No, CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) fluid should not be used in a traditional automatic transmission (ATF). Each type of transmission requires specific fluid formulated for its design and performance characteristics. Using the wrong fluid can lead to poor performance, increased wear, and potential damage to the transmission. Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications for the appropriate fluid type.

No, CVT fluid and automatic transmission fluid (ATF) are specifically formulated for different types of transmissions and are not interchangeable. Using CVT fluid in an ATF gearbox can lead to improper lubrication, increased wear, and potential damage to the transmission. It's crucial to use the manufacturer-recommended fluid type for optimal performance and longevity of the transmission. Always consult the owner's manual or a professional mechanic for guidance.

Individual changing transmission fluid Honda civic hx cvt?

'96-'99 CVT fluid changes are relatively simple. There is a bolt on the passenger side of the transmission that accepts a 1/2" socket wrench nub. Remove that to drain fluid. Put new fluid in (approx 4 quarts). BTW Honda CVT fluid is no longer available, talk to your Honda dealer about what fluid to use. They recommended to me the Honda Genuine ATF. Whatever you do, use only Honda approved ATF for this tranny. Also, flushing the system is recommended for this trans since it has no filter (just the standard magnetic bolt).
