That previous linked video is equivalent to the U.S. Civics (96-00 Civic HX and 01-05 Civic HX and GX), which had CVT. Those earlier Civic CVT transmissions were different than the 2013-14 Accord CVT.

The earlier Civic CVTs used Honda's 1st generation fluid, while the 2013-2014 Accord CVTs used Honda's 2nd generation fluid.

The 2013-2014 Accord CVT does not have a transmission dipstick. On top of your CVT transmission is only a fill cap\plug (to add CVT fluid). There is a Check bolt lower down on the transmission to check fluid level. It similar to checking fluid on a manual transmission.

Transmission Drain:
1. Start car and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on twice). Shut off the car.

2. Jack up and support the car with jack stands. The car should be level when jacked up; so, you can properly check the fluid level afterward.

3. Remove the drain plug and drain the fluid.

4. Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer.

Transmission Fill:
1. Remove the filler cap (plug).

2. Refill with Honda HCF-2 CVT Fluid.

CVT Capacity: 3.5L (3.7 U.S. quart) at change

3. Install filler cap. The filler cap handle should be perpendicular to you if you're standing directly in front of the car.

Transmission Fluid Check:
Note: Do not remove the Check bolt before or during refilling of the CVT.

1. Apply the parking brake.

2. Start the engine in P.

3. Move the shift lever through all positions while pressing the brake pedal firmly, and wait at least 3 seconds in each position.

4. Move the shift lever back to P and shut off the car.

5. Remove the Check bolt and sealing washer.

6. The transmission fluid is at proper level if the transmission fluid is dripping from the check hole gradually (a slow and gradual drip).

If the fluid is low, loosely install the check bolt, remove the filler cap and add fluid. Then repeat step #2.

7. With the fluid at proper level, re-install check bolt with new sealing washer.

See attached images.

I see you have the FSM, where do you download a manual from?

Your post was moved, as it is considered thread jacking.

As indicated in several other threads, service repair manual info. for the 2013 and newer is only available via an online subscription service:
