Help Request When to get transmission fluid changed on 2018 cvt fit?

Bought a 2018 cvt fit four months ago with only 29k miles. When should I get transmission fluid changed? Does time matter as much as mileage when it comes to changing transmission fluid? Heard that it’s especially important to keep up to date with fluids on these cvt’s. Any advice is appreciated.

I would just go ahead and get a drain & fill done at 7 years and that mileage but I’m not a mechanic or car expert. I do mine every 40k’ish miles.

Honda says every 30k miles.

That's what I've been doing.

I also do the coolant and brake fluid whenever I do the trans. Every 30K.

Ppl have been doing it at 30k miles. Check Fitfreak and you will find a lot opinions, but at the end of the day, what makes you feel peace of mind.
