Hi,
I'm from the Caribbean and back home I have a Japanese model Honda Civic EK3 Ferio Vi Multimatic. To read more about my car see here:
EK3 Honda Civic Ferio Vi
EK3 Honda Civic Ferio Vi Multimatic Transmission
JDM VTEC-D15B Engine
For all you guys with VTEC engines my car is your grandaddy!!
Anyway, it's age shows.
It has a CVT transmission.
Here is an UOA for the transmission oil after 25,000 miles on Honda Z-1. Yes I know I should be using Honda CVT Fluid but in my defense this was reintroduced in 2006 and I change my oil every 2 years or so and I only recently found out about it.
I'll give you 5 seconds to spot what's wrong but then take your time and tell me how to fix it. Ready? Go!

I'm about to flush the fluid and put in Honda CVT transmission fluid but I have 6 oz of Auto-RX in there and I'll drive it for about 2,500 miles before I flush it.
I've already driven 500 miles.
Thanks
Thor.
