Need to note the "upper blue smaller upper level fluid bolt" check above the drain bolt to check upper fluid level to avoid overfilling or underfilling the transmission fluid to avoid possible damage. fill until it flows out when vehicle is level to avoid damage. Also there is an adjacent transmission fluid filter area that could use addressing while changing the fluid, easy process.....#3 - 12 mm bolts, new filter.
Thanks, I overtightened it and crushed the washer of the check bolt. Do you have a part number for the check bolt? I can’t find it. It’s not leaking but I would like to change is asap
49nm (36lb ft) for drain plug on this per honda for this vehicle model and year honda dealer tech here, what i do is what you do, i take the fluid out, measure it and try to get approx 3.7-3.9qts fluid(but.. depending on how much i get out), i will then dump 4qts fluid in and send them on their way but sometimes all i get out of them is 3 qts of fluid(and now you really need to check the fluid level) and now it takes 4.5-5qts to bring it back to the proper level if you are not sure about how the fluid level is in this, after letting the vehicle warm up (the temp gauge is in the middle) you can run it through each gear for 3 seconds(i.e. stay in park for 3 seconds, move to reverese and stay in that for 3 seconds, move into neutral for 3 seconds...then run it back up the gears the same way) then turn the vehicle off and (within 60-90 seconds i believe it says) you can take out the upper blue bolt(12mm) in 2:18 (the one he is Not pointing at) or the 17mm fluid check plug located in the front of the transmission(above the drain bolt but on the front face of the CVT) hope it helps someone else out there, great video! looking forward to the next one!
Thanks for the confirmation. I have done 50k miles would you change the trans fluid? I'm trying to baby this thing I have oil change coming up. Much easier than previous accord. My v6 had 3 trans services 250k miles until it totalled.
Glad to see ur doing Honda Mt too!! Wanted a 22 Rav4 But dealers in SE Michigan were charging over MSRP. Got a 22 CRV and for Less than MSRP ! Looks like the 22 is exact same procedure! I would bet they had the fluid changed before. Supposed to be around 40K I heard. Seems like Honda does NOT sell a Mt. manual! Crazy! Thanks again for perfect explanations. I was a certified Mechanic in 1980 but was offered another position in General Plant Mt. and never became a true mechanic like yourself. So I know u do a tremendous job for people!! Thanks!!
What an awesome mechanic. I love how detail he is and explains everything I wish he lived in Florida he would definitely be my mechanic. It’s hard to find a good honest mechanic. I love your content.
As always a well-done and helpful vid. A question I have is if the old CVT trans fluid was warm wouldn't it expand and possibly give a false reading of 3.8 or 3.9 quarts instead of factory recommendation of 3.7 quarts?
What about the transmission fluid filter? Should it not be changed at the same time? You make no mention of it. You don't change oil without a new filter?
That's an awesome presentation! & you Sir will be getting my respect for your time, energy and most of all knowledge in this professional yet very people friendly way of doing it yourself video, thank you. And yes I did subscribe and hit the notification Bell for all of your upcoming projects. Hehehe
should not say " ONLY " a certain fluid, say a fluid that MEETS HCF-2 specification... AMSOIL ,which i use & sell, meets that requirement as well as others... fluid really should hav bin changed long ago... just look @ colour of OLD fluid, kinda dark, new is nice & clear... cvt's NEED 2 b changed more frequently than other auto transmissions... good, informative vid... did like it... 😁
easy does it, but I think any work that requires the car to be lifted up, already limits the average driver from doing any of this work. Without a lift, the best you can do is change the battery, and top up your fluids, as needed.
I just bought a 2013 accord 4 cylinder automatic. The last time they did a transmission fluid change was 30,000 miles ago. The accord is at 97,000 now. Do you think that doing a transmission fluid change will help with the slight feeling that I feel when my car is driving between 5-35 mph? I feel that the car tries to slow down too fast between those speeds. I was driving a 08 corolla before so I just wanted to get your opinion. After 35mph to 80, it drives great.
A lot of the CVT cars have this issue and it's not an indication if failure, just the oddball nature of the CVT transmission. Not the smoothest transition with light throttle input. Try it by stomping on the gas pedal and I bet you won't feel it at all.
I need advice. I had my 2014 Nissan Versa (53k miles) go in to the dealers to replace a broken CVT cooler line and to get a CVT flush and fill. It was a leaky MESS and was fortunate to get to the dealer in time. They did try to clean up the engine area as best as they could. No new leaks, CVT works well, but afterwards noticed a burned smell. Went back to the dealer for a scheduled oil change, and to check the CVT, and everything looked fine. They said it was residual CVT fluid and will eventually burn off. How long can this take? Can a car detailing help?
CVT fluid smells like horse manure. Take your car to a reputable car detailed and have your engine bay detailed. If you still smell burning CVT fluid, take the car back to the Nissan stealership. Nissan CVTs are complete garbage. I own a 2005 Nissan Altima. It has a 5 speed manual transmission. That car has almost 500,000 miles on it. I’ve never heard a CVT equipped Nissan vehicle make it up 150,000 miles before needing a new transmission. Sell your Nissan once you get rid of the burnt CVT fluid smell.
There is a CVT filter. It’s located in the CVT warmer. The CVT warmer is located behind and below the battery tray. You must remove the battery and battery tray to get to the CVT filter. There are videos on CZcams how to gain access to and change the CVT filter on this generation Accord CVT.
@@masonlovesroblox there is another one the part number is 25420-5C4-004, the video demonstrates how to do it m.czcams.com/video/IpaCh68Ygbw/video.html
i know on some of the CVT's that honda has(theres a couple of different ones) they all(from all the ones ive worked on) seem to have a rubber plug that you can pull and then use a long goose neck funnel to fill it, on some of the other CVT's that they have, there is a 17mm socket size "fluid check plug" that you would pull to check the fluid level after warming up and watch for it to drip out just like the 12mm "fluid check bolt" hope it helps!
It is the upper limit for the transmission fluid, which should have been opened for him to check when topping out the fluid level after warming up the engine transmission fluid, running through the gears to assure fluid in the system. then add fluid until pouring out that upper blue top fluid level screw while vehicle is level. replace screw. Too much or too little transmission fluid can damage a vehicle's transmission. He did well on the video, but that is important information.

Thanks for telling me do it's a right way
I appreciate your concern, about doing the oil change the right way, I think I will go to the dealer and let them do it probably, thanks again!
@@danielcabrera8827smartest comment on this thread!
@@juanh1093 how? It’s not a difficult procedure
3.9 US qt (3.7 litres) per the owner's manual of CVT fluid. On the CVT drain plug, it's 36 ft-lbs or 49 Nm
Excellent video with great camera work which was clear, precise, and steady.. Easy to understand you with great audio. Great job.

Thank you for your time. Your video is helpful for the DIY.
I Would recommend you, replace la filters too, inside oil pan and oil cooler.
Excellent video with the detail needed to make it easy. Thanks!!!
Nice tutorial Bro,I appreciate your time, thanks.
I love your workmanship. Thanks
As always a well-done and helpful vid. A question I have is if the old CVT trans fluid was warm wouldn't it expand and possibly give a false reading of 3.8 or 3.9 quarts instead of factory recommendation of 3.7 quarts?
I really doubt .1 or .2 quarts either way would cause any major issues.
Exelente video muy bien explicado, las imagenes muy claras y un trabajo limpio felicidades.
Top notch, my friend. Top notch.

I nice easy way to do it, the important thing is to have the auto level when you drain the fluid.
Need to confirm fluid level after the change. Putting in the same amount of fluid that came out doesn’t mean anything, it could have been wrong.
Hi. Just to confirm. There is no way to check the condition of the fluid unless you drain it. Is this correct?
Nicely done video.
easy does it, but I think any work that requires the car to be lifted up, already limits the average driver from doing any of this work. Without a lift, the best you can do is change the battery, and top up your fluids, as needed.
Looks like Honda learned a lesson after their misadventures with auto transmissions about '95 through about '05.
I just bought a 2013 accord 4 cylinder automatic. The last time they did a transmission fluid change was 30,000 miles ago. The accord is at 97,000 now.

I feel that the car tries to slow down too fast between those speeds. I was driving a 08 corolla before so I just wanted to get your opinion. After 35mph to 80, it drives great.
Could be starting to slip. Is it a CVT? If it is change the oil every 25k-30k miles.
A lot of the CVT cars have this issue and it's not an indication if failure, just the oddball nature of the CVT transmission. Not the smoothest transition with light throttle input. Try it by stomping on the gas pedal and I bet you won't feel it at all.
Was this the first change ever? The filter definitely needs to be replaced also.
좋은정보 감사하다맨이야
You have a link for the filter and Orings? Dealership says they dont have. A part number ? Imagine that !!!
Nice video 👍🏾
I watched a few videos. Only one guy changed the filter. What's with that?

3$ crush washer!?!?!?🤣 damn dealer prices never stop amazing me.
How many mile should we change transmission fluid?
I live in California where is ur shop so I can take my Honda for maintenance?
Cvt fliter?
What about the tranny filter? I would Change that for a fresh 1
No filters change??

Be careful. Video work was better than most but he skipped steps And made no mention of the filter.
No filter?
When you were under that car draining the atf there was a blue plug on top is that another fill hole?
i know on some of the CVT's that honda has(theres a couple of different ones) they all(from all the ones ive worked on) seem to have a rubber plug that you can pull and then use a long goose neck funnel to fill it, on some of the other CVT's that they have, there is a 17mm socket size "fluid check plug" that you would pull to check the fluid level after warming up and watch for it to drip out just like the 12mm "fluid check bolt"
