How to change your CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) Fluid in a 2014-2015 Honda Civic ( late 9th generation Civic 2014, 2015). NOTE: this is for CVT models only, on 2012-2013 this would be vary rare. The process would be very similar but the fluid would be different (ATF DW-1). Refer to your manual for the correct transmission fluid for your car, the PDF manuals are linked at the end of this description. This is a 2014 Honda Civic EX Sedan. Your transmission fluid change will be very similar. This will save you a lot of money and only takes about a half hour to replace yourself. I bought the CVT Fluid from a Honda Dealer for $12.47 a quart.
Tools:
Phillips Head Screw Driver
17MM Socket
3/8" Ratchet
Vehicle Ramps - amzn.to/3nw6ZRK
Parts:
4 quarts Honda HCF-2 CVT Fluid or equivalent
1 CVT Drain Bolt 18MM Washer

This guy is the ONLY one who got this CVT oil change right, as others I watched on here (maybe one did mention it) never even talked about the CHECK BOLT to check the fluid level! It’s a crude and strange way for Honda to resort to this method, but it is the same on the Accords I found out and as of 2019, hasn’t changed at all! I was nearly a quart short when I changed my 2014 Civic’s CVT fluid last year, as I measured the fluid I drained out, letting it drain completely and then found that nearly a quart was needed to get it to ovefilll and drain a bit from the check bolt. Not sure what this says, but I believe a lot of folks with new vehicles will have issues and maybe transmission repairs in future years. I suspect most people do not have this done as the dealer cost is high, and also there is the matter of a small CVT oil filter that requires taking the battery out and removing the entire battery compartment! I did this, and the damn filter (Fram) didn’t even fit right as the gasket was too big! But it all came together with some patience and motivation, and I did this first oil change at about 27k miles. Someone suggested changing the oil every 50k after the first drain and fill, which sounds right by all I know. My wife’s 2012 with its 5 speed trans is much easier and fairly simple by comparison. Thanks to this guy! If You Tube removes this video, they are making a HUGE mistake! He got it right, so do SUBSCRIBE and let’s keep the knowledgable people doing vids here on car maintenance supported and show them we care and appreciate their efforts!

Great video, , heads up- if you have Civic on ramps , when draining the oil, some of the oil might drip along the plastic towards the rear of vehicle, about 18 inches from the drain opening. So you might want to have either a very large drain pan or 2 containers, to catch oil that runs away from the opening.

Great video.. But I got a question. I filled it with fluid like instructed, until it trickled out of check hole. Put plug back in, ran it through the gears. Went to top off until it trickles out of the check hole again, however it didn’t trickle out. And I put in more fluid than owners manual says it should. So now I’m wondering. Do I need to buy more and add until it comes out of the check hole? Or did I overfill now? I put 3.78 liters. Manual says it should have 3.4 L

@22GTKO 2 года назад

So per the 2015 civic manual, The AT Trans Capacity is 3.6 US qt. I got 4 quarters, followed the instructions, very little spilled out the first time since I was putting little at a time. I did the gear change with 3-4 seconds in between and finished the 4th bottle on the 2nd fill but didn't get any spilled out from the check hole. So even with the spilled from 1st fill, I am positive all together there were more than 3.6 quarts but still didn't get enough for it to spill out from check hole...any idea?

@MikeTrullAmsoildealer Год назад

Was your engine running when you did not get any fluid out of the check hole or Was it turned off? I'm looking for clarification on this myself.

@22GTKO Год назад

@@MikeTrullAmsoildealer no, it wasn’t running or warm at that time. I drove around for few days and decided to recheck it, drove around the block for 20 minutes, let it rest for 10 min then raised up the car and removed the bolt, the extra oil started spilling out right away. I waited until it stopped. All this was done while the car was turned off.

I don't think is necessary to remove the top bolts to check the excess. If you remove 3.5 quarts, you add 3.5 quarts and the overleaking part is not necessary.

@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS 5 лет назад

That is definitely a method some people like to use. I personally don’t really want to take the time to measure what I took out. But most importantly if the level was too low or high to start with you would be returning fluid to that improper level with that method. I want to make sure that what I took out wasn’t too much or too little because of a loss of fluid overtime or someone’s previous overfill situation.

I found this video a couple weeks ago as I have just changed my transmission fluid today (07/01/23). This video was extremely helpful with the time being minimal and the details on performing this procedure being short and precise. I see a lot of individuals sharing points and tips so I figure I will share mine during my experience. I leveled my car on jack stands in my garage, I had to loosen both the fluid check bolt and the drain bolt with a 3/8 breaker bar. I made sure I was able to loosen the check bolt first. Then the drain bolt. When replacing the crush washers on both bolts keep in mind that the washer for the drain bolt is smaller than the washer for the check bolt. I didn’t measure them with calipers so I can’t give measurements for them. I was able to replace the washer for the drain bolt and the washer for the check bolt was in good shape so I reused that one until I can find and use a new one for the next transmission fluid change. When I refilled the fluid I put in roughly 3.5 quarts before fluid started dripping from the check bolt area for the first part of the procedure. I tightened the check bolt and shifted through gears and removed the check bolt again for the second part of the procedure I ended up adding half a quart more until fluid stared dripping from the check bolt area again. I couldn’t find a torque specification so I just tightened it until it was snug similar to snugging an oil drain bolt. In total I ended up filling the transmission with roughly 4 quarts of the HCF-2 transmission fluid as my owners manual specifies the type of fluid to use but not how much. When I got my car it was at 54,500 and I did this fluid change at 61,000 miles as there wasn’t a lot of maintenance information given when I got it so I don’t know when fluids were changed and such. Hopefully this helps whoever reads this comment

Shouldn't the car be level when adding/checking the fluid? In the video the car was still on the ramps.

@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS 7 лет назад

+MrRevto9k Yes, this is a great point thanks for asking! It is important to check the fluid while the car is level. The ramps in the video bring the car to the level position because of the slope of the driveway. Sorry I didn't make that point more clear, in the beginning of the video it says to bring the car to a level position on the ramps, but if you can't bring it to level on the ramps or with the jack stands you should level the car (if that means lowering the jack or coming off the ramps) open the check bolt and add the CVT fluid until it just starts to run out if the check hole.

On my 2014 civic I could see the overflow hole from the top as I was filling it with new liquid. I emptied old one in container where I could see how much approximately came out then filled it with same amount of new one and watched the overflow opening as soon as little bit of liquid seep out I stopped filling in both cases before and after cycling the shift position. The amount that came out was taken care of with just one sheet of shop towel, and I would suggest to always use 6 mil or thicker disposable gloves when working on a car so your hands stay clean. Leveling car was probably the hardest part. Also I changed mine on 30K (just bought the car) and it came out dirty and smelling pretty bad, so probably will stick to 30K change intervals from now.

Just drain 1 quart at a time from a transmission cooler line (trans gently pushes out a quart, shut the car off and add a quart, rinse / repeat 10x or until the fluid coming out is now the new fluid) 👍🏼 It’s easy as can be. You WANT fresh oil in the trans. There’s no such thing as lifetime oil. 🤦🏻‍♂️😤

@howardtheduck709 9 месяцев назад

I’ve heard the CVT transmission is a little sketchy but can last a long time if you change the fluid. I’ve also heard it’s bad to change the fluid from transmissions. Should I change mine or leave it like that?

@marklohmann6267 2 года назад

If the car was not level being up on the ramps, wouldn’t that give a false fluid level reading?

Drained 3850ml of at out. Put all 4 quarts in (3784ml). So I am 66ml short going back into cvt. Does this matter? I checked the spill/check bolt 3 times (car was level) while filling and never had anything dribble out.

@dudecena 3 года назад

@User Account No problem, thanks! I think I was just being anal about it. I changed mine at 50k and now 75k with a new cvt filter (the one located under the battery tray).

@whysonful 4 года назад

once the oil starts to leak from the check hole do you tighten the bolt right away or let it finish leaking?

Breaker bar and ratchet drive are designed to undo and redo bolts respectively. Only use torque wrench to do final tighten up so it will last as long as possible before calibration is needed! p.s. Calibration of torque wrench costs at least as much as a new cheap one! This is why most mechanics don't use them.

Could u show how to change cvt filters? I heard their are two of them. One magnetic and one "traditional" filter. I've been told this is possibly why my cvt fill plug keeps popping off?! I was going to change the fluid but now idk what to do. Not to mention, the dealership is telling me their transmission services start at $200 😱

@Gevans5472 4 года назад

RU-vid has videos for replacing both filters. Drop the pan to access the main ATF filter. There is a second replaceable cartridge type filter inside the ATF fluid warmer, which is easily accessed after removing a few bolts (This is for 2015 CRV with the CVT tranny)

@blakethesnake1555 2 года назад

Overall good video. Very helpful. However you should change the TRANSMISSION FILTER. It’s under the air breather box. It’s simple to change. I change the fluid and filter. Also this is a PARTIAL FLUID CHANGE. this needs to be done 3 times over the next 3 oil change cycles to thoroughly change ALL THE FLUID. I have the part number for the transmission fluid filter if anyone needs it. Local Honda dealer says there is no filter. They are wrong. Trust me / I have 2013 Honda Civic

@@blakethesnake1555 Are you sure the part number is for a CVT one? 2013 Civic uses a traditional automatic transmission while 2014-2015 models use a CVT transmission and I see the part won't fit a CVT model.

@sxb080511 7 лет назад

Very informative video, thanks for posting it. I see other comments about leveling the vehicle -- however, in my opinion what is drained gets refilled, then it should be fine if done quite frequently.

@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS 7 лет назад

Thanks! Yes, there will be a very slight over/under fill situation except in an extreme slope situation... but I agree in most circumstances it would be almost negligible. However, I would have the check bolt out in as level a situation as possible just to be safe. :) thanks so much for watching! - luke

@gotitdone 6 месяцев назад

I agree with @minutediyvideos response. If the car is not level, what you drain won't be the same as refilled. You could actually put more. If you measure what you put and put the exact amount you should be good, granted there was the correct amount to start with.

@jel434729 5 лет назад

Without removing the check bolt, it should take 3.4 qts of oil to refill the tranny sump. It’s in the manual.

@nicholiburkholder2032 4 года назад

Hey there! I changed my transmission oil today on my 2015 Honda Civic LX. I let it drain for 20+ minutes, and then refilled it through the fill plug. I put like 3.2 quarts in before I shifted through the gears and it flowed out of the overflow plug. I then went through the gears and did another filling and I added another .8 of a quart and it did not overflow. So I added 4 quarts total and it did not seep out the last time, why is this? The car was level.

@ballensaleh9042 4 года назад

that happened because as you shifted through the gears the fluid was drawn into the transmissions internals, causing you to refill again untill it was full per factory specs

@toannhan5302 3 года назад

@heatworkmusic3192 4 года назад

When the car is level, should the fluid from the drain hole run dry, or should you hurry up and put the bolt back on while it’s leaking out? I’m afraid I may have put too much fluid or not enough because I had the car jacked up while checking last time.
