FlyboyZee:

Please, do you have a problem with me advising the OP and all other car owners to stick to the manufacturer's recommendations? I don't get it. What's your point again?

FlyboyZee:

My bad! I never knew its wrong to stick to manufacturer's recommendations.

disloman:
It is a shame u av a comprehension problem. Told u that u r too level to understand.I knw u av a rough day.Take a rest n read what u quoted again.

GAZZUZZ:


Please take correction, if every one is doing it wrong, don't follow. There's a difference in viscosity between z1 and CVTF, transsmission oils. At least we know where not to take honda citiys to.

I will contact honda place apapa and find out if its true that they use Z1 for their cvt vehicles, good thing signature is available for refrence.

don't get mi wrong.not all cvt vehicle.I said honda city.U r highly welcome.

This is Honda’s ATF-Z1 automatic transmission fluid. The Z1 fluid has been a main-stay in our arsenal, going through about 12 quarts a day for services. We have found a quality bulk fluid to supplant the Z1 in order to reduce the environmental impact, and comply with our Green Business Ideas. We always have Z1 on hand, so if you prefer the Honda fluid for your car, just let us know.


Honda’s 2011 transmissions now require ATF-DW1. This fluid can be used in all transmissions that call for Z1, but not the other way around. You cannot use bulk or Z1 in the new vehicles. Why not a new fluid, right?


CVT fluid was introduced around 1996 for the Civic HX with the Continuously Variable Transmission. It is also used in Honda’s Insight Hybrid, and the 2003 and newer Civic Hybrids. Servicing this fluid is crucial to the operation of the transmission, and it appears the condition will have a direct effect on start-up judder (shaking on initial acceleration). This is a known issue with Honda CVTs, and your first order of business as an owner should be to contact your Honda dealership to determine whether you’re eligible for warranty coverage. They should be able to confirm this over the phone, so you don’t risk wasting money. Due to the finnickey nature of this fluid, we strongly recommend fluid service every 15k, AND whenever necessary during the oil changes.

GAZZUZZ:


More education, I'm skiping some parts

Read the whole lecture here, and stop killing peoples transmission with wrong fluids.

All honda place needs is one person that changed transsmission fluids recently on his honda city to see a staffer running his mouth about using wrong fluids, and litigation could follow up. Please re-educate ur bosses at honda place apapa, blog mechanics also have a little sense (without certificate ) because they READ.

If you did not use the oil recommended for your car by its manufacturer, even if you reset it, the indicator would still come on again. Whether Synthetic or not, just stick to the car manufacturer's recommendation and do a reset after that and it will take a longer time before the light appears again depending on what the manufacturer has programmed for it...

disloman:
relate this with what u posted n also see also what GAZZUZZ replied to what i quoted.Maintenance light gat nothing to do with d recommended engine oil.

@Dis very low man, where you dey? &,why you dey hide? I don ready for you now. Oya come out now! Yeye foul...

As pointed out, that light is a service reminder.
Resetting it is a simple DIY procedure that should be done once your car's servicing has been done:

-Insert your key into the ignition.
-Press and hold down the trip reset button beside the speedometer.
-Turn the key to the 'ON' position. Don't start the engine.
*You should see 4 dashes that disappear one at a time.
*Wait until all the dashes are gone.

-Release the trip reset button.
IT WORKS FOR ME TOO
. THANK U FOR THE ENLIGHTMENT

*The maintenance light should have been reset.

Turn off the key & then start your engine.
