Just change your CVT fluid every 20k is good enough.

CVT is a type of transmission, not engine technology.
With proper maintenance, engines are built to last a long way to go...
*Except the premature 10 year life expectancy in SG hor...hahaha...

[Mr_Bean]

any decent workshop can do that, its included in your servicing according to mileage

Bought from PI?

Just follow the servicing schedule is sufficient.

40k is under normal driving condition. Singapore's traffic condition is classified as extreme driving condition due to the frequent start-stop traffic and short distance driving. So 20k is recommended for such extreme driving conditions.

yes PI, so normally the workshop will remind us what to change unless we want to do it early ? so for normal situation it should be about 40k then change the cvt fluid loh?

Normally 40k.
But as CVT is not as robust as 4/5AT at the moment, many do a "drain-and-fill" at 20k since gearbox replacement is v costly.

can either choose cvtf or hmmf.
hmmf more ex.
for frequent chang cvtf will do just fine.

if can afford, try to change slightly b4 20k km.

heard of several older version jazz GD versions having cvt probs despite changing every 20k km religiously.

10k seems hardcore to me so prob 15k km if you can.

my friends GD1 5 yr old 1xxk km cvt gearbox still gg strong.
but he changes its like 10k km since abt 50k km.

not sure if its really needed but then again, i think its worth the cost to maintain as overhauling that cvt box will go into the region of 1+ k to 2k.

cvtf is oil? what is hmmf?

do we need to buy anything to flush the cvt before we top up with cvtf or hmmf? any brand for cvtf ,hmmf and for flushing ?

No need to flush. Just drain and top up with genuine Honda CVTF or HMMF.

Thanks! Will have to recheck what to do for my next servicing.

can use other brand other than from honda because dunno my workshop have these or not, also between cvtF and hmmf which one can last longer before the next change? roughly how much for the cvtf and hmmf?

Better not as Honda CVTF or HMMF are specially formulated for Honda's CVT only. If your workshop doesn't have, why not buy from stockist and bring the fluid to your workshop next time? CVTF should be about $40 while HMMF is about $80.

I suggest you join Fit Jazz Club forum (http://forum.sg-fit-jazz.com) for more information.
