Finally someone that don’t make an entire speech on how to do it and instead do the Job without having to speak a word!!!! Thank you!!!!!

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.

Why in the world would anyone dislike this Awesome Video!!! Many Thanks for taking the time to film it!!

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 !!

Every since maintenance I have done on my 14 civic exl and wife's 15 exl has been due to your videos. Amazing thanks!

Thank you for the great and crystal clear video. Loved it. No talks, no music and right to the point. 🙏👍

This is the best video for auto maintenance/repair I have ever seen on RU-vid and I have seen many. Even gives torque specs on fasteners.

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 👍

Been researching how to do this. BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN SO FAR. THANK YOU!

Excellent camera work, all the info you need, no more, no less - bravo!!!

Just did this today on my 2015 civic video is super helpful I gotta say you made it look easy some of the bolts took me some time getting too

Thank you for providing the links to the parts! Saves a lot of time

Scotty Kilmer talked about this video...so had to see it! He mentioned how not a word was spoken but it's a great how-to video for Honda owners!

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

One of the absolute BEST Instructional Videos ever! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

This is awesome MrRanger!! Looking forward to changing my filter.

Your video is amazing. I love you. Accord owner from Saudi Arabia

Straight to the point! Awesome!

Thank you very much for such a detailed straight forward video!

Wow excellent vid, straight to the point very educational!

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.

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

Simple and to the point! Thank You

Excellent tutorial video!!

Mr Ranger, you are the man. Subscribing right now.

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.

Great video i will trie this on the week end

Great info, thanks!

A new filter is always good 👌

Fantastic instructions. Thank you.

I didn't know that there was a cvt filter. Thanks for the info.

Great Video!

Thank you for four fast responce.

Thanks for the video 👍

Awesome! Thank you very much!

Very very good I don’t see before thank you

Muy buena la demostración del cambio de filtro. Cosas que los mecánicos en muchos casos ignoran.

Very good video thank you dude.

Great video, just remember to always take the negative cable off first just to be safe..

Great how to vid 👍

Thank you this great video...

Nice video ,thanks very much.

Superb video. Thanks.

I can't believe for the life of me that this video has 1 dislike let alone 60! WTF is going on with ppl that hit that thumbs down? Whatever it is thank heavens the majority of us don't have it! Great video, I appreciate the straight to it and no bs aspect of it! Thank you, keep rock-n-rollin !

You are the best!!!!

Thanks for showing you are awesome.

Someone give this man a raise

Great show.❤

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?

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!

Excellent!

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.

Amazing ❤.

Awesome!!

Excellent

Great video, is it possible that you can do a video for CVT filter change for Honda Accord 2013 also??

Yes sir dude...💯👍

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.

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! 👍🏼

thanks for the video, do you have to change the o rings?

Yo Ranger I've been watching you for 6 years. Love you. Question. I have a 2013 1.8L Civic LX. Is this the same process? I saw one video where they took the seats out.

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 ?

Tks dude.

superb video!!🎉 do you need to remove the old cvt fluid ?pour a new one?

you make it look too easy nice job does a 2017 Honda CRV have a cvt filter?

Excellent 👌. It's necessary to change the square filter inside?

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.

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!

Outstanding video! What is your estimate for amount of fluid loss? Thanks.

What year is this vehicle and is it a civic or accord? Awesome vid, just making sure I can do this on my 2016 civic 2.0 CVT

Awesome video, I'm wondering if it is similar for a 2016 HRV I just got for my daughter.

Great video. Straight to the point. Do you need to add fluid after replacing the filter?

Thanks

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!

Hey MrRangerZr1, I just switch out mine yesterday and was a little concerned about the fluid leakage you said would happen. Do I need to fill up what came out? I didnt measure it but my car doesnt seem to have any issues. I didnt change the O rings just the one that goes on the filter. What do you think?

I got my tranny filter on the way with the rings. The dealer always told me there was none. Total liars. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the vids. I’ve been trying to find a video on the belt moldings for a coupe and the Econ button bulb. I have those parts coming too.

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.

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

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!

It is possible to change the transmission filter without removing the battery and stuff but this does make it easier

Hello I appreciate your video. I was wondering if this procedure applies to 2017 civic 1.5 turbo.

Do you know if the accord 2017 sport has a filter for the cvt? Idk if you can. But is it possible you could do a video on how to change it. Thank you.

Great Video! Do I need to drain the fluid to change the filter?

Hey Ranger! I have a 2015 civic ex. I just got a great job as a bridge Inspector consulted out to the state of MD 2 yrs ago and use my car for the travel from home to job site. I put about 120k miles on it over the past 2 years. Never had any transmission work done and to top it off there was never a filler plug. So I can't imagine how much construction dust may have gotten in the system. Anyway, is there a recommendation for the car being hot or cold before doing the work? Thanks for posting this awesome video!

Do you have a video in changing the bulb in the Econ button? My bulb burned out but idk how to get it off.

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👍

@MrRangerZr1 Great videos, gonna do this next week to my civic. P.S. So i went to my local dealer today and ordered the o-rings and washers and 4 qt's of fluid. (surprisingly they didn't tell me the filter didn't exist lol maybe because i gave them part numbers) But if i change the fluid and the filter, will i need more than four quarts to refill??

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.

Hello, excellent video. Could you tell me the gear box name please? Thank you.

Great video. Mine is a hybrid.would the filter be in the same location?

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?

Any suggestion on how to get the bottom bolt of the filter housing (2:30) out? I tried like 5 times and can’t seem to get a good grip on it with my socket :/

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?

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.
