Honda HR-V: Transmission Fluid
Continuously variable transmission models
■Continuously Variable Transmission Fluid
Specified fluid: Honda HCF-2 Transmission Fluid
Have a dealer check the fluid level and replace if necessary.
NOTICE
Do not mix HCF-2 with other transmission fluids
Using a transmission fluid other than HCF-2 may adversely affect the operation and durability of your vehicle's transmission, and damage the transmission.
Any damage caused by using a transmission fluid that is not equivalent to HCF-2 is not covered by Honda's new vehicle warranty.
Manual transmission models
■Manual Transmission Fluid
Specified fluid: Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF)
Have a dealer check the fluid level and replace if necessary.
If Honda MTF is not available, you may use the API certificated SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20 viscosity motor oil as a temporary measure.
Replace with MTF as soon as possible. Motor oil does not contain the proper additives for the transmission and continued use can cause decreased shifting performance and lead to transmission damage.
Brake Fluid
Specified fluid: Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3
■Checking the Brake Fluid
The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the reservoir.
Manual transmission models
The brake fluid reservoir is also used for your vehicle's clutch fluid. As long as you keep the brake fluid level as instructed above, there is no need for checking the clutch fluid level.

NOTICE
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your vehicle's braking system and can cause extensive damage.
If the specified brake fluid is not available, you should use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid from a sealed container as a temporary replacement.
Using any non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the longevity of the system. Have the brake system flushed and refilled with Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3 as soon as possible.
If the brake fluid level is at or below the MIN mark, have a dealer inspect for leaks or worn brake pads as soon as possible.
Refilling Window Washer Fluid
Models without washer level sensor
Check the amount of window washer fluid by looking at the reservoir.
If the level is low, fill the washer reservoir.
Canadian models
