Hi,
I purchased a brand new 2015 Honda Civic EX sedan 5 weeks ago. My plan is to keep this car
long term, perhaps 10-12 years. I want to make sure I do all the maintenance at the correct
intervals. I spoke to the dealer's service manager asking about the fluid change interval for
the CVT and was told that the Civic's CVT "is a sealed system and no maintenance is required". You do NOT change the fluid because the system is sealed and the fluid never degrades, like oil, brake fluid, etc.
There seems to be a real confusion about this issue as I read all over to actually change the
fluid at 30K, than others say change at 60K, than others say change at 100K, and now the Honda service manager telling me the fluid is a maintenance free item.
I dont get it!? The is no consistency anywhere about this issue! What EXACTLY is HONDA
offical recommendation on this?
