A transmission fluid is, in effect, the lifeblood of your Honda Civic. It protects the gears and clutches that make it go. Without good transmission fluid, you can expect to experience overheating or leaks. The best transmission fluid for Honda Civic will protect its internals for years to come when combined with regular oil changes.
The best transmission fluids are made from synthetic materials like esters and polyglycols which resist heat better than organic solvents found in most mineral oils. Synthetic best transmissions fluids also have a higher viscosity index than mineral oils which makes them more resistant to shear forces created by sudden stops and starts.
If you own a Honda Civic, then you know that it can be difficult to find the best transmission fluid for your car. This is because there are so many options out there and each one has its own pros and cons. In this article, we will explore some of the best transmission fluids on the market today and help you figure out which one would work best with your vehicle.
How Much Transmission Fluid Does a Honda Civic Take?
New 1.5L Turbo Honda Civic with automatic transmission takes about 8 quarts of ATF. The 1.5L Turbo Honda Civic with a manual transmission takes about 2 liters of MTF. The 2.0L Turbo Honda Civic with automatic transmission takes about 6 quarts of ATF. The 2.0L Turbo Honda Civic with a manual transmission takes about 2.2 liters of MTF.
What Kind Of A Transmission Fluid Does a Honda Civic Take?
For the CVT in a Honda Civic, you’ll need Honda HCF-2 fluid. Do not mix Honda HCF-2 with other transmission fluids. Using a different transmission fluid than Honda HCF-2 may damage your car’s transmission and cause it to fail.
Honda’s new vehicle limited warranty does not cover any damage caused by using a transmission fluid that is not HCF-2.
High transmission temperatures are produced by driving in mountainous areas at low vehicle speeds.
The recommended interval for transmission fluid changes if you drive your vehicle under these conditions is every 40,000 kilometers (25,000 miles).
If Honda MTF is not accessible, you can use API-certified SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20 viscosity motor oil as a substitute.
Replace with MTF as soon as feasible. Motor oil is not formulated to contain the correct additives for the transmission, and frequent use can cause diminished shifting performance and potential transmission damage.
