2013 Honda CR-V Transmission Fluid and Filter Change 

I'm too old for taking out this filter!! Holy smokes that's hard to get to. Thanks for this video, it helped a lot!

Very informative video . The dealer charged about $170 to do this . Next time I can do it by myself which will save me big $$. Love your video

Hi Joe, Replaced transmission filter and did 2 drains and fills Honda DW-1 trans fluid yesterday. The trans shuddering at 20-30 mph had for years on 2012 CRV gone.

Excellent video. Very informative! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Great job. Cheers from Poland.

Благодарю! Хорошо показал и объяснил.

Great Video Joe, The CVT transmissions need to be serviced very well and this is part of the procedure. Of course, you know to never power flush transmissions. Great Job!

Hello Joe, today I have to do a service on the transmission of a 2013 CRV and your video has been of great help to me, thank you very much for making the job easier for me that I had never done before, greetings. I hope you understand well since I don't speak English and I did it with a translator.

Whoa... you already removed the cover for access to the drain plug... I needed that info. I've got mine jacked up and am very ready with everything needed but.... Because, my 2013 CR-V LX AWD with 5 speed transmission ... stiIl couldn't see the access panel... because it was in plain sight... because I was looking way too far back towards the center under the car. I saw the oil change access panel and took it off... I thought that must be it, guess what, no transmission plug there. For those of you who may need to know... this transmission plug access panel is directly in front of the car very front of the cowl. It's easily visible just by looking under the car, no need to crawl under it. Of course you need to get under there to loosen it and all that. It's way in the front part of the cowl. I've done one drain & fill the shaking is 85% better, still a bit at very slow acceleration at about 20 to 30 MPH. The thing was short one quart and it was an ugly brown color. I don't think the last owner ever changed this fluid or may even checked it, and they got their service done at a local Honda dealer too!

This video really helps me what part I need to buy~ Thanks.

Thank you so much for making this video. It made day super easy!!!!

Thanks for skill and knowledge.

Thank you. You are now my dad.

There's a better pair of clamp pliers that swivel Perfect for tight places. To do the best fluid change , you flush it with 10 liters That's the total trans capacity. You pop loose the high side line start the vehicle and run the high side line to drain in a bucket while at the same time constantly pour clean fluid in while its running That way you change the fluid 100%

Great video, very helpful! Do you only need to drain it once? I recall for my old Civic it was drain and fill 3x.

Why aren't vehicle manufacturers required to put an external filter directly on the transmission like engines along with a simple drain plug?

Thank you for creating the video! How many miles did you have on your CRV that you felt it was necessary to change the ATF filter? Kind Regards I had the front of my CRV jacked up and drained exactly 3 liters out. I'm wondering if that's why I drained out more ATF fluid than the 2.7 quarts specified in the owner's manuals. 2.7 quarts = 2555 ml. Thank you

How come my mechanic was telling me that my 2012 CRV has no Transmission Filter while the dealer is selling the filter for $50 ?

how to remove the air box ？ i really want to know , thanks.

Thanks for this. Can you do a fuel filter change video for this model?

great tutorial. Thank you.

Hey Paul Blart Mall Cop you could be his twin brother

Thank you so much!

great video man!

Hi Joe, Thank you for the video! where did you get the filter from/what is the part number. I tried to order it from NAPA and was given something different and told that it was the only number that they had that was listed for my 2012 CR-V.

When can you tell that the fluid needs replaced? My car is shuttering when it accelerates on the 2nd or 3rd gear. Does this sound like a symptom of transmission fluid needing replaced?

It will be helpful if you can show the past you take off the top parts as your video has skipped that part

I have the same car. I currently have about 107,000 miles on it and I don't think the transmission fluid has ever been changed. Checked the fluid and it's a brownish color with no burnt smell. Ive heard that changing the fluid after long intervals can cause problems. Do you think I should still change the fluid or should I just leave it at this point?

Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Replace the squeeze clamps with stainless steel hose clamps

what is the filter part number?

Looks like you're runing a big sound system. Any videos of it?

Do i always have to change the filter when changing the fluid?

So you’re telling me that after draining the pan, you’d refill it with 2.7 quarts?

Just looked at my sons Honda cr-v it was down 2 quarts and from the little dot that was left on dip stick it looked black, it was shifting very rough like I was driving over unpaved road, I filled it up and now running smoother, should I drain it out or did putting two quarts in like doing a change anyway??

What ATF did you use?

Question, was your vehicle level when you drained ? Seems like if you have the front up on ramps it will drain more than the 2.7. just curious. Also, do you know the torque spec for the drain plug? Thanks

Hey ! I have a question! We flushed the transmission fluid and cleaned it but now it messing with my gears. What are some issues that can occur after a flush ?

What's the torque spec for the transmission drain plug? I have 36' lbs written down. I have seen a lot of damage over the years by over and under torqueing fasteners and plugs

Friend how did you get them back two bolts off from the airbox I’ve tried every tool with every angle I can’t even get a tool on the bolt never mind getting it off

is it must to change the atf filter in order to flush !

Hello joe I have a 13 Honda CR-V 2wd ex-L I was told 2.3 qts for transmission fluid fill for mine is that about right?

How many quart did it take?

Whats the part number for the filter?

What the hek was wrong with the old washer on that bolt???

That wasn't transmission fluid that was mud !! Lol holy creepers

Is it absolutely necessary to change the trans filter on a Honda?

I thought 2013 Honda CR-V doesn’t have a filter

This guy is out of his mind. The filter is a cinch to get to from underneath, 20 min tops. Also never flush the transmission never and by putting in the 2.7 quarts he definitely overfilled it. Take this video down

Waste of time on player etc. Never shown what filter look like, too talkative...
