Hi guys my car almost 50k miles. I always change my engine oil and i already changed my cvt fluid.

but my engine coolant,power steering fuid and brake fluid are still stock. Do you think its required to change those 3 fluid? Sorry my english are bad.

Brake fluid should have been changed a long time ago.

Pretty sure we have electronic steering so no power steering fluid
Brake fluid 3 years or 60,000km, whichever comes first
Coolant 5 years or 100,000km, whichever comes first

This is what i understand for the fluids you mentioned

10th gen civics have electric power steering. the dealer may say you need to change the fluid but there is none lol

Just pushed past 170,000 miles this past weekend. It was time for a CVT fluid change according to Maintenance Minder. It had been 35,000 miles (and only 13 months) since the last change. I drive a LOT of high-speed highway miles (mostly 85 mph with cruise control).

As usual, it was a very straightforward change. The old fluid was clean and clear, only slightly darker than new fluid.

160,000 miles on a phearable tune. Had to remove the transmission twice to replace the shaft seal because the transmission fluid got too hot. Added a beefy transmission cooler and should be good to go now.

What temperatures equate to “too hot”? Is there a specific duration at that temp that damage will occur?

Anything in 220’-230’ too long will cause the seal to leak. I now make sure I keep it under 212’z

Interesting... My CVT is consistently at 220*F (slightly above at times) for several hours. 90*F+ ambient, 85-90 mph for 13 hours over 1000 miles. Two days later I'm heading back doing the same thing. Every other weekend.

I have 177,000 miles on it now (100k miles in the last 2.5 years); when should I expect the seal to leak? How will I know it is leaking?

I noticed it when I get to closer to 230 for 1-2 hours of constant hard driving. You will know it’s leaking because it will leave a pool of cvt fluid on your driveway. I probably drive it too hard lol.
