CVTF is any Constant Velocity Transmission fluid (perhaps you are referencing Nissan's CVT fluid, sold as "CVTF") while HCF-2 is Honda's own second generation CVT fluid.

I would recommend using Honda's CVT fluid, HCF-2, if it is listed in your owner's manual as the correct fluid for your CVT transmission. Alternatively, you can call the parts department at a Honda dealership to confirm the correct fluid. Sometimes their recommendations change.

You're supposed to be using the older Honda CVT-1 which is more commonly known as "Honda CVT".

HCF-2 is formulated for the third generation of Fit CVT transmissions and is NOT backwards compatible on the second gen Fit unless specified in the owner's manual.

It depends on market, the label for the US version may not be the same as other markets. More than likely, their second gen Fit/Jazz is NOT HCF-2 as it was being phased in when the GE was soon to be phased out.
