MrRangerZr1 do you know if your gearbox’s the same to honda logo-lachic 2000 model? Thank you, best regards.
@@maidenwildM It’s a CVT transmission not the regular 4-5 speed trans
2015 Honda Civic, done at 75k miles. First I practiced how to remove battery holder, and the next day I went through whole process. So for 3-4 years I will be ok.
Filter housing o-rings: amzn.to/2IAzjQj & amzn.to/2UnomUH
do you have the parts number for the cvt filter housing : 2 o rings? (one big , one small)
the amzn links provided is not longer linking to the right parts.
thanks
@@dramakor Part numbers are in the search bar when you click the links, maybe amazon doesn't have them in stock atm.
Finally someone that don’t make an entire speech on how to do it and instead do the Job without having to speak a word!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Model years this applies to would be nice.
I think 2015 when Honda started their CVT transmission to Honda Fit in the USA.
2014 also
Why in the world would anyone dislike this Awesome Video!!! Many Thanks for taking the time to film it!!
To many TH-cam Machanic’s, all know how it’s done 😆
There are some really awful people around. Very sad indeed.
Why? Because those are the type of people who needs someone to hold them by their hands and guide them, so they need directions......this video is right on the target.
@@dsdvbguutres5094 I’m not sure that is battery acid, and who cares what sides of the battery you start with, the whole efing thing is coming out.
@@dsdvbguutres5094 oh, and I really love your video on your channel on how to do this better. lol 😂 I’m being sarcastic incase you missed that too. lol 😂
Every since maintenance I have done on my 14 civic exl and wife's 15 exl has been due to your videos. Amazing thanks!
This is the best video for auto maintenance/repair I have ever seen on TH-cam and I have seen many. Even gives torque specs on fasteners.
Wow !! Never in my life thought there is a filter for the CVT transmissions !! Thank you this saves us a lot of money. Also I haven't seen no one else talk about this on tutorial mechanics !!
You`re right nobody else changes the filter, doesn`t look too complicated, I`m going to do both, doing it today.
@@philiprea8340 let me know how it goes I'm thinking to change mine . Also where did you get the filter I been looking seems no store has it
I don’t think. not do your self replacement.
I have and a professional mechanic said it is not needed....the filter will last longer than the transmission
Thank you for the great and crystal clear video. Loved it. No talks, no music and right to the point. 🙏👍
You make everything look so simple, and best of all no talking love it! Going to attempt to change this out myself with this tutorial I’m confident I can do this myself, thank you 👍
Been researching how to do this. BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN SO FAR. THANK YOU!
Excellent camera work, all the info you need, no more, no less - bravo!!!
Just did this today on my 2015 civic video is super helpful I gotta say you made it look easy some of the bolts took me some time getting too
Thank you for providing the links to the parts! Saves a lot of time
One of the absolute BEST Instructional Videos ever!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scotty Kilmer talked about this video...so had to see it! He mentioned how not a word was spoken but it's a great how-to video for Honda owners!
Link please?!
@@MrRangerZr1 Sure...at about the 7:50 mark... th-cam.com/video/W7LG2tDCgF8/w-d-xo.html
@@coloradoboo1071 Scotty is the man. Those that actually wrench on cars knows he's genuine.
This is awesome MrRanger!! Looking forward to changing my filter.
Great video! First time doing a Civic and didn't know the location. Only thing, and it's a little thing! You removed the positive terminal first - it might not happen to people but there's always a chance of a short. If you think of the Negative terminal as shoes and the Positive as your socks when you get home you take off your shoes first (Negative) and your socks last (Positive). When you leave you put on your socks first (Positive) and shoes last (Negative). That's how my old man taught me hah
That's a great way to remember lol
@@MrRangerZr1...If it's not too late maybe you can put a note in video stating you goofed and negative should be disconnected first? I noticed that at the beginning thinking this guy doesn't know how to disconnect a battery? AND he's showing how to do this buried fluid filter?...In the end though it was a good "how to" especially no annoying music👍
Do you need to drain the transmission fluid first before removing the filter?
@haterhating1 It shouldn't make a difference which order, honestly! Just know that as soon as you open the housing, some fluid will leak out
You know what's weird... Before I was ever told this I always just did it this way as if I knew how energy flows without anyone saying a word. It was instinct and a weird one.
Thanks you so much for this video because I never knew about this . I have a Honda Civic 2015 lx with 140k km. I’ll definitely change it soon with the help of this video.
I subscribed because you edit really well, love your specific instructions ..and you don't Talk (at 1000 words per second and expect me to keep up)
Your video is amazing. I love you. Accord owner from Saudi Arabia
AAA+++ Excellent Video, Exemplary! Precise with all details and no Bee Ess . Thank you. Wish they could all be like this.
Thank you very much for such a detailed straight forward video!
Wow excellent vid, straight to the point very educational!
action speaks louder than words, precise details i like all your awesome videos thank U....
Straight to the point! Awesome!
Mr Ranger, you are the man. Subscribing right now.
Wow had Honda dealership technicians tell me there was no filter for the trans... I changed the cvt fluid myself at 55k. Will be doing another change soon with the filter change. Thank you for making this video.
Dealer said filter is not changing item on my Civic. Over $200 for fluid change only.
None of the dealers will change the filter. It is not a serviceable item on the schedule.
Lifetime of the car, they (honda) say. Good enough for me. Waaaaay too much work when there is no problem!
How bad did the filter look when you changed it?
Same thing with me . They said they don’t replace those items it’s just a drain and fill process . I changed mines ever since I got my civic with 0 miles and changed it at 76k miles , the filter was badly in shape . After my car ran smoother with the filter and fluid but it’s now making a humming vacuum sound when I slightly accelerate but goes away maybe it needs more fluid from the 3.7l qtz Honda recommends ?
Glad I'm finding out about this filter at 30 thousand miles doesn't seem like the dealers like to acknowledge this filter just gonna do it myself ive changed changed fluid on on zf8 speed from a bmw it was a hell of a job especially with how you have to run through the gears which is impossible unless you have a lift this seems a lot easier found a good deal on fluid for 5 quarts and gonna buy this filter
Simple and to the point! Thank You
2015 Honda Civic cvt, done at 75k miles. First I practiced how to remove battery holder, and the next day I went through whole process. I dropped bolts and sockets but easy to recover.
Excellent tutorial video!!
Muy buena la demostración del cambio de filtro. Cosas que los mecánicos en muchos casos ignoran.
No lo ignoran amigo, más bien no les conviene.
Saludos desde Sonora México.
Es el filtro de la transmission?
Cada cuánto se cambia?
Mi auto en ocasiones presenta jaloneo al acelerar, solo de estando parado y querer acelerar despacio. El filtro podría ser el problema?
I didn't know that there was a cvt filter. Thanks for the info.
Great video i will trie this on the week end
A new filter is always good 👌
Not needed for the CVT
Hey awesome video thank you for showing me reinstall steps helps alot for first timers like me i appreciate it. Do you install filter then change fluid?
Nighty Nine doesn’t really matter.
Great video, just remember to always take the negative cable off first just to be safe..
Great info, thanks!
Thank you for four fast responce.
Fantastic instructions. Thank you.
I can't believe for the life of me that this video has 1 dislike let alone 60! WTF is going on with ppl that hit that thumbs down? Whatever it is thank heavens the majority of us don't have it! Great video, I appreciate the straight to it and no bs aspect of it! Thank you, keep rock-n-rollin !
Its probably cause this is not part of a Honda Maintance intervial..jus a drain and refill every 25 thousand miles
Awesome! Thank you very much!
Someone give this man a raise
Your video is excellent! I tried to follow these steps in replacing the same CVT fluid warmer filter on my Honda HR-V. All went well until I tried to loosen the 2 bolts underneath the steel battery tray. I could see them with a dental mirror and flashlight, so I know they exist. However, I don't think Houdini could access them. I finally gave up and put everything back together. Any ideas? I would love a video on this!
Just need to get creative with your extensions. Use wobble extensions. And you shouldn't have to completely remove some of the bolts, just loosen it and see if the tray slides out.
Very very good I don’t see before thank you
Thanks for the video 👍
Great Video!
Very good video thank you dude.
Superb video. Thanks.
Nice video ,thanks very much.
Thank you this great video...
Great how to vid 👍
thanks for the video, do you have to change the o rings?
My o-rings at 60k miles were good. It depends on mileage. I would get them in case.
Great video, is it possible that you can do a video for CVT filter change for Honda Accord 2013 also??
jer 99 it’s on my channel :) same process as the civic
Great video. Straight to the point. Do you need to add fluid after replacing the filter?
Not really, not much leaks out.
@@MrRangerZr1 was it full of oil when u changed the filter?
@@Unknownn805 I didn't drain the atf before changing the filter
superb video!!🎉 do you need to remove the old cvt fluid ?pour a new one?
No need to drain the fluid first
Excellent 👌. It's necessary to change the square filter inside?
Just replace whatever I shown and you're good to go
Thanks for showing you are awesome.
Great show.❤
thanks again for this.. when reassembling, how bad is it if I didn't tighten to the specified toque lbs for the bolt that holds the hose in position, and for the ground bolt? I kinda just tightened them as tight as I could with a normal socket wrench without being excessive.. The car has been shifting like a dream, but it has had a couple electrical issues, like the alarm going off randomly the morning after the job, and the "door open" warning falsely triggering while driving a few days later.
You should be fine.
Alarm is most likely being triggered by a faulty door plunger th-cam.com/video/umjGq5q7hMM/w-d-xo.html
Great video. Thanks Honda design engineers for making it so difficult to change the filter. Seems to me they could have made it a little easier. I do oil changes, transmission fluid, brakes, wheel hubs....but this seems like more work than I want to do. Too many things to take off just to get to the filter. I personally would drain/fill tranny @30k and 60k, skip this filter. At 90k drain/fill and pay the crooks at the dealershit to do the filter. Although, who knows if they will actually change it. On a 2010 civic, with the automatic tranny, I have never changed the filter. It has 240k on it. I think the key is to get the crud out frequently by doing short drain intervals. On that Civic, I do 20k-30k drain and fill. Have done it since new and the tranny is thanking me for it. Only costs me $30 to do this. I don't understand why people don't do simple maintenance to keep their cars running in top form.
You can definitely do this job if you can change brakes. Yes, clean fresh fluid is more important.
GM v6 engine is so much more pain just to change spark plugs
@@Kaywonlee I think all V6 are. If I had a V6, I would cough up the 750 at the dealer to do it. Watched a few videos of Lexus V6 get plugs done. I don't have the attention span to keep track off all that shit you take off.
@@eee2115 lmao. Taking out manifold is real pain for a dam 2 spark plugs.
Tranny fluid (Honda) is expensive. 2 times change is needed to change 75% of fluid, So total cost is high $70.
Is that filter only for the civic? I have a 2017 Honda Accord LX, can I get that same filter for it? Great video btw! Straight to the point! 👍🏼
same filter
Hello , could you tell us the year and model you are working on in this video, great job , thanks for sharing
2014 civic
Yo Ranger I've been watching you for 6 years. Love you. Question. I have a 2013 1.8L Civic LX. Is this the same process? I saw one video where they took the seats out.
The only thing under the seats would be the fuel pump.
Your civic has the 5-speed auto transmission, so this doesn't apply to you.
What year is this vehicle and is it a civic or accord? Awesome vid, just making sure I can do this on my 2016 civic 2.0 CVT
civic. More or less same on the other CVTs.
Outstanding video! What is your estimate for amount of fluid loss? Thanks.
Not sure exact amount but very little. You can check the level by using the check bolt.
you make it look too easy nice job does a 2017 Honda CRV have a cvt filter?
Yes
You are the best!!!!
Awesome video, I'm wondering if it is similar for a 2016 HRV I just got for my daughter.
Actually it is. It has the same powertrain as the civic.
@@MrRangerZr1 awesome, thanks. 😊
How often should the filter be replaced? We lease our cars, 2019 civic and 2019 fit. Bet the dealer doesn't do it, the filter appeared to be quit dirty, how many miles on it. Liked the video, no long winded b
If it's a lease don't worry about it. Generally you should change this before 100k miles.
Hey MrRangerZr1, I just switch out mine yesterday and was a little concerned about the fluid leakage you said would happen. Do I need to fill up what came out? I didnt measure it but my car doesnt seem to have any issues. I didnt change the O rings just the one that goes on the filter. What do you think?
You can check the fluid level via the check bolt. I think you'll be fine.
Hey MrRangerZr1, I am in the process of purchasing the parts and tools necessary to switch out the filter, however, I wanted your recommendation/opinion on what torque wrench I should buy? There are many inch drives and brands, but want the one that would be most useful for your Honda (we have the same one), especially the one used in this video and the transmission fluid change. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Bogarth Roy will you be doing suspension work or just engine work?
@@MrRangerZr1 Engine work
Then a 3/8" drive torque wrench will be good enough. For torque values below 20 lbf.ft, I would use a 1/4" torque wrench.
I can't believe I had technicians tell me there's no transmission filter on my Civic 2015, should've double checked myself. I recently did a transmission fluid change, should I just replace the filter now or wait for the next transmission fluid change to do it? My car has around 55K miles. Great video btw!
You should be fine. The filter in the video had about the same mileage. I would just make sure to swap it out before 100k miles.
Just got this done this morning, along with the fluid change. How many qrts do u sually use to fill? Mine took 3 qrts & the fill plug was already over flowing. I did the pcv valve yesterday & the car was already running better. thnx for all your videos!
Car must be level and at operating temp when checking the check bolt, but usually about 4 quarts
i drove it to work & removed the fill plug at ground level, got maybe 1/2 of the 4th qrt in & it started overflowing, i was not trying to force the rest in.
Great Video! Do I need to drain the fluid to change the filter?
No
@@MrRangerZr1 Thanks
@MrRangerZr1 Great videos, gonna do this next week to my civic. P.S. So i went to my local dealer today and ordered the o-rings and washers and 4 qt's of fluid. (surprisingly they didn't tell me the filter didn't exist lol maybe because i gave them part numbers) But if i change the fluid and the filter, will i need more than four quarts to refill??
Nah you should be good. A little bit will leak out.
Dealerships never tell you the real things you need.
@@MrRangerZr1 Thanks man, also any tips for a break job, doing pads and rotors next week on my civic
I have the rotor and brake pad videos on my channel, watch them. :)
Another great vid. Should I replace the filter without replacing the housing o-rings? The links to purchase the housing o-rings show a "no result page" on Amazon. Thanks.
If the link says no results then you need to go to the dealership to order the o-rings. Change the gaskets when replacing the filter. One on my viewers didn't change the o-rings and ended up with a oil leak mess.
@@MrRangerZr1 I will definitely change the gaskets. Thanks for all the help.
Do I have to change the little o rings on the warmer every year with the filter? Or just the filter and the o ring around that?
Jordan Wade replace as needed. If they are brittle and not round, chance them.
You didn't get much fluid come out when you took apart the head, I'm assuming because it's at a higher location than where all the fluid is stored which would be at the pan below ?
yes
Should the transmission oil be drained before removing the cover and the filter, or is it not necessary because there will be no major leaks when changing the filter?
no need to drain oil first
Can you also do a complete tran flush that way too, if so which hose should be disconnected to pump out old fluid.
I am sure we love to see that video from you so PLEASE MAKE ONE.
No ATF flush on Honda transmissions specially! Drain and fill only. If you want you, can change 2-3 times with some driving in between, but no flushing.
Video of changing the ATF is on my channel.
@@MrRangerZr1I think he's talking about disconnecting one of the hoses and running the car to flush the fluid out using the car's own pump, not about hooking it up to a flush machine.
@@homuraakemi9556even that don't do
Do you have to drain the transmission fluid to do change the filter or can you do it without having to do so? I'm asking since I plan to change the filter out after I can get the 2 orings for the cvt warmer but my honda dealer didn't have it in stock.
You don't need to drain the fluid
Just wondering, do you need to top off the fluid after changing the filter?
It's a very small amount but doesnt hurt to check
How much fluid comes out? I’m not due for a fluid change, but I want to change the filter. Will enough come out that I’ll need to buy and add more fluid too?
It's a small amount but doesn't hurt to check the level afterwards
I changed mine at 100k and it was black. I change my fluid every year so 15-20k. I never knew about the filter. I’m gonna change the filter every 50k. It’s like 20-25 bucks for the rings and the filter. Cheaper then a transmission. Mr ranger is a hero. The dealers are telling everyone you can’t change it lmao. I changed mine in less then 30 mins.
There you go, what I always say, oil is cheap motors are expensive.
Hello
I appreciate your video.
I was wondering if this procedure applies to 2017 civic 1.5 turbo.
Yes it can
Honda doesn’t have this filter as a serviceable item or item that needs to be replaced but good info thou..
Hey Ranger! I have a 2015 civic ex. I just got a great job as a bridge Inspector consulted out to the state of MD 2 yrs ago and use my car for the travel from home to job site. I put about 120k miles on it over the past 2 years. Never had any transmission work done and to top it off there was never a filler plug. So I can't imagine how much construction dust may have gotten in the system. Anyway, is there a recommendation for the car being hot or cold before doing the work? Thanks for posting this awesome video!
Common issue on these, just get another plug. Best to work on a cool engine.
@@MrRangerZr1 when I bought a new plug from Honda it was actually bigger than the original, I haven’t had it pop out since
@@MrStidhams yes the original one shrinks
If you clean the pressure relief pipe with small hole then, the fill pug will stay there.
Do you know if the accord 2017 sport has a filter for the cvt? Idk if you can. But is it possible you could do a video on how to change it. Thank you.
Here's the video: th-cam.com/video/GGsIliane6s/w-d-xo.html
Hello, excellent video. Could you tell me the gear box name please? Thank you.
Jonathan Sirimarco CVT continuous variable transmission
Do you have a video in changing the bulb in the Econ button? My bulb burned out but idk how to get it off.
It's on the list.
Do you have to take out batt on the 2016 accord as well? Same procedure? you where not as specific as you are in this video..ty
Eric Maeder not really but you can.
@MrRangerZr1 I have a 2019 Honda City CVT at 30k miles- so I gave my dad the car to take to the mechanic(don't judge me) and the guy said the CVT filter is built-in and doesn't need changing for now. How correct is He? Should I be worried?
You need don't to worry about the filter now, just change the fluid now.
Good video r the honda civic 2011 lx 1.8 have the same filter I can not find it
juan caceres yours is different it’s a regular transmission not CVT
Excellent!
Do you need to drain the transmission first before removing the filter?
no
Great vid, but can you clarify the O-rings?
A lot of the links provided lead to dead ends and don't seem to be the correct ones
Amazon probably doesn't have them in stock atm. If you click the links, you'll see the part numbers in the search bar.
@@MrRangerZr1 Good to know; in the future it could help to show the diameter measurement of the O-rings to assure the new ones are the same size prior to installing
How often do u need to replace this filter i didnt even know there was a filter there and whats the filter for?? New subscriber👍
around 100k miles is good
@MrRangerZr1
Do we need to drain the transmission fluid first to change the filter only?
No
Nice video is this for a 2015 Honda Civic
yes
is this a maintenance item? How many miles it should be replaced?
Once before 100k miles
Any suggestion on how to get the bottom bolt of the filter housing (2:30) out? I tried like 5 times and can’t seem to get a good grip on it with my socket :/
Willis Leung use a wobble extension
