Great Video! One observation though. Based on the documentations that I've read, after changing the transmission fluid, you should start the vehicle, press and hold the brake pedal while you move the gear lever through all gears (P,R,N,D,S) holding it for about 3 seconds in each gear. Then you switch it back into Park, turn the vehicle off and check the fluid level at the check bolt.

Thank u

@FlyBeee 3 года назад

This is an excellent point! Thanks for bringing it up. A drain & fill doesn't remove fluid in the torque converter but the new fluid has strong detergent properties and therefore important to mix it with the existing fluid and check fluid level at warm/operating temperatures. Thanks so much for your detailed comment and feedback! Best wishes

@tehxii7706 2 года назад

So in theory you don't need to measure how much you drain out. Just fill until it check bolt starts to leak. This seams like a pretty solid concept.

@FlyBeee 2 года назад

Yes, in theory if you are planning to use check bolt to measure the fluid over/under status then don't need to measure the fluid. However, If you are hurry and can't access fluid level check bolt then easy to just measure the fluid that came out and refill with the same quantity.

@Pete3499 3 года назад

I was able to open the check bolt from above, no need to jack up. You should note that it is best to check the level while the car is level. Mine had no excess fluid at all; which is why I plan on adding a bit more. I put four litres in and there was no excess which leads me to believe it was under-filled (from previous service/dealer). I should have only needed the 4 litres as Honda states only 3.7 litre required for the drain and fill change. I did have to jack it up to drain as the drain bolt was so tight I needed more space to break the nut loose. Perhaps it is why I need a bit more fluid? Regardless it is important to check and make sure the level is correct for the best life out of the CVT. Great video.

@FlyBeee 3 года назад

Thanks so much for your feedback and success at opening the check bolt from above. I will try it out from above the next time I change fluid! :) A flat level surface is definitely important to check fluid level. If drain plug was factory tight it must be really tough to open for the first time but should be easy from here on out. It is easily accessible by laying down in front of the car so no need to lift the vehicle after this first time. Saves ton of time! My drain & fills take no more than 10 mins on all Honda vehicles. You mentioned the fluid is not at top level even after using all 4 quarts of new fluid. How much more did you add after 4qts? Most fluids/oil levels are okay within a high-low range but shouldn't be over-filled especially transmission fluid. Please double-check fluid level at operating temps just to be safe. Best wishes, and thanks again for your detailed feedback!

@Pete3499 3 года назад

@@FlyBeee Hey I added about a quarter to a third of another bottle of cvt fluid, ran the engine till warm (10-15 min) and then checked it again, this time almost the same amount I put it came out. It must have been right on the very edge of the check line but I wanted to be safe. I let it drain until it was a slow drop then put the check bolt back. I did this a few days after I posted. Been driving a few 1000 km since then and everything is running perfect.

@FlyBeee 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing the details! Have you done another drain & fill after the first one?

@Pete3499 3 года назад

@@FlyBeee I have not, there was no problems with my CVT and the Honda manual did not specifically mention doing it more than once at a time. I have read and seen some people do three with the idea in mind it would flush most of the old fluid out and leave you with mostly new fluid. I don't think it is necessary, so I will not bother with another drain and fill until its recommend. I think I have driven 10,000 km since the change and so far it's running perfect as it should.

@FlyBeee 3 года назад

@@Pete3499 The CVT transmission holds little over 8 quarts of fluid, and honda recommends to replace transmission fluid when Maintenance Minder says to do it. Keyword here is 'replace' fluid. One drain and fill replaces less than 4 quarts. Additional drain and fills help to replace the remaining dirty fluid. This model of Accord has a known issue with CVT transmission and Honda issued a TSB about it in mid 2016. Transmissions are expensive to rebuild or replace but fluids are much cheaper in comparison. Whether you do additional drain and fills or not is your decision. Mine is only one perspective and I hope the info I have shared adds to your knowledge base. Best wishes!

@JohnS-il1dr Год назад

Can't I just check the level by substituting the fill cap on top with a makeshift dipstick. Honda getting rid of the dipstick was a stupid idea. Nobody has time for all this crap just to check. Next thing is that they will get rid of oil dipstick as well.

@FlyBeee Год назад

Yea, Honda made it more difficult to check fluid level - it was so easy on older models. I have not tried this idea to use makeshift dipstick so not sure if this will work. Other option is to measure how much fluid drained out and then refill with the same quantity, but definitely measure the fluid fluid level of original fluid to be sure you are not over/under filling.

@itsyanielxo Год назад

@@FlyBeee ok but what if the transmission was left leaking for a week??? I cracked my oil pan and it was still leaking transmission fluid even at the week mark. What the EXACT capacity for the CVT trans. I’m not talking about the 4 quarts that it comes out and you refill. I’m talking about the EXACT capacity that it takes to refill it back up form zero. Cause I know it ain’t no 4 quartz. I’m having slippage and gear issues when I wasn’t before even after putting 4 quarts of actual OEM genuine Honda oil. Is this because it needs more oil ????

@69indian70 3 года назад

Nice clear explanation. I can't fathom why Honda didn't just provide a dipstick. I am wondering if checking the fluid while the auto is jacked up would tend to give a false reading? Also, the plug can be accessed from above without being raised.

@FlyBeee 3 года назад

Thank you! Excellent questions, and I agree with all of them. No idea why Honda decided to Complicate the fluid change process. I appreciate your feedback!

@cm1133 2 года назад

You must run the engine until the engine fans check on a second time to ensure the vehicle is at optimal temperature before you check the level of your transmission fluid. Honda HCF-2 expands when warm/hot.

@jamescc2010 Год назад

Good tip. Applicable for 2018 accord too?

@HistoricalWeapons 8 месяцев назад

If the check bolt is loose would it still drip overtime (drain bolt tight)? Even if there is less transmission fluid than designed?

@FlyBeee 8 месяцев назад

Considering the low-level location of the check bolt, if daily driving involves vehicle going up/down hill or driveways, or bumping over speed bump, it is very possible that transmission fluid will likely leak out of the lose check bolt.

@jimmyulloa3957 2 года назад

With the car lifted up and warmed up I opened the check bolt and a little bit drained out . Is that okay that the car is lifted to see if the check bolt is dripping ?

@FlyBeee 2 года назад

Fluid levels are considered 'good' while in a range and the reason the dip-stick on fluids has 'high' and 'low' marker and as long as fluid is in that range you are okay. Honda recommends to check level when car is horizontal. One option is to lift both the front and back of vehicle, or, if front of car was lifted to open the check bolt then lower the car to complete the drain. If using jack stands then lift the car on the lowest level of jack stand and close the check bolt when all four tires are on the ground. There is enough ground clearance under vehicle that you can lay in front of vehicle and reach in to open/close and tighten the check bolt - which is what I do this with my Accord.

One of the domino effects of PCV valve going bad is it caused the engine seals to leak dripped down to Transmission and the dirt when sticks to oil several caused stains. I changed the PCV valve (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ABNOLxH7kh0.html ) and now do more frequent oil changes and this resolved the oil consumption problem and now there is no leakage.I hope this helps.

For your Accord at 104K miles, I would personally recommend you change the transmission fluid. Your fluid should still be doing its job well, but is likely starting to get a little tired. After that, I would recommend changing it again every 30K miles (so 134K, 164K, etc. in your case).

Hey can you help my 2017 Honda accord sport was running fine no issues. No check engine light no leaks no hard idling . But all of a sudden my car will not move in drive or reverse

@FlyBeee 3 месяца назад

start and let it warm up for a couple mins then change gear to Drive or Reverse. The CVT transmission works strange ways and is usually not responsive when the vehicle starts at cold.

Hey, I bought a 2013 accord with 104k miles on it. I sure is never had the transmission oil change before. Can you please advice me whether to do it now or leave it as it is.???

@FlyBeee 3 месяца назад

Good question. I answered this Q in detail in the description of my other video. See this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H0iv4Kl0ok4.html

Do it I bought a 2013 2.4l 123,000 and talked to a mechanic at honda he said if it was his he would do it and also that that the 4 cylinder transmission are a little more forgiven if not done when supposed to they also said just do the fluid they only change the filter on top if it's giving you problems

Engine running or not?

@FlyBeee Год назад

Engine not running while checking fluid level.

@pedrocisneros5370 3 года назад

So this fluid level check is with the vehicle off???

@FlyBeee 3 года назад

Yes, with vehicle off. Thanks for mentioning this.

@user-wq5ws1qs7x 2 года назад

You may want to look into that. Every video says to turn on the car, cycle through the gears, then immediately do the check.

Did you put 3.75 quart with filter or without?

@FlyBeee 3 года назад

I put 3.75 quart of transmission fluid without replacing the filter..

@zkmoonea 3 года назад

it's not like you can change the filter while you are doing transmission fluid change. the filter is under the battery bay and takes some procedures to do.

@FlyBeee 3 года назад

@@zkmoonea Yep, that's true! If we keep transmission fluid clean by regular drain/fill at about 15 K miles it the transmission fluid filter will stay clean and may not need to be replaced.

@SHA3BOL1 3 года назад

One time I changed my transmission fluid without it's filter nothing changed a week later I changed it with filter there was a huge difference in acceleration

@FlyBeee 3 года назад

@@SHA3BOL1 Thanks so much for the feedback. I will look into changing the filter. Best wishes!

@mattbova1138 2 года назад

Do you check it hot or cold

@FlyBeee 2 года назад

Check the fluid level when engine is still warm. If you changed the fluid when car is on jack stands, after you drain & fill the fluid start the car and shift it gears, turn it off and then check fluid level. If fluid is changed when car is on ground, after drain and fill take the car for a short ride, come back and check fluid level. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

Hi I dont understand why they made Hondas this way .I am a Female and I cannot check My new Honda. My Hubby cant either.. I really like the car. Buttt...My Gosh.

@FlyBeee 2 года назад

I was surprised this Accord does not have a dip-stick to check transmission fluid level - all my other older Hondas had one. My only guess (not confirmed by Honda) is that Honda engineers made this and other changes to reduce vehicle weight to get better fuel economy. This Accord does provide 30- 32 mpg on average so that's a positive, but it is a hassle to check transmission fluid level. If you are doing fluid changes at home look for Jack stands. Walmart and Amazon has 3-Ton jack stands are on sale right now for $30 (typically $50-$80)
