Honda says no... but you can buy the parts to do the service, so 🤷. I made a video on how to do it, and the comments on it clear up the part numbers for you. So it's your choice. I will say that the filter didn't look bad when I did mine at 130k.
@jjsdiygarage1267 yep thinking about doing the same but it 50/50 lol it look like a pain to change it. Mine 15 crv at 120k miles now. Thank you for making this video.
Nope, they are iridium tip, which you do not gap or check because you risk breaking it. They come pre gapped to spec, just make sure you get the correct ones and you are good to go
I love working on the cars i got cheated at the shops many times is why i do my own maintenance my sister has a Cvt engine and i thought it was different its just like my cars so i will possibly do her maintenance on her car i did all my cars its been 5 yrs since one of my cars been to the shop the guy was not really changing the oil and i had to get a new overhead gasket when kept telling him that was quick i started paying attention and i didn't go sit down in a room they didn't change the filter either i went home opened the filter cap still had the original filter on it looked like a according that guy no longer has a business someone else got his azz anyways thanks for the detailed easy video helps the girls get out there and take better care of there cars🖐️👍👍👍👍
Bought a 2015 Honda CRV from a friend of mine. He changed the CVT fluid and rear differential around 25k intervals. I'll be changing it the fluid and filters when it reaches 95k miles I have all Honda parts and fluids. But gave the service manager the evil eye when he said filters never needed changing. Wasn't buying off on that. Friend I bought it from never changed the filters. I convinced him after I bought it that needs to be done. He also has a 2017 Civic with a CVT transmission. Bought all parts and fluids online.
Thank you 😂this worked too well I’d been struggling to get the pan past the bell housing on the trans and then I turned the wheel and jacked up the car and the pan was lower than ever
Did my engine oil, tranny oil, and refreshed my cabin/engine filter (K&N) yesterday in about 2 hours. Nothing more satisfying than knowing the job got done right! Thanks for these tutorials!
1. Measure take out 4 put in 4 2. Run CRV CVT for 1 day 3. Engine cold CVT cold add 1/2 qt 4 Remove over fill bolt let excess drip out. (cold CRV CVT) If no drips Install bolt and repeat steps 3-4
Hi JJ, Just wanted to thank you for posting this tutorial. It saved my a ton of money since my previous mechanic priced this job out way too high! He actually lost my business entirely because he gouged me and lied to me too many times. I paid $67 for the part at Honda. Installed it in just 5 minutes! Almost as easy as changing the engine air filter! I didn't bother taking off the valve cover, didnt need to. Thanks again!
This is my process and opinion, there are plenty of other opinions though. So it has the flat tapet cam, so you have to fire it up and immediately take it up to around 2k rpm for 20 to 30 minutes. This ensures it doesn't eat itself with no oil. Have a friend look for leaks or other issues while you maintain rpm and oil psi. After that I do an oil change looking for any big chunks, cut the filter open and look in there too. Then fill it up with more break in oil, drive it around for 500 miles at moderate engine load, then another 500 at higher engine loads. Then regular oil at 1000 miles.
@@jjsdiygarage1267 super vague instructions tbh it’s said 1500 for 15 min I’ve never broken in an engine before so I’d thought I’d ask someone who’s done it lol
Just want to say that your videos are awesome! Gave me the confidence to change the spark plugs and the serpentine belt myself (having no prior experience). Thank you so much!
It's a lot easier to cut metal than it is to put it back, so I wanted to take my time and cut nice even cutouts. If you can do it faster with the same results 👏
Question, is there any difference in the regular 4.0 and the high out put one? Mines a high out put and same year as yours and getting ready to do the rear main but I wanna make sure if anything’s different
Very detailed, but I'm going to use Honda fluids and parts I can by cheaper online. As far as the magnetic plug goes I'll soak it in solvent use clear tape and remove what was on the plug. Put it on a sheet of white paper so I can have a good look at it. Did the same on the magnetic plugs of turbine engines.
Look up the chemical tests on other (full synthetic) HCF-2 compatible CVT transmission fluids and guess what.. they are all higher quality than the Honda (non synthetic) official stuff.
Thank you, JJ, for such an informative video. I just completed my first ever DIY and Honda CRV 2015 spark plugs replacement job. It went all in accordance to the plan after watching this video. Next one now is to replace my front brake pads.
