Title: CVT-F Oil Options
Post by: cyrax.net on August 02, 2026, 08:53:12 PM

2007 1.4 i-DSi

I've read that the OEM gearbox fluid is best but the prices are ridiculous for such an old vehicle.

The Westway one is commonly recommended here if I'm not mistaken. https://www.westwayoils.co.uk/products/cvt-f-fluid-suitable-for-honda-vehicles-honda-hmmf-fluid?variant=41342109515964 (https://www.westwayoils.co.uk/products/cvt-f-fluid-suitable-for-honda-vehicles-honda-hmmf-fluid?variant=41342109515964)

My local auto parts have in stock and recommended https://granvilleoil.com/prodInfo?pID=581 (https://granvilleoil.com/prodInfo?pID=581). Anyone used this Granville? Specs seems to be similar.

Other questions:

• * Is it 3.3L in total required?
• * Is it easy enough to drain from the bottom sump, or even easier to use an oil extractor pump (I have one used previously for engine oil)?

Thanks

I looked at these oils as an alternative. But decided to go with the Honda oil as a new gearbox is around £4000.

I tried to change the oil on my Jazz but could not undo the sump plug. Took it back to the dealer I bought it from and he did it on his lift. I put it on a ramp and because it is a 3/8" square drive I could not get enough swing on the ratchet to undo it. I could have jacked it up but it was easier to take it to the seller.
I gave then a 4 litre can and asked for it to be returned and it had just under a litre left.

My Jazz is a 1.4 2012
