How often should the transmission fluid be changed in a Honda CR-V?
1 Answers
Honda CR-V transmission fluid replacement intervals vary depending on the transmission type: 1. Automatic transmission fluid should be changed every 40,000 kilometers; 2. Manual transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 kilometers. The methods for changing Honda CR-V transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Gravity Drain: The process is similar to changing engine oil. Loosen the oil pan bolt and let the transmission fluid drain out by gravity. This is the most common and easiest method, but it doesn't completely remove all the old fluid. Residual fluid tends to remain in recessed areas. 2. Machine Flush: New transmission fluid is added to a flushing machine, which connects to the transmission's fluid lines. The machine pushes new fluid through while flushing out the old fluid, resulting in a cleaner system. The more new fluid used, the cleaner the system becomes. A machine flush typically requires about 10-13 liters of transmission fluid and takes approximately 1 hour. 3. Oil Pan Removal: This method provides the most thorough cleaning by removing the oil pan at the source, allowing for cleaning of the dirty filter. Removing the oil pan is a major task that requires more labor time and costs significantly more.
