? There are many inch drives and brands, but want the one that would be most useful for your Honda (we have the same one), especially the one used in this video and the transmission fluid change. Thank you and keep up the good work!

@@MrRangerZr1I think he's talking about disconnecting one of the hoses and running the car to flush the fluid out using the car's own pump, not about hooking it up to a flush machine.
@@homuraakemi9556even that don't do
Awesome video, I'm wondering if it is similar for a 2016 HRV I just got for my daughter.
Actually it is. It has the same powertrain as the civic.
@@MrRangerZr1 awesome, thanks. 😊
It is possible to change the transmission filter without removing the battery and stuff but this does make it easier
You have to remove the battery and tray
@@MrRangerZr1 I did it to my 2016 civic coupe. Not saying it was fun. It probably would have been easier removing the battery and tray
Great vid man. When do you recommend replacing the filter? There is nothing in the service interval advising to replace the CVT filter. How bad was the one that came out?
I was going to ask the same question.
I didn't know it existed
The filter in the video had 60k miles, it was in OK condition. I would recommend changing it around 60k miles. Most importantly, you must have clean transmission fluid. Change the fluid every 25k-30k miles. So, I would change the filter every 60k miles or every other transmission fluid change.
It's cheap insurance to keep your CVT going for a long time. I always tell people "Motors/transmission are expensive, but oil/filters are cheap"
@You Wish in the pan is a screen, this filter catches smaller particles.
I didn't know that there was a cvt filter. Thanks for the info.
Hello, excellent video, will you know if the CIVIC HYBRIDO 2013 has the video filter? Greetings and thank you very much
if it has the same CVT yes
@@MrRangerZr1 thank you very much for your help, you will know where it is located, because I already tried to locate it and not I find the oil cooler, although my civic hybrid is CVT transmission, greetings my dear
So you have an easy serviceable filter near the radiator. Your setup is kind of like this video: ruclips.net/video/93kxZDPc18k/видео.html
@@MrRangerZr1 thank you very much my friend
Hello
I appreciate your video.
I was wondering if this procedure applies to 2017 civic 1.5 turbo.
Yes it can
Honda doesn’t have this filter as a serviceable item or item that needs to be replaced but good info thou..
Very very good I don’t see before thank you
Hi sir....just want to ask..when u remove the battery,then reinstall it back,is any resetting the ecu or whatever light will be blinking on the dash..?
or just the watch and the stereo will be affected?
thanks alot sir..
honda HRV 2016
the best maintainance video ever
No reset needed just adjust the clock if needed.
@@MrRangerZr1 thanks alot sir..
Should the transmission oil be drained before removing the cover and the filter, or is it not necessary because there will be no major leaks when changing the filter?
no need to drain oil first
How much fluid comes out? I’m not due for a fluid change, but I want to change the filter. Will enough come out that I’ll need to buy and add more fluid too?
It's a small amount but doesn't hurt to check the level afterwards
Do you have to drain the transmission fluid to do change the filter or can you do it without having to do so? I'm asking since I plan to change the filter out after I can get the 2 orings for the cvt warmer but my honda dealer didn't have it in stock.
You don't need to drain the fluid
Hi, is similar for my Honda Civic LX 2015 1.8cc engine with CVT?
Same exact :)
Great video i will trie this on the week end
on my14 honda civic with 140k miles. Dealer said no filter. So I have only been doing drain and fill every 30k miles. Hope I didnt do any damage by not replacing filter. And diconnecting battery did any dash lights stay on after disconnecting.
You're fine. Clean fluid is more important than the filter. You can change the filter now if you want to.
@@MrRangerZr1 I changed every 30k miles and now at 140k miles. I am leary of disconnecting battery and messing all the electronic memories up. If I dont change can i cloug up and block fluid flow. I would change it if not for having to remove battery.
How often do u need to replace this filter i didnt even know there was a filter there and whats the filter for?? New subscriber👍
around 100k miles is good
you make it look too easy nice job does a 2017 Honda CRV have a cvt filter?
Yes
At what milage should you change the fluid in your rear differential? Can you make a video on that? Thank you 4 ur content it helps alot!
Civic is FWD
what do you think about changing to valvoline cvt fluid?
also i noticed when i recently changed the oil, i got back just over 3 qrts but i have no leaks, im at 111,000 miles im gonna change the pcv valve, do u recommend any more service i sgould look into at this milage? I just did the coolant & oil, have the trans filter im just debating on switching to valvoline cvt or not.
@@BURN.365 no stick to honda hcf-2 only on these. Just go over the car and spot any leaks and such. If it’s a used car you just got, then I would change all of the fluids.
ive had it since just under 60,000 miles i did the honda hcf 2 fluid drain & fill once, but i didnt know there was a filter. but ill stick w the honda fluid thnx 4 ur advice.
Great Vid! Thank you for pointing this out to me, I never realized it had a filter... my question is: The owners manual doesn't specify this as a maintenance item. So is this filter just to be changed on a CVT rebuild only? Otherwise Honda engineers would of put in the the maintenance notes in the manual. I'm not saying "NOT" to change it because it's simple to change. I think it's a non serviceable item (unless the CVT is rebuilt) and it's not a requirement by Honda I do know you have to keep the CVT fluid changed every 25k.
Some things honda doesn't recommend but to get the most out of your car, you need to do them. You don't always need to change the filter, if you care about your car, change the filter every 60k-90k miles. Little time and money spent now will save you thousands down the road.
Manufacturers don't recommend these types of service so they can tout low cost if ownership. Someone with average mechanical abilities can do this. Transmissions have the higher failure rates than motors. This just makes sense.
My 2015 civic shows on the dash at 100k miles, when i looked it up in the manual it actually does say to replace transmission fluid and filter. It also says that the work needs to be done by a certified Honda tech but eff them.
@@MrRangerZr1 Since my 2016 Honda Accord has a CVT Transmission it should be the same right?
Brad Helfrich yes
Great vid, but can you clarify the O-rings?
A lot of the links provided lead to dead ends and don't seem to be the correct ones
Amazon probably doesn't have them in stock atm. If you click the links, you'll see the part numbers in the search bar.
@@MrRangerZr1 Good to know; in the future it could help to show the diameter measurement of the O-rings to assure the new ones are the same size prior to installing
Fantastic instructions. Thank you.
Good friend, thanks for vídeo. This process applies to a 2012 Civic sedan, 1.8 lts? Regards
No you have the regular 5 speed auto transmission. You have the same filter as the CRV and odyssey ATF filter video I have on my channel. Yours is somewhere under the intake box.
@@MrRangerZr1 thanks for the answer, and yes, I already Saw your vídeo of the Odyssey, but exactly where in the transmision filter for the Civic 2012, 1.8 ltrs, automatic? Greetings
@@yeimialejandroavelino4009 on top of the transmission
Nice video is this for a 2015 Honda Civic
yes
Hrv same right 2016?
Yes
Thanks for the info. My question is I have 2015 Honda Fit with the cvt, and I couldn’t find any info on Honda parts website that the filter exists. I would think that most of the cvt transmissions are similarly designed, and I would assume their is a filter for the fit as well. If I find out next cvt fluid change that their is a filter, where would I find the part number, since I can’t find one on Honda’s parts website?
Uses the same filter but different o-rings. Check with your dealer.
Honda Part No.: 25450-P4V-013 this is for the filter.
Honda Part No.: 91305-PN4-003 this is for the o-ring that goes inside with the filter.
Honda Part No.: 91302-5T0-003
Honda Part No.: 91303-5T0-003
These last two are the other two orings you need. I have a 2019 Fit and will be changing out soon.
Honda recommend this filter to be change only shen the CVT tranmission have problem. Which it strange...
@@metzmatu8409 I think Civic is fuel efficient, so till near 200k miles it is ok with no filter change. But changing each 100k miles should be desirable.
What was the liquid underneath the battery?
water from rain or something
Awesome! Thank you very much!
Thank you for four fast responce.
Don’t know if someone has asked this before, sorry if you answered already. How often should I do this on a 2014 Accord Sport? Every drain and fill (30k miles) or this can go longer?
Every 30k-40k miles for the fluid and 100k for the filter
thanks for the video, do you have to change the o rings?
My o-rings at 60k miles were good. It depends on mileage. I would get them in case.
Great Video! Do I need to drain the fluid to change the filter?
No
@@MrRangerZr1 Thanks
Does the Honda HR-V, 2016 CVT also has a filter. The honda service centre only replaced the oil and never mentioned if it has a filter as well.
Yes has the same cvt
@@MrRangerZr1 oh I see, so it too has a cvt oil filter at the same location ?
@@irfan-106 it has the same powertrain so yes
@@MrRangerZr1 Thank you
@MrRangerZr1 I have a 2019 Honda City CVT at 30k miles- so I gave my dad the car to take to the mechanic(don't judge me) and the guy said the CVT filter is built-in and doesn't need changing for now. How correct is He? Should I be worried?
You need don't to worry about the filter now, just change the fluid now.
Is that filter only for the civic? I have a 2017 Honda Accord LX, can I get that same filter for it? Great video btw! Straight to the point! 👍🏼
same filter
I drained the cvt and changed the filter and o rings then put everything back together. After filling trans fluid and running through gears, I have a leak that seems to be coming from filter housing. Should I take it apart and try re fitting the housing again? Do I need to drain it again, or can I do this without draining? Also I put 4qts in and no fluid came out the check hole. Should I put more in especially now that it had a leak after I changed the filter?
I performed the whole process again but this time had a torque wrench. 20ft lbs is a lot more than I tightened it before. No more leaking.. for now..
Could of been residual fluid or the orings probably got pinched. To check the fluid, the car has to be warmed up and level.
Just wondering, do you need to top off the fluid after changing the filter?
It's a very small amount but doesnt hurt to check
Replacing transmission mount requires to remove battery and it's bracket?
Or just air box needs to be removed?
Both has to come out
@@MrRangerZr1 thanks a ton bro love your content
My car is vibrating a lot, took it to a mechanic and confirmed the engine mount and the transmission mount were shot
How difficult is it too replace the transmission mount if we have the tools and can you please provide stupid and tips to get it done
P.s love your videos
It's easy. Just don't strip the bolts. Use OEM parts!
About a month ago, I had the CVT fluid changed in my 2019 Civic EX. I don’t remember seeing a filter a s one of the parts on the invoice. Would the filter be automatically changed during this service or should I have specifically requested it?
Honda won't do that service, they'll say there's no filter. You can change the filter around 100k miles but change the fluid every 30k or so
@@MrRangerZr1 Ok, I'll do that! I was thinking it was like an oil change where you use a new oil filter filter with each oil change. Thanks!
Well. I have 130k on my '16. Think it's bout time to change that bad boy and let you know how it looks
DKP Productions 130? Holy shit! I have 25k on my 2016 civic 😳😳😳
Bruh ialready got 18k on my 2020 🤣
u guys r crazy i only have 30,290 miles on my 2018!!
So the inside part is only pure oil? Coolant will not leak if you don’t remove the hose?
If you remove the coolant hoses yes it will leak
thanks again for this.. when reassembling, how bad is it if I didn't tighten to the specified toque lbs for the bolt that holds the hose in position, and for the ground bolt? I kinda just tightened them as tight as I could with a normal socket wrench without being excessive.. The car has been shifting like a dream, but it has had a couple electrical issues, like the alarm going off randomly the morning after the job, and the "door open" warning falsely triggering while driving a few days later.
You should be fine.
Alarm is most likely being triggered by a faulty door plunger ruclips.net/video/umjGq5q7hMM/видео.html
Another great vid. Should I replace the filter without replacing the housing o-rings? The links to purchase the housing o-rings show a "no result page" on Amazon. Thanks.
If the link says no results then you need to go to the dealership to order the o-rings. Change the gaskets when replacing the filter. One on my viewers didn't change the o-rings and ended up with a oil leak mess.
@@MrRangerZr1 I will definitely change the gaskets. Thanks for all the help.
hi
will it be the same process on a 2017 civic lx
dealer told me 2017 transmission does not have a filter
It does
Not sure if you got it sorted out, but the filter is underneath the air intake in the 10th gen I believe
2 filters. One as per this video, the other one you have to drop the the CVT drip pan to replace.
@@metzmatu8409 have you done it? Is it a very hard task?
Great video. Mine is a hybrid.would the filter be in the same location?
What's the year and trim model of your civic?
MrRangerZr1 mine is a 2009 Civic hybrid automatic CVT. Thanks
I don't think it's in the same location, uses a different CVT than this civic in the video.
Do you need to drain the transmission fluid in order to change the filter?
No
Great info, thanks!
How about Honda HRV , filter is the same pn
yes o-rings may be different
My 2015 Civic has 102k fluid/filter has never been changed, CVT still works fine. Do we know if CVT’s are sensitive like geared automatics where they might have issues after high mileage fluid is changed?
Seth_ ej7 no gears in a CVT only a belt and pulley system. Some CVT’s do have a gear for first gear while others are electronic not entirely sure which method Honda uses on their CVT but you should be fine changing the fluid. Just use the drain and fill method
Just change it now. Honda uses belt.
Seth_ ej7 what I don’t understand is that a CVT has no gears and less moving parts, so why does it need to be changed more often (if at all) than a geared transmission?
I’ve NEVER changed transmission fluid in any vehicle I’ve ever owned, and I don’t expect to have to do it in my current car (18 CRV LX). I’ve never had transmission problems either.
Babbles P From my understanding CVTs don’t need fluid changes more often than geared trans for that reason, every 50-75k miles should be good. But like geared transmissions there’s still metal and clutch material that builds up in the fluid, it just takes longer with CVTs. Most people can likely get away without changing it since most get rid of their car by 100k miles, the 200k+ folks are typically the ones you’ll see doing the fluids changes.
Outstanding video! What is your estimate for amount of fluid loss? Thanks.
Not sure exact amount but very little. You can check the level by using the check bolt.
Hey awesome video thank you for showing me reinstall steps helps alot for first timers like me i appreciate it. Do you install filter then change fluid?
Nighty Nine doesn’t really matter.
Good video r the honda civic 2011 lx 1.8 have the same filter I can not find it
juan caceres yours is different it’s a regular transmission not CVT
Hello! I Have 2014 Civic EX with 83k miles, do you recommend to do this for the first time with this amount of mileage?
Christian Morales sure
MrRangerZr1 So how often 2014’s Civic’s CVT filter needs to change? Thank you!
@@MrDancermgl I'd say when either when the fluid is changed if you do it like every 20k or maybe like every 3rd oil change or something like that
Hey MrRangerZr1, I am in the process of purchasing the parts and tools necessary to switch out the filter, however, I wanted your recommendation/opinion on what torque wrench I should buy? There are many inch drives and brands, but want the one that would be most useful for your Honda (we have the same one), especially the one used in this video and the transmission fluid change. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Bogarth Roy will you be doing suspension work or just engine work?
@@MrRangerZr1 Engine work
Then a 3/8" drive torque wrench will be good enough. For torque values below 20 lbf.ft, I would use a 1/4" torque wrench.
