| Answer to: CVT transmission purpose | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have driven a 2015 Honda CRV going on 99K+ miles for the last 6 years. It’s not as bad as folks make it out to be. If you are a regular consumer, I don’t think you can tell the difference between a CVT and an automatic. It just works. Most consumers don’t probably care about CVT’s unless it breaks down on them. And that’s probably one of the big reasons for the shift towards CVT’s. I can tell for sure. But that’s because I can tell the difference and know what to look for. TBH, I don’t mind it much. It’s a comfortable smooth ride. With that said, thi ... | |||||
| Answer to: 2016 Honda Civic lx opinions | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| See below: The LX has the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with port injection, which is as good as you can do for longevity in modern Honda’s (don’t have to worry about oil dilution found in the smaller displacement turbo GDI engines). You didn’t state if CVT or manual transmission, but if CVT I would change transmission fluid (and filter if applicable) every 30,000 miles to get the most life out of it. Also, some had AC issues - something to plan for (just in case). | |||||
| Change CVT Transmission Fluid by only Siphoning then Refilling from the Top Refill Tube - 2013 Honda? | 18Relevance | 6 months ago | carwrecker33 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Question for you transmission experts. 2013 Honda Insight with 63,000 miles and Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) transmission1.3L hybrid engine Having NO issues. Transmission shifting fine. Maintenance manual says replace transmission fluid. Because its a CVT transmission, even the local shop that advertises itself as a Transmission Repair Shop will NOT work on the CVT. I am considering a do-it-myself simple fluid change without pulling the bottom plug and filter. Considering putting a siphon down the top refill tube, sucking out the old fluid ... | |||||
| CVT Tranny in a Hybrid | 15Relevance | 6 years ago | Colorado_Boo | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey, Scotty! Long time car monkey...did a lot of work with my Chevys and Pontiacs and Fords...not as much since I started buying Toyotas!! Okay, so you suggest transmission oil/filter change (no flush) every 60,000 miles and for CVT trannies every 40-50,000. But what about the CVT in my 2017 Toyota Prius? I've always changed the oil (synthetic) at 5,000 miles but in the Prius it wasn't even dirty until around 9,000 miles. Is it the same for the CVT or do both the gas engine and electric motors both use it so should be done at same 40-50,000 miles? | |||||

| ... Jatco) has cracked the code and will outlast them? For piece of mind and if you want the vehicle to last the longest without potential issues/annoyance or a complete replacement of the transmission (good luck finding someone who can competently rebuild a CVT) I would avoid the CVT. I also would avoid the CVTs in Honda’s and Toyota’s for that matter (again with longevity in mind). | |||||
| Answer to: Nissan CVT transmission versus their standard Transmission? Yay or nay? | 15Relevance | 6 years ago | USAFdozerpilot | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Until the technology becomes solid I would never even think about buying a vehicle with a CVT transmission. Nissans jatco is by far the worst but if you do some online reading even Honda’s CVT is riddled with issues. They need more maintenance frequently and they just don’t hold up. I know there are people who take a vehicle with a CVT into the 100k range but it’s a minority compared to the ones that barely make it 100k before complete failure and replacement is needed. Stay with Toyota, the Asin automatics are great for the most part or even better find a m ... | |||||
| 2019 Honda Fit LX - Complete CVT service needed? | 18Relevance | 2 years ago | raiello | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, Big Fan of yours - all your videos are great. I have a 2019 Honda Fit LX and I want to do a complete CVT service (both filters, cooler O-rings pan gasket etc.). I went to the Dealer to get a parts list (over $250.00 for just the parts... will be getting the parts from Rock Auto) and the parts guy said most of the parts will need to be ordered as they do not stock them.... then the parts guy told me when you bring your car in for a CVT service - they only do a drain and fill - they don't replace filters? I find that very odd as filters get dirty a ... | |||||
| Ticking sound from dashboard | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | Apa | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, Hello from a fan and subscriber in the Philippines! I own a 2018 Honda CRV with a 1.6 turbo diesel engine. There is a ticking sound emanating from the dashboard whenever the ignition key is inside the car. This sound persists whether the vehicle is off, idling or moving. I had the vehicle checked at the Honda dealership where I bought my vehicle right before its warranty expired last June ‘21. The finding from their technicians and warranty engineers was that “…this ticking emanates from the electric brake booster utilized on all 2018-onwards CR- ... | |||||
| Answer to: Which car should I buy? | 17Relevance | 1 year ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The 2.4L engine in that 2014 has a history of excess oil consumption, especially if it is equipped with a Theta II engine. Hyundai/Kia products are poorly made vehicles, and that thing has super high mileage. That's going to most likely be a ticking time bomb. The Subaru is almost 15 years old and it has almost 200k miles on it. Stopping and starting are the CVT's weakest link. Subaru doesn't have Toyota's launch gear, and first starting out on a conventional CVT places huge strain on the CVT's belt. Toyota saw this and it developed and patented a dedicated launch gear to help take the strain off of the belt. Nobody in your mom-and-pop transmission shop has a clue about rebuilding CVTs; when that CVT goes out, your only real option will be a remanufactured unit, which will easily cost thousands to replace. Pass, if you value your money. | |||||

| CVT is the "wave of the future" for smaller cars. We are stuck. Nissan owners are still reporting failures on newer CVT's. Might want to avoid them for now. Likewise, those Nissan/Jatco CVT's are installed in some other vehicles (Mitsubishi, Jeep ....) | |||||

| Toyota makes the best CVT out there and then Honda. When it comes to turbocharged engine's definitely Honda over any other brand and then I'd say Toyota. It's true that regular automatic or naturally aspired engines are the best for longevity, but a good CVT isn't bad. If you want one of these go for it. With CVT change the transmission fluid every 30k miles and if turbo use the gf6 motor oil Scotty has said to use and you'll be fine. | |||||

| Regarding Honda CVTs, see below: They are better now than when they first rolled out back for 2015 model year (when they had issues). Currently, of all the automakers using CVT, there’s seems the best (so far). Jury still out on Toyota’s CVTs. That being said, be sure to change the CVT transmission fluid every 30,000 miles with the OEM fluid, and don’t drive like a maniac (be easy on it) or tow with it. | |||||
