CVT auto gearbox oil change intervals
« on: August 12, 2015, 12:11:51 PM »
Hi

My Jazz is 4 yrs old and only done 16000. I needed to check when the CVT oil change was due, could not find anything in the service book. Rang several Honda dealers and they quoted every 2yrs/25000, 4yrs, 5yrs/50000 so am confused, looks like some garages have their own policy and change every 2 yrs maybe. Would value your thoughts, many thanks.

I checked at my Honda dealer when I was in there last time and it's listed as being scheduled at 60000 miles or 5 years, so I'll be having mine done at the next service.

Thanks for the replies, so looks like Honda are saying 5 years but some garages are saying 2 yrs, cannot both be right, so maybe it is a money making exercise and at £75 a time, makes it worthwhile

Hybrid CVT is 25,000 miles or 2 years intervals, so I have had my cars cvt fluid changed 6 times so far :)

If in doubt consult Honda's own service checklist. I attach the form for my Hybrid's most recent (4th) service. It confirms Ozzie's 25k miles / 2 years but, given that I have no record of the CVT fluid ever having been changed in 4 services / 4 years, my local Honda agent seems to interpret the requirement as being the whichever is the last of 25k miles / 2 years (I've yet to reach the 25k miles).

Perhaps I need to seek an explanation.

 ;DRe: auto-box fluid change etc.

Hi, I have a 2012 1.4 EX. CVT and I was having a problem, i.e.: loosing power at times, it's all down to a little bit of a C/up by Honda. In the service book (part number car-serv-0111. issue date 10/11) it shows on page 42 that the CVT fluid should be replaced every  75,000miles or 8 years. THIS IN WRONG.
ON LATE 2011 models onwards it should be done every 25,000miles or 2 years.
I was given this information from Honda, due to our Jazz having to go back to the garage 4 times because of loss of power/pull.
I was also told that the CVT box should be Flushed every 4 years.
 We had the CVT, drained-flushed-refilled, all paid for by Honda supplying dealer and our Zoo-Zoo is now running great.
My wife and I are wondering if we were to be: drained-flushed-refilled, would that help our (old age) aches and pains,
    :-X

 I beg your pardon.  It would appear that if I'm dead, I won't wake up, however if  I do wake up and nothing is hurting, something must have fallen off me during the night, that being the case, I hope the cat hasn't eaten it.
 I would continue but it's time for my Tablets, Coming  Nurse......if it hasn't fallen off    :P

In my younger days I was 'flushed, drained and refilled' and was often not feeling any pain on a regular basis and lived to tell the tale.
Now I would agree that if nothing hurts then you are probably dead !

This is what my local dealer said but could not find this info in the service book, did not seem to list the jazz model.

My local Honda agent's computer system shows that my hybrid's CVT oil was changed at the last service so it seems that someone was too lazy to tick the box on the checklist. Either that or they are being naughty boys and billing Honda for work that wasn't done (it was my last service in the service package I bought with the car).

This matter of CVT fluid changes is a bit of a minefield.  On the GE jazz, does  the change from I shift auto to cvt auto
correspond with the facelift change, or put another way, are there any pre facelift models with CVT or any facelift models with I shift?  If the changes in transmission and facelift were simultaneous, then all GE facelift cars with CVT are 2012 models even if registered in 2011, because all facelift jazzes are classed as 2012 models. If this is the case then they should have a fluid change at 2 years or 25000 miles. My own jazz was registered Oct 2011,the salesman confirmed that it would be the 2012 model, my local dealer says the car has to be registered in 2012 to qualify for the fluid change. This does not seem logical to me.  Have I got it all wrong?

All CVTs (and Hybrids) are facelift models, I-SHIFT was pre-facelift. The facelift was designated by Honda as 2012 Model Year despite caming out in early 2011 (this practice is common in the US).

I'll make this topic a pinned topic and put a link in the Specification topic and FAQ forum.
