TS,
At 3 years old, the CVT fluid has to be changed. It's either 40,000km or 2 years whichever comes first. If you didn't change at Honda SC, you are asking for trouble.
My ride is less than 20,000km and it's due for CVT fluid change in the next service (2 years old). Am I going to skip this? Hell, no.

2014 city uses torque converter gearbox, these gearboxes even if passed the service mileage won't have much issues, but the new city uses CVT gearboxes which need strict service care. And CVT gearboxes cost a bomb, like that rm20k, considered a little bit cheap compared to last time's 2007 honda city rm23k.

2014 City uses CVT too. The torque converter you are referring to is the part that connects engine to gearbox. New City or the soon to be phased out current gen City also uses CVT with torque converter.
Edit: new City = soon to be phased out current gen City.

Inb4 CVT gearbox no need to worry about slipping gear because they always feel like slipping anyway.

CVT's service interval is every 40k
but every brand's interval is a little different, not sure about honda but definitely not 50k
50k is too long already

City is 40k or 2 years, whichever comes first.

just follow the mandatory service recipe ..skip this skip that will give SC excuse to void your warranty

There are owners who insist on not changing parts like cabin filter because Honda SC charges > RM100 for it when "we can get Bosch charcoal filter for RM50-plus or thereabouts". I told them not to cry father cry mother if aircon or aircon blower warranty is voided because the system says cabin filter has never been changed.

They told me, as long as they can show receipts for the filter, Honda has no reason to void warranty. I said, good luck and why not do the same for engine oil and CVT fluid using this logic?

haha..usually SC will mandatory or basic service as per mileage.. then they will have some extra (like aircond service or balancing/alignment).. just skip those extras and do outside..

then they should honor us the warranty according to user manual.

Aircon filter changing is stated there as a requirement, based on interval or mileage, whichever comes first.
In TS' case, skipped servicing was the reason warranty was void although one can argue the mileage is <40k. Question is, do you have the time and most importantly the money to argue with them?

I’m a pretty relaxed type of driver. So on my Nissan when I engage D I wait for half a second for the car to creep a bit then I tekan minyak.

I also have a custom cvt oil cooler installed. So far no whining noise, car is a smooth operator (almost 160k km already). Cvt oil and filter changed every 40k km.

My wife on the other hand, steps on the accelerator of her Honda city (cvt gb) like she stole the car.

When your wife's car is sold to dealer, it will be re-sold with "lady owner" as selling point. The irony.

I think you lost focus. My concern is 3 years car faultiness happen on gearbox , isnt it not normal? You like to call people stupid, hope your car doesnt breakdown the next day warranty is over.
Dont zoom in my picture, since someone has so much trust with service center. You might not need this supporting

That's why I asked whether you did any CVT fluid change outside. Did you?
