This car is a 2017 Honda Civic 1.5 turbo EX-T and has 106,000 miles. It has a CVT transmission and I change the fluid every 30K miles using the original Honda HCF-2. Everybody calls is ATF, automatic transmission fluid, but in reality it is fluid for a CVT, continuous velocity transmission. Please send me a comment if you have any questions.
