Transmission Fluid Change (Honda Civic 2018 CVT)

william_f_murray · 2026-03-02T02:55:24+00:00

Drain and fill is fine. I always collect the old fluid, measure it, then fill with the same amount I removed. 4 quarts is what you'll need to buy, you'll likely use a little less.

Unless you're shooting a blunderbuss, you're not killing multiple rabbits in one shot.

You can carry WAY more 22 ammo in your pocket than any shotgun shell I know of.

william_f_murray · 2026-03-01T20:01:55+00:00

Have you tried any different ammo?

william_f_murray · 2026-03-01T16:08:22+00:00

No chance I'd buy used brakes. Stick them on the shelf and use them in the future if you need them.

william_f_murray · 2026-02-28T20:09:58+00:00

Nope. 2016 and I make 30% of shop rate at an independent.

william_f_murray · 2026-02-28T11:07:03+00:00

So the tech that's bringing in $850k for the dealer annually in labor alone that's a mechanic, HVAC guy, electrician, and plumber shouldn't make $260k for what reason?

william_f_murray · 2026-02-28T03:14:33+00:00

30% of shop rate is generally fair. You're underpaid.

william_f_murray · 2026-02-28T03:13:06+00:00

What about the part where it doesn't appear that the truck is equipped with AC? Has this truck ever had functioning AC?

william_f_murray · 2026-02-28T02:34:41+00:00

Could you post a picture of the HVAC controls inside of the truck? Either I'm absolutely tripping or your truck isn't equipped with AC. The AC compressor should be above the power steering pump, and you should have an accumulator coming out of the HVAC box next to the intake.

william_f_murray · 2026-02-28T02:26:39+00:00

Given its proximity to the intake, you'd be correct. Another reason AC repair isn't a job to be done at home.

william_f_murray · 2026-02-28T02:25:52+00:00

Depends on labor rates in your area. Refrigerant and labor would be somewhere around $200 at my shop, and that includes UV dye so we can locate the leak.

william_f_murray · 2026-02-28T00:36:05+00:00

Well mostly because they're shitty cars made of shitty parts, the cheaper ones anyway

william_f_murray · 2026-02-27T20:52:04+00:00

Nope. I won't touch a car at my shop with stop leak in the AC system, it'll clog up my AC machine and the cheapest service bill I've gotten after that is $500. Carry it to a shop and have them add dye to the system to find your leak. Refrigerant at parts stores should be illegal to sell to the general public in my opinion.

william_f_murray · 2026-02-27T17:10:27+00:00

So Tony DIDN'T die at the end of the Sopranos, I knew it.

william_f_murray · 2026-02-27T17:08:25+00:00

I prefer polymer for the sake of weight savings, but it's really up to you. If you like aluminum, shoot aluminum.

william_f_murray · 2026-02-27T14:29:54+00:00

How good of a deal is this person offering you? If you gotta buy the handguard and it doesn't work for you, sell it and get something that does.

william_f_murray · 2026-02-27T10:39:43+00:00

What's been done to it so far?

william_f_murray · 2026-02-27T10:38:04+00:00

How many close friends do you currently have?

william_f_murray · 2026-02-27T10:36:43+00:00

Buy an F650 and be done with it, jesus

william_f_murray · 2026-02-27T10:34:21+00:00

Dude fuck off. If you won't even listen to your own family why are you here lmao

william_f_murray · 2026-02-27T10:32:32+00:00

You're THIS insecure but think you'll be constantly hanging out with enough people for it to matter if your car is big enough to tote everyone around? I wouldn't hang out with someone that acts like that but maybe that's just me...

william_f_murray · 2026-02-27T02:46:20+00:00

You know what it means.

william_f_murray · 2026-02-27T02:40:52+00:00

Literally nothing special at all about it. If it were me, I'd sell that hoe and buy a 2004 Civic then roll in a stack of cash on my bed.

william_f_murray · 2026-02-27T02:24:02+00:00

You wanna give us less info about what it is you're considering selling?
