2023 Honda CR-V Differential Fluid

[@jacobwalsh9975]

If it helps anyone, part numbers for crush washers are the following: Drain plug, 18mm, 90472-px4-000 Fill plug, 20mm, 94109-20000

[@JoshMerkle]

After searching for about 10-20mins, this was the best video I could find on how to change the Rear Differential Fluid for a 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid. Nice job fella. You thoroughly explained how to do it, had nice camera work/angles, and you captured the entire process from Start to Finish. Was really impressed with your video, and can't wait to see what else you have for the 2023 Honda CR-V. Thanks a bunch!

[@RichardPalacios-w9f]

I suggest you first remove the fill plug before removing the drain plug. That way you assure you can put fluid in the car before draining it.

[@djm9583]

This. You're in for a bad day if you cant fill it back up.

[@IvanRossS]

@@djm9583 Relax guys... its a new car... not a Dodge Ram with 250,000 MI. Every bolt can be removed

[@IvanRossS]

@@RichardPalacios-w9f relax guys this is not a Dodge Ram with 250k miles..... its new car. And every bolt can be removed... what are you going to do? replace differential because you cannot remove a drain plug....

[@zeljkodjukic5889]

I think the new design of crv are beatiful and lots room inside

[@PrinceCarlosTV]

Thank you for the tutorial. Awesome video. Can you update the part number for the seals and oil? Also maybe a link to the tool on amazon. Thank you brother.

[@yurarezhevsky9823]

As always, detailed and clear! Thank you! No questions🙂

[@onobonono]

I actually needed this, thanks! The dealership recommended me to change the rear differential fluid at 10k miles, but it was too expensive so I turned them down.

[@IvanRossS]

At 10k wow... that's way to early

[@onobonono]

@@IvanRossS Yep... also this looks pretty easy, similar to oil change. I know the dealer charges per hour, but they wanted almost $200

[@IvanRossS]

@@onobonono damn. Here in Wilmington NC they wanted $120

[@camsaffari]

My 2023 CRV gave me the A16 code after about 8K miles in about a year after buying the car. Jiffy lube charged $149.99 to change the rear differential fluid! I wish I saw this video a couple of hours ago. 😅

[@irish316]

Actually Honda recommends that the first differential fluid change be done at that mileage. I'm guessing because it's a new car. After that, I believe it's every 30K miles.

[@Remaggib]

At 10,009 miles the maintenance minder just popped up with A16. First hybrid we have owned, so we were not expecting the diff fluid. My wife already had the engine oil, so maybe ill do the oil change then go get gaskets and fluid for the diff. Video is very helpful, thank you!

Thank's Ivan for another how to video for us hands on guys.

[@Danofcanada]

Thank you for the video. This was a similar maintenance on my previous HRV as well

[@aliyaqub4505]

You are correct, both the filler and drain plugs for the rear differential are 35 lb * ft

[@unikornkontroller]

So aren’t you supposed to fill the diff until the fluid runs from the drain plug? I know many brands under fill their diffs so replacing with the exact amount you drained isn’t always exact.

[@olehsem7136]

Привіт! Дякую за корисну інформацію, яка дає змогу зекономити трохи грошей 😊 Маю декілька питань: 1. Чи є у цій повнопривідній машині передній диференціал??? 2. Чи рекомендує хонда заміну масла в АКПп та через скільки? Чи плануєш знімати про це відео??? Дякую!

[@IvanRossS]

Деференцiала в передi нема. Вiдео про замiну АКП знiмати буду але дуже рано ще, 26 тисяч миль поки

Fantastic video!

[@Neekk_Oh]

so if I have a FWD CR-V Hybrid I dont need to do this because I dont have this, right?

[@IvanRossS]

@@Neekk_Oh yes lol !! You do not have a differential at all

[@Neekk_Oh]

@@IvanRossS I was trying to find information on if the CVT fluid needed to be changed at a certain point, but I can’t find anything on it. It is a 2024 hybrid.

[@IvanRossS]

@@Neekk_Oh I need to replace mine lol . Make a video

[@dehoff]

Great video! What about the transfer case and is there an air filter for the hybrid battery that needs to be replaced?

[@manpalbajwa4394]

Hi, where do you get your repair information from? I need to do a transmission service and “GT coolant service” on mine and I’m finding only information on 2022 and before CRV hybrids

[@zeljkodjukic5889]

What honda did put in hybrid 2.0 engine which is bulet proof quality excellent quality

[@nu3qamateurradio930]

Car should be level when jacked up for changing all your fluids.

[@IvanRossS]

It's not the required for little bitty differential... it's not so picky like transmission. Having 10 oz less or more will not hurt at all

[@aliyaqub4505]

@@IvanRossS As long as he put the correct amount of fluid back in which he did, which is 1.3 US QT or 1.2L as per Honda Specs. He torqued all of his bolts properly, new washers, clean job. Well done

[@chiahong4553]

hi, im interested to get this car as well, but wondering how much will be the cost in future to replace the inverter, the clutch or even the two motors if in any case they break down

[@IvanRossS]

Have no idea my friend :)

[@Teoheo1971]

Thank you your video 👍

[@MydailyNinja400]

Are you using 3/8 socket plug on both of them?

[@IvanRossS]

Sorry for late reply... didn't see message, but yes! it's just 3/8 adapter

[@juancarloscampossalgueiro7314]

Do you know how to perform the carbon buildup cleaning on this 2023 Honda crv hybrid.

[@IvanRossS]

I use Gumout. Just put it tank every 15k or so. I have not done it yet with my car, actually already at 20k. Just in 1 year

[@推翻中共-q8t]

Thank you This is very helpful to me.

[@joelfranco4757]

Does that model take transmission oil or is it completely electric?

[@ClydeKessinger]

Excellent video. !!!

[@vmmm3220]

could you please provide exact description of pump that will fit a bottleneck of the bottle?

[@IvanRossS]

LOL this is just a differential fluid pump you can find them everywhere... Advance Auto Parts AutoZone and even Harbor Freight Sale them

[@garrettc16]

Do you know if resetting the rear differential fluid in the infotainment screen also resets the engine oil life?

[@IvanRossS]

It will not

[@toadsage]

At 1:40, you were driving the car like you stole it 😂

[@jayo8484]

Man I wished you had the 23 accord hybrid so I can do mine from your videos lol

[@IvanRossS]

Lol. I'm sure it's very similar!!!

[@zeljkodjukic5889]

The only thing I don't about that e- cvt double clutch they told me there is no transmission on new honda crv hibryd..if you can explain me please thanks

[@IvanRossS]

Whoever told you is wrong they do have 3 Gear transmission. . It works differently than your standard CVT. Chinese market have their own CRV that resemble totally different transmission thrn in US. They have no gears at all and it's pretty much a gear box between electric and gas.

[@zeljkodjukic5889]

I was looking to buy new 24 honda crv I don't how reliable there are you can tell me plus ther have rear differential so you have to change oil which is 200 $

[@IvanRossS]

They're very reliable, rear differential only on a Hybrid models. And all-wheel drive models :) it's super simple to change differential oil, you can go to any shops. Just make sure they use OEM differential fluid. This job will not cost you $200

[@spaammiii5946]

Did you put all the liquid in both bottle in the differential ?

[@IvanRossS]

Lol yes. 1 whole bottle and second bottle just 3rd of it, to make 1.3 quarts 😂😂😂

[@shaharsigal6729]

It is always recommended to open the fill plug first, and then the drain plug. Imagine draining, and then realizing the fill plug is totally rusted, deformed, or messed up in some way. Obviously, you wouldn't be able to drive it to a near by shop!!!

[@jakescotto17]

Is the differential here similar to others in that you fill it up until it starts to pour out? Or is it a strict 1.31 quarts? My A16 is up at 9800 miles. Seems that the first diff fluid change is pretty early. Thanks so much for the video!

[@IvanRossS]

Not strict at all lol. Just full up untill it starts pouring out. Very easy. Just like on every differential. And yes it pretty early for a first change, i agree. But that's what Honda wants.

[@joekickass2819]

It comes up early because the MM is designed to get you to do the service at your next visit to the service center so you don’t miss it. If it triggered at 15k on the dot you prob won’t go in until your B1 service which will make it overdue

[@lennybme]

Any idea on how to change the HEVF Type 1.0 e-CVT Fluid

[@IvanRossS]

Drain and refill. Nothing hard. At what mileage your car

@@IvanRossS trying to figure out the fill /check plug location

[@hareepjoshi]

They want it replaced often enough early on, because they are still on the hook until warranty expires. After that, they could give a hoot.

[@IvanRossS]

Yes and no. This is very small differential it is very thin fluid and it works all the time because it's all-wheel drive

[@unsilentmajority1684]

Shouldn't the car be level when you're adding the fluid?

[@IvanRossS]

No. Not for differential fluid!!

[@unsilentmajority1684]

@@IvanRossS really? Why doesn't it matter?

[@buckeyeNmichigan]

The vehicle should be level and those are NOT just aluminum washers. They are crush washers design to deform when tightened to seal around the bolt. I know an aluminum or copper washer might seal around the bolt, but it will be much more prone to leaks, so just use an actual crush washer.

[@IvanRossS]

@@buckeyeNmichigan they are not Crush washers they're just regular aluminum washers they obviously going to crush a little because this is a soft aluminum... vehicle don't need to be level. This is not a transmission !!!!!!!!!!! This is a small differential. And just because it will have 0.2 Oz more and less, it not going to hurt it at all..... stop being couch expert

[@IvanRossS]

@@buckeyeNmichigan I bought OEM washers from the dealership !!! so I'm pretty sure they know a little bit better than you do brother

[@buckeyeNmichigan]

​@IvanRossS if you bought them from Honda, then they are crush washers.

[@buckeyeNmichigan]

​@IvanRossS I'm hardly a couch expert, but okay, keep over filling your fluids. I guess Honda should have just said 1.3 to 1.5 quarts, whatever you feel like.

[@garrettc16]

​@buckeyeNmichigan literally impossible to overfill this, it comes back out the fill hole when it's full.

[@liuqingdn]

To do it myself, the dealer charged me $180 for it, and at 11450, A16 told me to do a wheel alignment and brake fluid change. 😂😂

[@zeljkodjukic5889]

Plus the cvt transmission belt I dont know about that

[@IvanRossS]

You need to look into it deeply because hybrid models with all-wheel drive do not resemble same CVT transmission that you will find on 1.5 L engines. It's a 3-speed transmission totally different !!!

[@zeljkodjukic5889]

I'm not talking bad about honda I love honda crv specialy till 2017 the best 2.5 engines but I was told every 15 000 miles rear differential and 25 000 miles transmission that's a lot that 450 $ service that's a lot..

[@IvanRossS]

It's not every 15,000. It's only for the first time and then every 30,000. So your second change will be so the second change will be at 45k. Third will be at 75k. Not to bad at all.

[@zeljkodjukic5889]

That's very very very very stupid from unheard every 15000 miles or 30 000 miles that's why I just trade in honda

[@IvanRossS]

No... first time you replace at 15k then every 30k. Just Because you you have to replace differential fluid every 30000 you going to trash a whole car .???..... well non hybrid model will not have differential. Its not AWD

[@kenj.8897]

You are very very ignorant. All differentials should have a early change but nobody recommends it . They all have break in material that should get out.
