2002 - 2006 Honda CRV Transmission Fluid Drain and Fill Service How To

[@rickmarcotte2386]

I’ve put 355,000 miles on my 98 4 cylinder 2.3 liter Honda Odyssey van. I change fluid (single drain and refill) every 15k miles. It’s still my daily driver!

[@BenjaminHansen]

Actually refill 4 times to flush. I don't know where the 3 times came from but it's incorrectly stated all over the internet. The 05 CR-V owners manual actuals says for automatic transmissions "To thoroughly flush the transmission, the technician should drain and refill it with Honda ATF-Z1 (now using the upgraded Honda ATF-DW1), then drive the vehicle for a short distance. Do this three times. Then drain and refill the transmission a final time." Thanks for making this video, people truly appreciate it even though they don't all give you credit.

[@leosainz6764]

So wait, after changing it for 1st time, you have to drain it again for 3 times and then fill it again? What you do with those 12 quarts you threw away? Can you recycle?

[@littlered6780]

Great vid! If I may add one thing..if your engine bay is dirty, sandy, etc. (which many are) you may want to clean up/off the general area as well as the black wire loom above the dip stick before removing the dip stick. See 43 second mark.. This will keep any debris from falling into the trans. as you maneuver your hand, dip stick, and the funnel into place.. Again, good job explaining!

[@Godsxeed]

what do you use to clean it

[@meowzer3]

thank you so so much for showing that the level can be checked!!! i was always told it was a sealed system and couldnt be checked and they (oil change people) would just have to do a fluid exchange for $$$. im so happy i can check (and now change!!!) it myself now!! thank you!!!

Great clip. They did a good job trying to hide it, but at least there is a dipstick to be had with this ehm... "SEALED" transmission. Whenever I look for a car now, I'm always looking for those dipsticks. I don't want to be anywhere within 10 light years of any without them.

[@Andr1019_]

Hello everyone, I’ve hit my first delima! My daughter has a 2005 Honda CRV EX AWD that I am trying to complete a drain and fill on her transmission, and did a drain and almost exactly 3.3 quarts came out (I did measure so confident on amount). Dumped in exactly 3.3 quarts of DW1 back into the transmission. These numbers seem to be what I should have expected from my research on the make/model/year. started car and ran the trans thru all the gears to distribute fluid and let it warm to operating temperature. turned the car OFF and pulled the dipstick, wiped and checked the level…the fluid is not even touching the bottom of the dipstick :(. I will add that this car has zero leaks of any kind….it’s been a great car and has no shifting issues at this time. Here’s the funny thing….I can go out after it sits all night and check it cold and it is exactly even with the top of the XXXX marks on the dipstick. So everybody I talk to is saying car must be at operating temperature then shut car off and check level on level ground within 60 seconds and no more than 90 seconds, and when I do this the dipstick is completely dry but shows perfect after sitting all night and cold. Sooooo, do I need to add until full when it’s warm (which would be putting in much more than the recommended 3.3 quarts) or are late models different and need to be checked cold? It seems if I add more fluid when warm, that the level would be way over max when cold. I know Hondas are picky on fluid levels and don’t want to hurt her car. Thanks in advance for any help you can give to explain what I’m doing wrong!

[@ToFightTheGoodFight]

I know it's a while now. I'm like you. Doing exactly what you did. Like anything else. If it was driving well before the change? What ever you collected from the drain? If the new clean oil capacity goes in? It should be right ( maybe 50ml extra would not hurt) I had to learn to stop second guessing myself. .. enough of ocd🤣🤣

[@BenjaminHansen]

I'm late to the game here but... You should drive it around making sure it shifts through all the gears, even reverse, until the car is up to operating temp. Driving ensures the temp gets up there. Then shut it off and check w/in 60 seconds. Add 1/8 to 1/4 qt at a time and repeat process until full. If you added too much, you could pull some out the dipstick hole using a vacuum pump if you did not want to open the drain plug. Also, I like to check 3 dipstick readings, even looking at the backside to ensure the level is read correctly.

[@cubukluugur6777]

Hallo. Fahre ein CR- V RE6 2013 Diesel. Im Handbuch steht bei mir 2.6 Liter Wechsel. Habe 3 Liter Öl gekauft und etwas ist noch in den Schläuchen und im Einfüllpumpe noch Rest verblieben. Habe Trotzdem nach Handbuch mit 60 Sekunden warten nach Warmen Motor wo auch der Lüfter gelaufen war. Irgendwie etwas wenig Öl im Getriebe. Es ist nicht im HOT Bereich. Es ist am unteren Loch. Weiß auch nicht was ich machen soll!

[@kirilchuk]

Nice video ,what I also found out is that you can get much more oil out if you take one of the transmission cooler line that run to the radiator and pull one out or both and I used some compressor air and in one of the lines and the air pushed out lots and lots of transmission oil out like 3+qrt.and you can also blow out the cooler lines also in the radiator just be gentle on the air don't just blast... slow with a little pressure ...

[@Andrealas]

Honda in owners manual does not recommend pressure fluid change because it could damage transmission. Do the drain and fill operation 3-4 times in a week or two with some driving if your transmission oil was not changed over 100k miles or so. After 3 times you should get around 90% new fluid in transmission.

[@one7decimal2eight]

No one do this. Ever. The trans is like 7 quarts. A drain and fill is 3.25. You remove over 40% doing it how Honda recommends. Drain and fill. Drive it for a few hundred miles and do it again if it is nasty. If not, just do at the suggested intervals.

[@angelisone]

In case many don't read my comments. ATG & I recommend to replace transmission filter after 2 drains.

[@tlak]

You might look behind that flap you pulled down toward the radiator and see if there's a transmission filter hidden in there. Looks like a little inline bulb gas filter.

[@vxnova1]

So 3.25 quarts is just less than. Half the oil, if you change it one it’s roughly 50/50. Old to new oil. If you change it again it would be 25 to 75 old to new. And again would leave it 12 to 88 old to new oil, I think that’s why they recommend replacing it 3 times

[@irmageller]

Thank you for sharing; but for HOW LONG I SHOULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE to DO THE NEXT CHANGE ? WHAT IS “ a little bit”?

[@mgbretro]

I changed my oil but when I check the dipstick the marking Is barely touched. from my understanding when you shit down the car (after it's warm) you have 30-60 seconds to check the correct level. I added 3.30 qts aprox.

[@JT_Dudeman4250]

Well i just ordered the fluid and in line filter but my trans started making a whining sound on cold start and started slipping then not engaging at all after driving it for a while, I think the filter leading to the transmission cooler is clogged(never been changed), causing it to overheat. It's got just over 160k, is an AWD CRV so I guess has more strain on the transmission. I bought it used so there is no telling what the service records are. Hopefully changing the fluid and inline filter leading to the trans cooler will fix the problem. But it could also be a faulty solenoid🤷‍♂️. I just hope it's not a complete failure and don't have to rebuild my transmission but that's being almost overly optimistic even though the fluid was just barely getting old (brownish red/time to change).

I would agree with the gravity statement but it shot out 18” to the front passenger tire with pressure. I’m not a rookie at twisting wrenches but this is the first Honda tranny fluid change.

Check the ChrisFix video on transmission fluids, and if you should change it or not. It depends on the color of your fluid right now, if it is an ok color or if it is already cooked. He goes over the colors on the video, and talks about changing it or not (short answer if is too cooked, change the whole transmission as it is already bad) Otherwhise, I agree with this channel's owner, change it ASAP as Hondas are working horses, but very sensitive on their fluids, their only downside.
