My 2016 Civic EX (57k miles) popped up with MM codes 3 and 7 during my last oil change. So as I was shopping around for prices on the brake and cvt fluid changes, one of the shops said I didn't have to do either until 100k miles. They said if I still wanted to get both fluids changed, they'd charge $100 for brake fluid and $120 for cvt.
I realize this is the opposite problem many people run into, since shops/dealers tend to recommend fluid changes more frequently, not less. This particular shop is one of the most highly rated in the area, so I hesitate to just discount their recommendation. I read in the owners manual that cvt fluid should be done as early as 25k for low speed mountain driving and brake fluid should be done every 3 years if MM doesn't show it. I had my cvt fluid changed before 20k miles already anyway (thanks honda dealer...)
So what do you guys think? Anybody else hear the 100k fluid change interval?
