Hello all,
I came across this very interesting Forum on all things related to motor oil which searching for the correct method of how to check the Cold and Hot CVT Fluid level of a 2008 Honda Jazz/Fit 1.4 i-dsi.
I recently had to top up the oil level after I detected a slow leak from the drain plug. The previous owner from whom I purchase the Honda from had supposedly change the CVT Fluid so I suspect he did not tighten the plug bolt properly.
After topping it up with new oil, but struggling to figure out if I might have over filled it. When I check with the engine hot after driving say 10 miles the oil level is showing correctly at slightly higher then A in the diagram attached.
However, when I let the engine cool down overnight the oil level should be between B and C but it appears to indicate well above the A marking on the dipstick as though it had been over filled.
Very strange behaviour. Don't quite know whether I should drain out some of the oil or leave it.
Any help on the above will be greatly apprecited.
Thanks in advance!
