ATF Fluid for 2010 Civic 2.0

[JuDgee]

Dear All,

Time to replace my fluid at 30,000Km. Is this suitable for my Civic? Thank you.

Yes, it is suitable.

need to change ATF at 30k km, really?

[JuDgee]

My service manual said 100,000Km, but I just want to be on the safe side & change on 30,000Km.

[leetie123]

let me know if you notice any difference, although i doubt it would be at 30k.
mine is at 50k, sometimes i feel the gearbox is a bit lazy

Yes, we found that with Honda's autoboxes, the interval for ATF is too long. If you follow the interval, you will have a nicely clunky gearbox.

I recommend every 2 years or 30,000km, whichever comes first. By doing it frequently, you don't have to waste additional bottles trying to get trapped fluid out of the torque convertor.

[JuDgee]

True, just worry that if too long interval, it will damage my AT.

I changed my A/T fluid at 85k and today I changed after 50k (ie odo @135k) , I can feel the different. Bought the fluid 4 liters $63 from honda

BTW , it need only 2.5 liters.

Then i think i will change ATF in my civic in the next service
Has anyone noticed civic fd1 has "two steps" throttle?

Penrite sell a full synthetic ATF that is compatible with Honda AT (not CVT) that works really well
