2007 Civic Hybrid CVT Fluid Change Flush DIY Very Easy Applies to 2006-2011
Hello i am new to this site as i just bought a 2007 hybrid. Anyways I performed a cvt fluid flush today. it was very easy I have an image to share because it tells a story. Ask me anything you got trouble with or questions with because i will be doing all kinds of preventative maintenance to keep my honda running like new.
About the CVT fluid change: Very simple to do it by yourself. usually one has to only use 3 quarts to do a fluid change every 30,000 miles but when i bought the car the owner did not change it for 114,000 miles so i had to do a flush meaning changing it 3 times. I had to use 13 quarts. Each drain and fill took about 3.3 quarts of fluid. Between each drain and fill i took the car for a drive in city and on highway for about 10 miles.
Here is the picture i was talking about: In this image you will see what tools are needed, short description of what i performed. It also shows before and after images of cvt fluid condition. puts into perspective why one should change the every fluid on time as required to avoid costly repairs.
you can see how dirty the fluid was and how clean it is now after draining it 3 times. Next time, after 30,000 miles, i will only use 3.3 quarts instead of using 13 quarts as I did this time.
let me know if you have trouble seeing the image. I have to figure out how to work this thread.

You probably should change whenever the M/M indicates that you have to. Mine tells me it is time at about 30,000 Kilometers. I think if I remember correctly it is indicated by the # 4 or #3? Nice post! H
