How often should you change the CVT fluid in a Honda Insight?
My Insight is MUCH smoother after the fluid change. IMO, if you want to keep your CVT in top shape, do not wait until 30K. Do it every other oil change. I’d also change the inline filter at some point. Perhaps the 2nd or 3rd fluid change. FYI, the temple of Honda recommends every 12 thousand miles you change the cvt fluid.
What kind of oil is used in CVT?
CVT Fluid V (Van Doorne) is a highly advanced, Full Synthetic, long drain, red coloured Automatic Transmission fluid manufactured with advanced Synthetic Base Oils and utilising state of the art Additive technology for applications in many modern types of Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT).
Do you change the CVT fluid every other oil change?
Yes Honda owners in the know do change the automatic trans fluid every other oil change. In typical Honda automatics, that would be a normal drain & fill, changing only about 1/3 of the fluid. Apparently in the CVT, almost all the fluid drains when you change it.
Can you use CVT fluid V in a Subaru?
CVT Fluid V is NOT SUITABLE for use in LuK type CVTs as used in Audi (Multitronic). It is also not suited for use in Honda models with a starting clutch such as Jazz GD and CR-Z, Subaru (with LuK type systems), VW and where low viscosity CVT fluids are required such as Nissan NS-3.
