When does u guy change the CVT transmission oil?

on 40,000kms?
or 80,000kms? (in the driver manual say change it on 80,000kms)

[Rice_4_life]

dealers do them at 80,000km if you want it done any earlier you can always pay a bit more and get it done at say 40,000km or so.

[ACE888]

I change them every 40K kms....

[destrukshn]

i change it every 3rd oil change
so every 15000kms

[vividjazz]

Every 4th oil change so every 20,000km. Good luck with being able to drive the car waiting for every 80K.

[swat]

why u guys do it so early ??

[Baopham]

coz cvt's are shit.
gota look after them. i reccomend u change at every 40..
book says change 80k, but at our dealer we change every 40.

my jazz has done 40k, i create it thread because the dealer said cvt oil change every 80k, i don't have to change that in that moment, however my jazz is not that smooth at the speed at about 10km/h, the dealer finally suggest me to change the cvt oil, after the oil been change my jazz is running very smooth at any speed & gear.

so as vividjazz said "Good luck with being able to drive the car waiting for every 80K"

last week i went to chadstone honda dealer want to ask for oil change they told me now they have a new gear oil for CVT, however they ask for too much so that i ask for buy the new CVT oil, but they told me the new cvt oil no sell for public.

Go ask another dealer. What a load of rubbish that they don't sell you new CVT oil. I bought mine (in QLD though) 4L for around $81. Don't believe them. Go to the spares dept & ask directly.

i have changed that at another dealer (the one i done the 40k service b4) for $85, that is a special price the guy said he won't do that price anymore. they changed the oil & reset the computer, he told me that the ECU have to be reset after cvt oil change (i don't know why)

[black_jazzato]

I changed at 40,000km as Honda Thailand recommend but I plan to change at 20,000km instead after I run on my car over 50,000km cause I tend to use 7 speeds mode quite a lot.

Hope this post help! :thumbsup:

That's about right. The CVT specific oil here cost $81/4L - and here (a particular QLD Honda parts shop) you can walk up to the counter and buy, I guess as many cans as you need. The service manual did not mention the need to reset the ECU/CVT for oil changes, I'm unsure why it is necessary. Unless power is cut to the ECU during the procedure, which is again, unnecessary.

The only reason I can think of is: they do a reset of ECU to recalibrate the CVT, seeing that you are getting a fresh amount of oil, which presumably changes the smoothness of gear/belt transition. It is like saying to CVT: hey, you got a fresh oil now, calibrate yourself to this new, fluidy stuff. Just my 2 cents...

I think change of CVT oil at every 40K km sounds reasonable. The original workshop request is change for every 60K km. That is close enough & probably better for the CVT.

BTW, any one knows, besides this juddering problem, is the CVT otherwise durable? In other words, if the start clutch survives, and CVT oil is changed religiously, would the CVT last a very, very long time? This is a silly question perhaps because Jazz CVT has not been around for too long comparatively speaking.

they told me that the latest CVT Oil is not for public i can only buy a previous version CVT Oil.

What a load of crap. Go and try another Honda parts/sales place. Ignore this group of liars.

I would do em every 20k if you are planning to keep the car

[black_jazzato]

I agree with you. :thumbsup:

If you tend to use 7 speed mode quite a lot, so it's reasonable to change at 20,000km but I think if just a normal use 40,000km should be Ok!

I'm Keen on this new CVT oil.

I'm having shuddering problems with my Jazz, it occurs mainly right at the start when i press the throttle.
Also i get jerkiness when i accelerate upwards to 0-60km/hr.


Today, I just changed the CVT oil to the usual 'standard' red honda tranny oil as it's been 55,000kms since last change, so better try something than nothing......

My car's done 115,000kms.

[panda[cRx]]

whoa change ur fluid more often man. hondas are good reliable cars..... honda cvt's are not :(

[yourfather]

dude that is having issue buying the oil.

what dealer are you going to, its not in Doncaster is it?

[fundies]

Im going to do a cvt oil change soon. Does this "new" cvt oil from Honda have a specific name I can ask for.

[vividjazz]

Honda Continuous Variable Transmission Fluid and NOT Honda ATF-Z1.

It's called Honda CVTF - Continuous Variable Transmission Fluid. The bottle is black with a gold/yellow label at the front, it's 4L.

Do not confuse this with the Honda ATF-Z1 - which is the "normal" auto-transmission fluid. And do not use this.

Thanks Lokets and vividjazz.
