3,300 is not much, I remember another thread were a US Honda dealership wanted 9,000 USD to replace the CVT.CVT replaced at 17,000 miles because of a howling noise on light throttle near 25 mph. I waited 3 months before I brought it in - time for it to become loud enough to be really noticable. They called it a good will replacement, I called it a bad trans. If I remember correctly the paperwork said $3,300, I didn't pay a dime. I changed fluid on the new trans at 30,000 miles, fluid looked good, magnet had very little stuck to it.
Wow that's a lot ?7 months of ownership and 66,945 miles here.
6200 miles since 2016
Wow that's a lot ?
How is that even possible, are you a full time Uber or Lyft driver?
I need almost ten years till I reach 67k miles.
No, i’m actually a Door Dash driver. But, yeah, that is a lot if mileage for a vehicle that is only 7 months old.Wow that's a lot ?

260,000 miles on that 2016 Civic?! Must be a new world record. With that being said already, Have you had any issues with the engine or tranny since then?Ymmv but just a tip, ive always put the cheapest oil in my car as long as it is API certified and Dexos 2 over 260,000 miles now and if i have wear it isn’t noticeable by any means and if your not gonna keep your car for 200,000 miles than why bother with expensive oils? My car is an appliance for me, it will get replaced when i get a repair that costs more than the vehicle itself. So thats my point of view.
You put more mileage per month than i do on my vehicle! I havent had any issues other than the TSB for the grinding on startup noise when the car was new. Only issues i’ve had are worn out suspension components, zero drivetrain issues, and i was tuned for a short period of time as well.No, i’m actually a Door Dash driver.

I wondered how much farther you can go before the engine and tranny goes out on ya?You put more mileage per month than i do on my vehicle!

I think for my usage, i dont have a lot of stop and go traffic, so the transmission is at its optimal temperature, the fluids are staying warm, not as many cold starts so less wear on the engine i cant say for certain how long this car would last but ive heard of people putting close to a million miles on their vehicles with the original drivetrain, i believe honda made a good CVT its able to be tuned with out the CVT belt slipping so for normal usage i suspect it lasting many more miles. And if not the car has already paid for itself with how many miles ive put.I wondered how much farther you can go before the engine and tranny goes out on ya?
