What transmission does the CRV have, and what oil does it use?
1 Answers
CVT transmission. It uses Honda's dedicated CVT transmission oil. It is recommended to use the original manufacturer's oil, as during an oil change, some oil cannot be completely drained and remains in the transmission. Mixing other brands of oil with the residual oil in the transmission may cause reactions, leading to transmission damage. Below is an introduction to manual transmission oil and automatic transmission oil: 1. Manual transmission oil: Commonly referred to as gear oil. It is an important lubricating oil primarily made from petroleum-based lubricating oil or synthetic lubricating oil, with the addition of extreme pressure anti-wear agents and oiliness agents. It is used in various gear transmission devices to prevent tooth surface wear, scratches, sintering, etc., extending their service life, improving power transmission efficiency, and reducing power loss. 2. Automatic transmission oil: Automatic transmission oil, abbreviated as ATF, refers to the oil specifically designed for automatic transmissions. The dedicated automatic transmission oil used serves as both the hydraulic transmission oil for the torque converter and the lubricating oil for the planetary gear structure, as well as the hydraulic oil for the shifting mechanism.
