How often should the transmission fluid in a CRV be changed?
1 Answers
For CRV manual transmission models, the transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 kilometers. For automatic transmission models, the first change should be at 60,000 kilometers, followed by every 40,000 kilometers thereafter. The automatic transmission models of the CRV are equipped with a CVT transmission, which requires transmission fluid for cooling, so owners need to change the transmission fluid regularly. CVT transmissions are compact, lightweight, and have low manufacturing costs, and this type of transmission is commonly found in many Japanese cars. Most CVT transmissions come with a high-temperature protection system that automatically limits the vehicle's speed when the transmission temperature becomes too high.
