Honda Accord: Transmission Fluid

• Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Fluid

Have a dealer check the fluid level and replace if necessary.
NOTICE
Do not mix HCF-2 with other transmission fluids.
Using a transmission fluid other than HCF-2 may adversely affect the operation and durability of your vehicle's transmission, and damage the transmission.
Any damage caused by using a transmission fluid that is not equivalent to HCF-2 is not covered by Honda's new vehicle warranty.

Have a dealer check the fluid level and replace if necessary.
