CVT Fluid Change on 2015 Civic

Happy Late Summer! My Civic will cross 50k this week and I want to change the fluid in my CVT. Anyone have any experience using other major brands than Honda? My default position is just to use Honda fluid but I'm curious if anyone has had experience with other brands(on one of the youtube videos for this procedure Valvoline is mentioned). Also if anyone has an online supplier they like I'd appreciate a recommendation. Thanks.stay safe and Happy Hondaing!!!

Stick with Honda (oem) CVT fluid.
Try HondaPartsNow, Majestic or other via Google search.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

You think you can afford the wrong fluid?
You still have warranty on the trans.....until you use the wrong fluid.

HCF-2 from any Honda dealer.

4 quarts of absolutely correct fluid is not expensive. A trans replacement is expensive.
We do not rebuild them, so you know what that means.

Ezone,
Thanks for the warranty reminder, I had completely overlooked that. Honda CVT HCF-2 it is. Thanks for all the help and support. Happy Hondaing.......Larry
