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!
I had my fluids changed on 2015 CR-V recently. Had I known it was this easy to do the tranny, I would have done mine. Next time! Glad you have a 2015 like mine and, I look forward to your other videos.
Valvoline CVT fluid is great stuff. I've actually noticed better response with Valvoline. I've done several drain and fills to get all the hcf-2 out, and the CVT responds very well to Valvoline. Highly recommend.
Beautiful Detailed presentation & Illustration. Thank you 🙏. You are the only one ☝️ I’ve watched that shows the overfill drain plug. Perfect 👌. Crucial information ℹ️ most are missing
I actually did a change of all my filters as well, the one behind the transmission fluid cooler and the one in the sump. So if you do this, tranny's going to take a lot more than 4.5 quarts. It actually took me around 5.75 quarts to fill it back up to where the fluid was consistently running out of the fluid level check plug.
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
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.
@Adam Holbrook gotcha, my prices were from Southern California and now here in Oregon the Honda dealer is more than an hour drive..so the non OEM is still cheaper for me
How is your honda running with the valvoline fluid? I have the same car with 83k on it and I'm just finding out that this has to be done at 30k to 40k so I'm desperately trying to get my fluid ready and all I can find is the valvoline so this is why I'm asking you how yours is doing with the valvoline. Thank you for your video buddy. 👍
Sorry for the late response it runs fine with it. The Acura brand is more available in my area than the honda, and it's the same stuff part number ends in an A instead of an H
A little bit flows I to the passage way when filling so when you pull the plug you get a little out. What your looking for is it to flow out of the drain plug not a trickle
I don’t have a jack but only ramp that is used to do an oil change. You think that should be fine to get the vehicle up for the transmission fluid change as well? My concern is - should the vehicle be level on the ground while draining? If not I drain and fill 4.5 quarts while it’s up, start/shift gears and then get the vehicle off of the ramp. Come off the ramp and now whilst on the floor level, I somehow need to squeeze myself in and remove the level nut to drain out that little fluid like you did. Thoughts?
That should work, I can get under it when it's not jacked up at all. I also removed all of the vanity plastic under the front so I can actually work on it and check for leaks. The reason for the vehicle being level is just to fill it to the proper level.
Yes there is, but I believe you only change that if you take the cooler off and I'm not sure what the service interval would be on that or if its only when there are issues. If you know feel free to share. For just the standard 30k-ish mile fluid change you do not change it. As per the honda manual.

Ei man thanks for the video. Iam thinking doing and i found your video and its gonna be helpful. I just want to ask, your crv wasnt park on a level ground. Will that matter checking the fluid on the check bolt? Thank you and new subscriber here!
No problem, it being off level a bit won't be that big of an issue. If it is severe it could throw the level off. I would shoot for as level as you can get it.
@@jjsdiygarage1267 you’re right. And you have peace of mind that your doing the right way on your cars. Iam a DIY rookie mechanic too and willing to learn from experts. I tried to take videos alao on my DIY’s and upload it on YT. “Sharing is Caring”
Follow up question. So I replaced mine about a month or so ago. And it works great, but how come everytime I go for a drive and park, I smell a little bit of the valvoline tranny fluid? Is that something to worry about? The car seems to shift great and I don’t see any leaks. And pretty sure filled it up with the right amount
@@jjsdiygarage1267 it wasnt the drain plug.. i saw it. idk why it gotten loose, but its the upper "sensor" not sure which sensor that was for, but when i checked it, it was leaking from that sensor. do you happen to know which sensor that one is? theres 2 of em near the tranny, one lower and one upper with 27mm which i tighten and seem to stop the leak when i turn the vehicle on. when i turned it on earlier the leak was clear it was coming from that sensor, weird that it gotten loose though.
This is for the transmission oil change. I made a video for the engine oil chang as well. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z9oGPxJQPzo.html
@@jjsdiygarage1267 In their manuals, it also states you MUST use Honda Oil and brake fluids too. We all know that’s BS. But talking to mechanics, Honda coolants and transmission fluids work a little better. They told me you could use non-OEMs but it’s not optimal.
@jjsdiygarage1267 please there is no noise in gears and other gears too do the same. When shift to drive, it's takes about 10 to 15 minutes before moving slowly. So, I checked the transmission oil and changed it ,but the same thing happened
Actually, there Is a filter on the side that is hard to get to, if you google "transmission filter 2015 crv" you will see the filter available. Should be changed every other trans fluid change ,, why put new fluid with an old dirty filter !! Most mechanics dont even know about the filter
I know about that filter, but I have never seen a service interval on it. It's behind the fluid cooler. I may change mine next time I do a coolant and cvt oil change.
That transmission doesn't take 4.5 quarts it take 3.9 look at your owners manual u shouldn't be using that fluid either the honda hcf2 is only used for that pacific honda cvt transmission
Mine says 4.5 and the honda manual says 4.5 maybe we have different transmissions. Also, honda does say to only use the honda HCF2 only but I explain in the video, that other manufacturers make equivalent fluids that I have never had an issue with. 120k+ miles. And I used probably 4 quarts in the trans and 5 quarts in the floor in the video
I read it's still very similar.. so help I just got my crv and I got an oil change before i went to the beach like a week later my car stops and will push to start but WILL NOT Go into gear.. like I hadn't sent it to the shop yet cause I'm hoping it's something I could fix.. 🙃 could my engine be blocked .. would it even crank I also never got a notification 🤔 or car alert that there was anything wrong with it..
