Aisin ATF-HCV in place of HCF-2?

[OilyGuy]

There's not a whole lot of info online concerning people using Aisin ATF-HCV as a substitute for Honda HCF-2 fluid. I found this technical data sheet that claims it covers both Honda's CVT and HCF-2 part numbers. Anyone here have any experience? I'm interested in using it in my 2019 HRV.

It should be fine. I don't think it's that picky on fluid, and changing it is very easy.

I've used Amalie CVT with no problem. Amalie supplies many parts store house brands, including Autozone/STP, AAP/Fram, and in some regions, Walmart/ST

The factory HCF-2 is amber in color, IIRC.
