New Owner 2013 Fit
I am 77yo retired and have bought Honda Fit 2013 and have a question about CVT,, Are they relatively robust for an easy driver (10,000 miles a year). I have watched YOUTuBE videos and noticed that they all recommend Honda CVT fluid "BUT" it looks light yellow on screen and Mine is Bright Red and clear (just like new dexron) What would You do next.
My 2013 Fit has been great for me

I also have the 5 speed auto transmission with 162,000 miles on it and it is an excellent, solid transmission. I drain and fill my transmission myself at least once per year with original Honda Red ATF bought from my local Honda dealer.
The CVT transmission in the Honda HRV from 2014 to 2020 had serious failure issues.
I am 66 yrs old and do all my oil changes and transmission drain and fills myself as I enjoy the work. Just had a local independent repair shop here in Sacramento replace my struts, rear shocks, and sway bar links yesterday as the CA potholes definitely are hard on suspensions.
Remember to keep up on your maintenance, fluid changes, and air filter changes and your car will go along time. Good luck with your new to you 2013 Honda Fit.
