Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and I'm looking at buying a 2011 Jazz with the i-VTEC engine with an automatic CVT transmission. I saw the thread in the FAQ section in regards to changing the CVT fluids every 2 years in these models. Is there a way to check the fluid in these models? Is there a dip stick I can check? Or is the transmission sealed?

Hi . Yes there is a dip stick but it is a bit hard to reach !

Thanks Nab. Can you tell me where to look?

Cheers.

It's below the battery and slightly forward. It is hard to reach especially if you have big hands.
It takes quite a pull to get it out and an equally good push to get it back in. Twist it slightly when doing both.
