Honda CVT-F

[suysuy]

Mga guys, saan ba makabili nito? Ive heard kasi na yung mga naka CVT dito sa atin eh AT-F daw na fluid ang nilalagay ng CASA. Which is wrong. It won't damage naman the transmission but it can affect shift performance

[baludoy]

totoo ba iyan? kasi sa casa meron ako nakita binibenta. nakita ko siya ng bumili ako ng oem coolant nila

[CVT]

I saw one at True Value in ATC.... the label specifically states Honda CVT (transmission) fluid...... I haven't used what I bought though for our Jazz yet...

may nabasa lang din ako sa net na mismo sa factory pa eh ATF daw nilagay as stock and not CVTF.

feeling ko yung akin eh ATF kasi hindi na siya ganun ka smooth kumpara noon. 2 years na city vtec ko

symptoms daw eh

1. when you release the throttle, you can feel its engine brake.
2. jerky feeling when climbing uphill
3. kapag mainit ang panahon mas mafefeel mo yung engine braking.

ive been experiencing it now. kapag irelease ko ang throttle feel na feel ko ang engine braking niya. para akong nag brake kaunti. then nafefeel ko rin ang release ng clutch niya kapag <20 kph takbo ko. in short, jerky talaga.

Bros.,- it could be that Honda originally put regular ATF earlier when the cars with CVT (transmission) were initially released. This could be the reason why they recalled all those cars with CVT (transmission) some months ago, telling customers that they needed to change the transmission fluid and reprogram the ECU..... I got mine serviced for this.

I suggest that you stick to what the manufacturer states in the manual. Medyo madugo o madugo pag nasira ang CVT ng Honda or any car for that matter.

[alwayz_yummy]

so iba talaga dapat cvt fluid than regular atf....sabi ko na nga ba noon, but SA's and mechanics there at casas insist na ATF lang din daw ginagamit...

paano yan may signs na ng premature deterioration ang cvt ng mga 2003-2005up na cvt jazz/city....lalo na sa di nakakaalam ng mga to..

[Type 100]

If they insist on using ATF, rub the owner's manual in their faces. It will specifically DEMAND you use CVT Fluid. By dint of that fact alone, dealers should be carrying bottles of the stuff.

[suysuy]

apektado parin ba ang 2006 models ng City? nabasa ko rin sa net na mga 10k-20k na mileage eh mag sisimula nang deteriorate yung shift quality. And mine now is 18.5k na.

malalaman ba sa kulay ng fluid kung ATF or CVTF?

Before you do that dip half of the manual in the ATF, the other in CVTF. Rub, then ask them, anu ba feel mo?

[Psylocke]

Honda casa peeps are too stupid to know the difference between ATF and CVTF. If you don't check on them they might pour gear oil into your CVT

They once put type1 coolant on my type2 car The honda mentality is that both are coolants so either should be fine

ergo....

ATF and CVTF could be used interchangeably

Ahahahaha! Panalo hirit mo boss

I think that there will be some level of premature deterioration on those Honda cars with CVT, especially when the vehicle's mileage is already high, because they used the not-so-proper fluid on the transmission. This is probably the reason why the recall was not publicly announced but they personally called the last known owner based on their records,- saying that this was a "product upgrade",- now I remember the term they used.

I am not that worried though, because our Jazz has very low mileage...

But hey! the cars were assembled in Thailand. As a normal practice, do they fill in the fluids here in the Philippines? I don't think so.....

[speedyfix]

honda sells cvt fluid. only use that for a cvt transmission.

now i remember. this was the term they also used on us, but the thing is, the so-called "product upgrade" was made during one of the jazz's regular pms. i don't remember honda calling anyone of us for this special procedure though

btw, our jazz just turned 3 years old last month and so far, there's nothing to complain about w/ regards to its tranny performance. but nevertheless, i'll be checking on the job orders as soon as i can to determine the kind of fluids the casa used on the car's tranny

You're exactly right bro. They do it at the same time with your regular PMS... That's what I understand, too, based on previous discussions with a couple of friends....

However, our Jazz has very low mileage, about 5T Km per year, so we do not go to Honda that often for the vehicle's PMS.... Reason why they're following us up through telephone calls....

hello mga kapatid,

i am also a prospective 1.3 city cvt buyer. i was at honda alabang today to do a test drive. i also asked regarding this matter. service guy advised that they only put cvt specific fluid (color yellow) on the cvt tranny and not ATF (red color). i did not get the chance to ask regarding the recall or whatever transpired on earlier occasions. FYI hope this helps you all!

cheers!

[suysuy]

hmmm. check ko mamaya sa akin if red or yellow

[suysuy]

mine is red!!!!!!!!!!! paano ko ireklamo ito sa casa? paano ko sabihin na magpachange ako to CVT-F?

jerky na talaga siya masyado. parang malagkit ang feeling ko mag drive.

[niky]

Claim it under warranty... bring it to your regular casa, they should have your full service records, and log your complaint.

Bring a camera and take pictures, too, of the engine and the ATF, and get copies of your service records to back up the complaint.
