My mothers Civic Hybrid with the CVT calls for ATF Z1 fluid. At the dealer the other day, I see they now offer a new fluid for this application (Honda CVT Fluid) The parts dept tells me this has been SOP for 2 years now. Last year, Honda flushed and filled the CVT due to some noise in the unit...

Hybrid CVT My mother has a 2003 Civic Hybrid with 30200 miles on it. I have changed the ATF fluid at 15000 and 30000 miles. (Well not change but drain 3 qts, you know the routine) Last week her car was making a grinding noise EVERY time it went from a stop to moving. We brought it to Honda and...

My mother has a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid. Her car calls for 0W-20. With Mobil no longer making that, She is left with buying the Honda branded oil (I believe it is an Exxon/Mobil Oil) I bought all the 0W-20 I could find. I told her to just use the M1 5W-20. Why would Honda insist on 0W-20? The...

My 97 Accord calls for 5W-30. I have used M1 5W-30 from when the car was new. I just put in M1 0W-20 by mistake and think I will leave it in...any thoughts? Since the M1 5W-30 is thin anyhow. I dont think it will hurt.

In both the owners manual and the service manual is tells me to use 5W-20 oil. It does not give a choice of viscosities for different temperatures. It says use 5W-20. I...

I just got back the first lab report on oil in my Civic Hybrid. I have a few questions, Gas was found at 1.5%. Could this be due to the eninge shuting down all the time? Those who have a Hybrid understand what I am talking about. When you come to a stop the gasoline engine turns off untill you...
