Hello all,

I living in Belarus. Recently I have bought this car. I have changed transmissions oil ARAL ATF Z1 (not vor cvt). And I have learnt that this oil not for CVT just now. How to know - which type of transmission in my car?

VIN JHMGD38647S024229
Number on a transmission: SMMA-1027697

Sorry for my English

 

you my friend have a GD3 FIT. amen brother! Do you have the owners manual? It gives a good idea on what stock lubricants that should be used. also, how much milage are you at with the FIT? I dont have a leak or seal problem on mine and the transmission is shifting great so i dont plan to change trans oil until the maintence minder tells me. Honda proof i guess. (53,000mi on mine)

 

i dont have any problems with transmission. My FIT is 46000 mi.
i dont have owners manual, and i dont know can i use Aral oil in my transmission.

 

Its the 5 speed auto with overdrive. Judging by the VIN its a US spec Fit and those came with either a 5 speed manual or 5 speed auto both with overdrive. The CVT trans was not available as an option in the US or Canada.

Edit: You can also use the parts search at Bernardi Parts to find out what trans you have. Just punch in your VIN here and click search, every part that comes up as a result will be listed for your Fit.

 

As Hootie said, it appears that your Fit came from America or Canada. You have a regular 5 speed automatic transmission. You do not have a CVT.

 

Sorry I didn't explain myself better, the boys obviously did! Anyhow, your AT will take ATF-Z1 by honda or you csn use a dextron III ATF as a replacement. I personally feel that japanese cars such as ours should be fine with any ATF! But alas, I've never heard of that brand you mentioned.
