CVT or ATF?
Thinking about doing a transmission fluid "flush" (drain+fill method) and would like to know if i have CVT or just regular.
Appreciate if someone can advise.
2003 Civic EX with BMXA Transmission.
Here are the two fluid i came up with...
1)Honda Genuine CVT Fluid
2)
Again, i would really appreciate if someone can help.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: CVT or ATF?
CVT Fluid is ONLY for CVT transmissions. Nothing else.
DW-1 is for automatic transmissions.

Re: CVT or ATF?
You managed to find some random letters
(BMXA-XYZPDQ-OMGWTFBBQ) that designate exactly what the transmission is, but you have no idea what the transmission really is?
Great.
I have no clue what those letters mean anyway. I don't need to know that when using factory info most of the time.
It's a regular automatic.
If it was a CVT, you would probably have to have a hybrid or an HF car.
If it was a CVT, there would be a plastic tag attached to the dipstick indicating what fluid it takes.
BTW, the 13 Accord CVT takes yet another completely different all new CVT fluid.
EDIT: The 14 Civic CVT takes this same all new fluid too.
