How to change the rear differential fluid in a 2007-2011 Honda CR-V. Blog: www.MechanicalMalarkey.com Facebook: / mechanicalmalarkey Twitter: / mech_malarkey Instagram: / mechanicalmalarkey
Great video. Some details that I would suggest adding to the text description. Refill capacity is 1.3 L not 1.5L. The 1.5L is a dry first time fill. People may be worried they can't fit 1.5L with a drain and fill. Both fill and drain plugs use a 20mm crush washer and torque spec is 35 Ft-Lbs
Hi Dan good tutorial might have a go on my 2008 Honda CRV Exec , Not done this before but my local Garage wants £ 150.00 UK Pounds to do this which I think is a bit Steep .Thanks Pal
I see two different fluids on Amazon one being the two pump fluid in your video and another being vtm 4 differential fluid. Is there a difference? As the other is 1 gallon
Thank you for your reply. I have recently changed myself the engine oil on my Honda CRV 2007, and I have a few spare washers. Thank for telling me that it is not fitting to the differential. I will order new washers for the differential.
@@encoreone...Thanks, I've seen a few videos of this procedure and how difficult it is (most of the time) to loosen those bolts, either the dealership or owners must be over tightening...if they rust in place maybe a good coating of heavy grease after fluid change would help? I've seen more than one video where they have to use an extension to get enough leverage. And anyone reading this... ALWAYS loosen the top (fill bolt) FIRST!
I have a 2007 honda crv ex awd Ive been hearing some clunking noise when i turn and reverse turn . I changed all the mounts including the rear differential mount stiil having the issue i changed the differential fluid still hearing the issue . I see that alot of people are having the same problems and they go to the honda dealer and just replace the fluid again and still doing the noise . Anyone knows what can i be the problem?
For FWD (not 4WD or AWD) 2011 CRV, do I still need to change the rear differential fluid? Also when you need to change the rear differential fluid, if you put the car in Reverse gear and driving the CRV backward, would it make a hissing sound? Thanks!
Easy Peasy👍 Just like My ol 80 Gmc 4x4! Do you just torque both plugs (Drain and Fill) as i Do My ol Truck? I’m yet to find a torque spec for the Differential 🤷♂️ And the Book Says: Take To The Dealer For Service😳😜 Seriously🙄🤷♂️ Someone is Hungry💰😂 Thanks for The Video!!! I’m just going to torque by “Feel” 🤷♂️👍
