This is the first UOA for me on this transmission. 26,534 miles on this fluid with 56,534 miles on the car's transmission and powertrain. We purchased this Accord new and I did a CVT fluid drain and fill at 10K, 20K, and 30K to get the initial break in contamination out. The recommended run is...

Honda HCF-2 CVT Automatic Fluid VOA from a sealed qt. bottle. I hope this helps get a data point out there for those using OEM fluid with this 2nd generation CVT

Look at the GD series rotors from EBC. They are dimpled and slotted, e-coated for protection as well. I have had a set on my Tacoma for about 5 years and have been problem free. Also using a set of their 7000 series Truck/SUV pads and they are the best front pads I have used in many many years...

It has been my experience over the years that after 80-100K miles of running together (belt & pulleys) they should all be replaced at the same time. If the miles aren't very high you can get away with belt only but you have to clean the pulleys really well with Brake Clean - thoroughly. Bearings...

See My Post Here Did you have a look over at TacomaWorld.com for the cooler line flush procedure? It does take some time to complete, but if you are going to keep your truck for a few years this is really good love for your tranny. I used Toyota WS while under warranty then switched to Amsoil...

If it has the I4 engine there is an 1 upstream (A/F sensor) in the exhaust manifold; it should be visible when you open the hood and look into the engine bay. There is 1 downstream aft of the Pass. side tire in the exhaust pipe, you have to crawl underneath perpendicular to get the best angle to...

You can try a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF (any residual you have) and pour into the tube; takes multiple attempts...you want to keep the carbon saturated as best you can then clean as best you can. You can try some large pipe cleaners twisted together or a small diameter, long stem engine...

When you replace the plugs, clean the throttle body thoroughly, reset your ECM to allow it to relearn the readiness monitor(s) parameters, if your software allows you to watch your O2 sensors working in real time, watch them for a while. Some people like to run them till a code pops up. Usually...

I would do the job with a friend that had access to and experience with precision measurement tools...micrometers, bore gauges, etc. I know the temptation to rering is enticing but doing a rebuild the right way will ensure a long life for your engine. A machinist you trust is of utmost...

If you buy new, physically watch dealer service verify ATF level if you buy an Auto trans model. All model years are known to be underserviced from the factory. Mine was about 3/4 qt low when I took mine in for a TSB that reflashed the tranny shift pattern shortly after I bought it. Take a look...

Please have a look at my post - Here I am just under 49k now on the Honda using FP Plus religiously.

I have several years past experience with the aftermarket small turbine engine repair division of UTC...the division managed in Canada to be precise and the cost structures and pricing schemes are beyond the scope of good business practices. Money has been hemorrhaged/wasted for years while at...

Working on the supply side might be the way to go, probably have to relocate though. My area has a 120-140K combined population and our Sears folded up in mid-December. I'm no business expert but, every time I was in the store, mostly for tool purchase, it looked more and more like a dollar...

Tell your friend that honesty is always the best policy; honesty is something that can be respected. Adoption is always out there. There is a somewhat old fashioned counseling technique called - Good-Bad-Good. Talk about all of the positive that these folks have, then the wants...children; then...

If you can't find a clear/semi-clear graduated plastic bottle at a hobby store or Amazon, Lube Control has one HERE for $2 + shipping. Might be best as an add on with an order but just a last resort thought.

H and A has a 6 pack of Genuine Honda oil filters, 15400-PLM-A01, for $27.84 and you can add 6 drain plug washers for $1.44 Look Here The -A01 is an excellent filter, there are several cut open here and are more than capable of 7500 - 10K in a new engine. Shipping is VERY reasonable with them...

Honda CVT Fluid Change If you haven't already, take a look at post #7, I took a proactive approach on my wife's 2014 Accord w/CVT. We are currently at 42.7K and all is well. I am going to run out this CVT fluid to 60K and see what the story is then. Good luck with your Accord, this is our...

I began using FP Plus in my Cutlass and Tacoma a few years ago, I saw the most benefit in the Tacoma...smoother idle, easier/quicker starting. We bought a 2014 Accord Sedan that my wife drives a lot of highway miles for her job and except for the first few tanks, I have used it religiously with...

There is a drain plug that uses the square drive part of a 3/8 ratchet to loosen and tighten. When removed the fluid just clears the plastic undershield. There is a rubber plug that looks like a dipstick but is a rubber plug for servicing under the hood, has a yellow donut on it that says HCF-2...

I would first reference your tech data for the first reference on TDC. If they want you to bring the crank into position first, start there. You can always roll the cams into position. I haven't done a Toyota timing belt in ages...been with Honda for 13 straight years now. My Tacoma is chains...
