Pop the hood, locate the car's battery and look down past the battery tie down that's closest to the engine, down in that little deep spot you should see a yellow dip stick loop, since its very deep in the engine bay definitely use a long funnel when putting new fluid in. hope this helps you
Good morning!I have been watching your video for changing the transmission fluid.kindly advise regarding Honda Civic V-tec gear box.Here is the situation when start driving this vehicle for some few metres, for gear 1 and gear 2 I experience strange movements,it jacks,also takes does not have smooth gear change.
Replacing the filter MIGHT help this … IF. It is dirty and clogged. But depending on the mileage they transmission may be on its way out. I would not recommend a flush at this point. If warranted, you could take a shot at doing a transmission drain and refill but do not do a flush
Hello, these videos are not always done with my personal vehicles. I don’t have access to this one at this time. But your dipstick will have level markings on it to show you where it needs to be
Make sure you’re on level ground. If it’s above the cold line when cold or above the hot line when warmed up and after driving a little, then it’s more than likely just overfilled.
@@HandsOnDismantler i checked and find out that when the car is cold then the fluid is above the hot line but when the car is at operating temperature than it just at the hot or upper line..I am confused 🫤
Thank you. Saves me $450 from the dealership.
What a savings!!! Nicely done!
thanks for the info here. quite helpful
You’re most welcome! Thank you for the comment
W man w info w video
W comment! 🫡
I didn't have that many jacks, I just lifted the passenger side up, got to the bolt and put the car back down to let it all drain out.
Nothing wrong with that. Gatta do what you gatta do and I can respect that. Safety is #1
I have a 2008 civic too, but I cant seem to find the trans dip stick...where is it?

What happened to the filter no change
There’s a link to the video regarding the filter under the video and it’s also on the playlist! 👍🏼
Hi bro what happen if fluid level is above the hot line is it concerning
Did you just service it? And added oil? Or are you asking because your personal vehicle is above the hot line before any service?
@@HandsOnDismantler yes serviced last week and when i checked in the morning its showing above the upper line
Make sure you’re on level ground. If it’s above the cold line when cold or above the hot line when warmed up and after driving a little, then it’s more than likely just overfilled.
Overfilling it can be damaging, so you’ll need to correct it as soon as you can.

What about 143,000? Too late?
You should still be ok. If the fluid is very very dark and has grit in it, then I wouldn’t do the service, but I would change the filter.
@@HandsOnDismantler 08 170k civic here so the oil is dark I heard not to do anything I have no slippage yet so when do u think it will go?
Arent these civics CVT transmissions?
I believe only the hybrid model had cvt in this year.
It's an AT.
Took almost 3 qts
In mine
Just as long as it’s at the correct level when warmed up
