I'll show you the correct way to do a drain and fill transmission service on your CVT equipped 2015-up Honda CR-V. This applies to both the late 4th gen and 5th gen CRV's. If you have an AWD model you will need 4.5 qts of HCF-2 fluid. If you have a 2wd CRV you will need about 3.9qts.

This is the ONLY video I have found that explains that fluid being added will run directly out the overflow plug hole. I learned this the hard way and finally realized why. It's such a key thing to understand. Thank you!

This is one of the best videos I have come across for a Honda CVT fluid change. Thank you!

@MaximumDIYGarage Год назад

Great job as always! Good idea to keep that CVT fluid refreshed every 30k miles! Much cheaper preventative maintenance than buying a new transmission!

Just did my wifes CRV a few days ago. Used a couple 2x6 boards to level car. Pulled the check bolt and a a little dribbled out so good to know it was full then pulled drain plug. After that i cleaned the plug nothing abnormal installed new crush washer and torqued it. I put the check plug in. I then poured what i drained out into my 6 quart oil container that is marked. Got it at walmart cause i get the 12 quart mobil 1 box. And it was exactly 4.5 quarts. Dumped in 4.5 plus a splash then pulled check bolt and let it dribble. Reinstalled bolt tighten then cycled through gears few seconds each gear a couple times. Then took it for a hot lap. Drives better than it did. Use genuine Honda fluids. CVTs are a different animal and very picky. My wifes car is a 2015 with just under 55k. And the light just came on a month ago. Next one ill do is at 80 k regardless of mauntence minder

My wife’s 2015 has 165,000+. I’ve done 5 or maybe six CVT drain and fills, but the last one I pulled the pan, cleaned the magnets, changed the Filter/screen. It was a relatively easy and painless job. I installed a Honda pan gasket and filter. I’ve used several synthetic brands over the years. None were Honda, but all had the appropriate rating. Now using Eneos and changing it every 15-20K miles. It takes exactly one gallon. Runs like it did when we bought it at 1.5 years old and had 21,000 miles. About to install new ignition coils, just due to age and miles. Every belt, hose, fluid gets changed before it needs it. Even did a valve lash adjustment at 160,000! Never seen a dealership or oil change stealership since we bought it. No oil burning between changes, but I usually change it before it hits 5K miles. Longest interval was 6K and 30% showing on the maintenance minder. I use SuperTech full synthetic mostly, and I mix 0w20 & 5w30 50/50 ratio except in winter. PureOne filters air and oil. Denso TT iridium plugs. Autozone lifetime brakes!😊

i also change both filters, one in the engine bay (oil wamer i think) and one in the oil pan with o rings and gasket, highly recommended changing the filters, it required more oil

Hi please can you tell, I changed using check bolt method on cold engine. Will there be any damage? I didn't run the engine to make the transmission and engine hot temperature then drain and fill the oil, should I do it again?

@dirtyadventure8481 5 месяцев назад

Very helpful. Thanks.

@rainbowColor-yp6ie 5 месяцев назад

Do you have to make the car engine hot(operating temperature) before refilling the last quart of oil? Or transmission can be cold and no need to run the engine for 20 mins and make everything hot and then put last quart of oil and check the oil coming out of check bolt? I did it with transmission cold., Shall I now warm the engine, and open check bolt and put moree?

Should be drained cold and new fluid level checked again after running the transmission through each gear.

@garypritchard9787 Год назад

Great job! Amsoil makes a great CVT fluid that surpasses Oem.

@andreyua8989 9 месяцев назад

Did you drain and fill or complete flush with amsoil?

@upinarms79 7 месяцев назад

I don't know that I'd want to mix fluids because CVTs are pretty persnickety and you should avoid flushing them for any reason unless you absolutely have to. I like Amsoil products too, but CVTs will pretty much self-destruct if you aren't very careful with them.

If you are talking about the automatic transmission, you need DW1. HCF2 is for CVT only.

@vincentlanza5155 11 месяцев назад

But , you didn't mention or change the old trans fluid filter. They are available online and should change the filter when the fluid is changed ,otherwise, whats the point of changing the fluid ?

@JackofAllMasterofNone 11 месяцев назад

The filter does not need to be changed according to Honda, unless there is some sort of failure or severe contamination.

@yashshah6328 8 месяцев назад

That only applies to engine oil. Trans filters don't need to be replaced during a routine trans fluid drain and fill. You only need to replace filters if fluid is contaminated or clogged

@tracy2762 Год назад

have you cleaned your throttle body? i have a 2016 crv and was thinking i could do this but want to not screw up. some have you take it off and some clean it from its position. do you think they get dirtier because of gdi ?

@JackofAllMasterofNone Год назад

I have not cleaned it. They do not get dirtier with GDI. Some throttle bodies aren't supposed to be cleaned because they have a special coating on them so research it first before you do it. Also, being an electronic throttle body will make it hard since you can't open the throttle blade.

I've heard the opposite -- CRV owners changing it, saying all good then a few months later reporting that their CVT slipped and that they drained and changed back to Honda fluid. Basically I've never seen a thread about Honda CVT fluid where the following was NOT said: "No matter what, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use Honda fluid ONLY. No exceptions. Period"

Does the CRV have a trans filter?

@JackofAllMasterofNone Год назад

It has an inline filter that is not a normal service item unless the transmission is being replaced or is in extremely poor condition.

@atx-cvpi_99 Год назад

@@JackofAllMasterofNone If the transmission is in poor condition, it should be replaced anyway.

@geraldevans2535 Год назад

Easy access to change it Cartridge type filter under battery. There is also a filter in the pan. I’m not sure the in line filters are still around. My 2005 Accord had in inline filter on top on the transmission but I think that’s long gone. Suggest you see if you can purchase one from Honda for your year CRV

@wmoy8507 3 месяца назад

Should use a torque wrench and not guess on proper torque. Those aluminum pan thread strips easily. I did that on my oil pan and had a loose bolt than would not seal. I had to rush to a mechanic to replace my oil pan before I lose too much oil. After that, always use a torque wrench.

@JackofAllMasterofNone 3 месяца назад

Some of us have done this a long time and have a "built in" torque wrench. It's just like any other learned, repetitive skill. But nonetheless good advice for most amateur DIY folks.
