WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

CVT fluid

: Refer to Recommended Fluid and Lubricants .

Fluid capacity

: Refer to Recommended Fluid and Lubricants .
CAUTION:
  • During adjustment of the CVT fluid level, check CONSULT so that the oil temperature may be maintained from 35 to 45 deg. C (95 to 113 deg. F).
  • Maintain specified engine idle speed during CVT fluid level adjustment. Refer to IDLE SPEED : Service Data .
  • Use caution when looking into the drain hole as there is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye.
  1. Check that the shift position is in the "P" position, then completely engage the parking brake.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. Adjust the CVT fluid temperature to be approximately 40 deg. C (104 deg. F).
    NOTE: The CVT fluid is largely affected by temperature. Therefore be sure to use CONSULT and check the "FLUID TEMP" under "TRANSMISSION" in "Data Monitor" while adjusting.
  4. While depressing the brake pedal, shift to the entire position from "P" to "D", and shift to the "P" position.
    NOTE: Hold the lever at each position for 5 seconds.
  5. Lift up the vehicle.
  6. Check that there is no CVT fluid leakage.
  7. Remove the overflow plug SYMBOL from converter housing.

    CAUTION: Perform this work with the vehicle idling.
  12. When the flow of CVT fluid slows to a drip, remove the charging pipe from the converter housing.
  13. Tighten the overflow plug to the specified torque. Refer to Exploded View .
