Rep Power: 0 CVT Question
Hey guys,
I'm new to the honda forums (I typically live in the corvetteforum) and figured I'd ask a question that I have been searching for an answer for a while. My girlfriend has a 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid which recently got a Maintenance Reminder stating that the transmission fluid needed to be replaced. I'm not the most informed about CVTs since I do not own a car with a CVT. I prefer the good ole standard transmission. Back to my question.... I can not find any information in the owners manual about a filter replacement schedule for the transmission. Do these transmission have a non serviceable filter? I have found several gasket/ filter kits. The filter looks like it should not be difficult to replace. If I have overlooked anything obvious, please excuse my ignorance.
Thanks,
Connor
P.S: I am very comfortable doing car work. I have access to a lift, so getting the car in the air is not a problem. I have done extensive engine and trans work on my ole 92 corvette. (more of my wheel house)

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: CVT Question
2012 Honda Civic Hybrid
Routine fluid service is simple drain and fill. Approximately 3 quarts for a single fluid service.
Correct fluid for that one is Hondas CVTF (pictured below) NO SUBSTITUTES
