How do you do a transmission flush on my car? Its a CVT. I have the car listed above SE model. I am asking for help with draining my CVT transmission. I noticed that the transmission drain plug is much more larger than 2018 Honda Accords. My 2020 looks like a 10 mm hex and a 2018 Accord use a Allen Wrench for the drain plug and for the straw plug inside the drain hole. My question was, do my 2020 Accord have a straw plug inside the drain hole that needs to be screwed out to drain more CVT Fluid?

Hello,

For the transmission fluid change you will have to remove 2 plugs. One is 10 mm hex another is 6 mm hex.

I have attached the fluid change procedure for your reference.

Thank you.
