What is the method for changing transmission oil in a 2017 Honda CR-V?
1 Answers
Honda CR-V transmission oil replacement methods: 1. Gravity Drain: The process is similar to changing engine oil. Loosen the drain bolt at the bottom of the oil pan and allow the transmission fluid to flow out under gravity. This is the most common and easiest method, but it cannot completely drain all the transmission fluid. Residual fluid tends to remain in uneven or hard-to-reach areas. 2. Machine Flush: New transmission fluid is added to a flushing machine, which connects to the transmission's fluid lines. The machine functions by pushing new fluid in to displace the old fluid, achieving a complete replacement. This method provides a more thorough cleaning of the fluid passages. 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 one hour. 3. Oil Pan Removal Method: This approach involves removing the oil pan for a thorough cleaning and replacement, and also allows for cleaning or replacing the dirty transmission filter.
