Where is the transmission oil filler port for the Honda XR-V?
2 Answers
The transmission oil filler port for the Honda XR-V is located below the area between the engine and the battery, where a protruding component can be found. Below is some related information: 1. Types of transmissions used by Honda: The Honda XR-V is equipped with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission, both of which are proprietary to Honda. 2. Information about transmission oil replacement: The Honda XR-V requires approximately 12 liters of transmission oil for a replacement. For CVT transmissions, Honda recommends using Honda-HCF-2 transmission fluid. Using transmission fluids other than Honda-HCF-2 may affect the vehicle's transmission performance and durability, and could potentially damage the transmission.
I once changed the transmission fluid for my Honda XRV myself, and that filler port was really hard to find! It's located on the left side of the transmission housing in the engine bay, completely blocked by the air filter box. You have to remove the entire air filter box first to see the filler hole marked with a screw symbol. Remember to use a 24mm socket wrench to open it, then slowly pour the fluid in with a long funnel. It took me two hours to figure out the location, and I still feel sore just thinking about it. The vehicle needs to be running when adding the fluid to raise the transmission temperature to around 50°C for accurate fluid level measurement. It's best to prepare a measuring cup and add according to the manual—overfilling can cause spills everywhere.
