3 quarts of CVT fluid is not enough. Believe me. I changed mine about 2 months ago, bought 3, and then had to go back to the Honda dealer for the fourth.

3 quarts on the CVT isn't enough. Plan 3.4 for both if you change the filters on both. You might need another tenth or two after run and leak check.
