Hi is 2023 6th crv hybrid gen has the same fill and drain place? Thank you beforehand to any of you who have experience and can answer

I do not know the answer to this off-hand. I believe the AWD system is different, but not sure how that affected the rear diff. I do know earlier gens had different setups and do not have the same procedure. But I haven't looked into the process on a 2023 and up 6th gen. I'll pin this comment and see if that helps get any eyes on it from anyone who may have an answer for you.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS loosen the fill plug FIRST! If you take out the DRAIN plug first, and for some reason you CAN'T loosen the FILL plug, you're screwed. You have NO fluid in the differential and no way to fill it. It will be an expensive toll to a dealer. I have changed my CRV's differential fluid several times over the years, so I believe this to be a cardinal rule. Enjoyed your video!

It would be a good idea to crack open the FILL plug FIRST just in case you can't open it (for what ever reason) and if you've opened the drain plug first you've just disabled your car until you can remove the fill plug (maybe have the car towed to dealer)

Like many said, always loosen the fill plug first. There is no really need to mesure the amount of oil because the hand pump you are using cannot transfer all the fluid in the bottle. Just pump oil until it start dripping from the fill plug hole.

Definitely agree! I know when I did this one, I took extra time to measure just to validate it would fill to bottom of fill plug - which indeed it does. So no need to do that. And do agree, one should get the fill plug open first. Espeically in rust belt, corrosion can make it harder especially with age. Best to find out you can't open it before you've drained the fluid - even if a very low probability, it's best practice for sure.

I do know there have been reports of leaking rear differentials on the 5th gen CRV that if driven low on fluid can cause the driveshaft to break and make a mess under the car. These rear diffs do not deal with a lot of torque, but still need fluid to function properly. If you own one ck periodically for leaks and keep them full. Hondas are among the most reliable vehicles you can get, but still require proper maintenance to last a long time.

Those bottle pumps are nice to have but I find it nice to have a container or empty fluid bottle to stick the tube in when I am done pumping. That is because the fluid is still in there and it will run out. Also any fluid inside the part in the bottle will not drain out unless you turn it upside down and let it run out the tube. I don't know if they are all the same quality but I bought mine from Harbor Freight. I never really buy any tools or drill bits or anything like that there. It is low quality junk! It seemed that I had to do a lot of pumping to get it started pumping for me. I also had to pump somewhat fast so I think the tolerances in the Harbor Freight one may be loose. Next time I will try one from another store and see if it is any better. Maybe mine was slow because of the gear oil which is notoriously harder to pump in some cases.

@@VortexGarage I backed my CRV up onto ramps. The old fluid drained out easy enough, but I couldn't get the 1.32 quarts of new fluid back into the differential before it started spilling out. When I started the car up, it was making a strange sound and it didn't want to go into gear... like the transmission wasn't working. My 2015 only has a little over 16K miles on it and the transmission and everything was working great until I drained the differential fluid out and tried to fill it back up. Tomorrow I'll try to crawl under the car now that it's more level and try to add more differential fluid, but I have a feeling that my car will have to be towed to the dealer to get fixed. :(

Hi . what will happened if you don't use a torque wrench to tighten ?
@VortexGarage
@VortexGarage 3 жыл бұрын
You run two risks: - Under-tightening, and it may leak due to lack of tightness, and not seating the crush gasket - Over-tightening, you could damage the threads, or even worse, crack the aluminum differential housing. Experienced mechanics may be able to get by as they have a learned "feel" for specific torque values through experience, and can also feel when the crush gasket seats. Others should rely on torque specs (35lb ft here) as a way to ensure proper tightening and remove guesswork. I believe we have linked to some inexpensive torque wrenches in the description. If you have a Harbor Freight nearby, their basic 3/8 torque wrench will do the job well and is sometimes on sale for only $10. It would suffice for this job in terms of it's accuracy and quality. Hope this helps!

I need your advice. I mistakenly put the wrong Honda transmission fluid (ATF-DW-1) in my 2015 CR-V which has a CVT. I realized the mistake BEFORE starting the vehicle. I then drained out that fluid, filled with the correct fluid (HCF-2). I let it sit a few minutes, did NOT start the car. Drained it again, then refilled with the correct fluid (HCF-2) again. Then started the vehicle. All this took place at 26,500 miles. Is there anything else you recommend I do? I am thinking of changing it again at 30,000 miles. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking time to read this.

Probably not a bad idea to consult a dealer service advisor for sure. But since you didn't start it and have drained it twice, I would think that is on the right track. Perhaps a full flush at a shop would be extra insurance. I don't know the transmissions super well so perhaps the local dealer could consult to confirm.

I tried using wheel ramps for the rear wheels, and fluid leaked out the fill hole as soon as I got the plug out. The differential would also not take the full 1.32 quarts. I think it has to be flat to fill with the correct amount. One way to do this and still have easier access to the fill plug would be to jack up the left rear, remove the left rear wheel, and then lower the jack so the vehicle is approximately level.

This vehicle uses a front wheel drive biased AWD setup. The front as a result has a different setup and most likely uses transmission fluid as a transaxle setup. A classic rear drive biased four wheel drive setup with a central transfer case will have both a front and rear differential and require fluid changes. On our channel as an example we did a Jeep Grand Cherokee fluid service in which the front and rear differentials were done, along with the central transfer case fluid.

If you can do it before, that's great, however if not I would not loose sleep over it. 6 hour drive so maybe 350 miles - even if round trip thats 750. Do it right after to be safe. On this one we did the fluid looked clean. It's more of a break-in fluid replacement. I personally don't think going a tiny bit over will cause major harm, but doing it soon as feasible is good practice. My guess is that Honda also knows most owners are the ones who aren't as keen to keep up with their cars will see the light and drive awhile before making time to visit their dealer for maintenance - and maybe they code that into the timing. Fortunately we are more vigilant. 👍👍

@Vortex Garage why would you have to change the rear differential after 15K miles? I feel it as very strange. I have a Honda CRV 2018 and I am getting this engine light (for rear differential) after 23K. My question remains the same - why so early?
@VortexGarage
@VortexGarage 3 жыл бұрын
The main reason is that it's part of gear break in. As the brand new gears and differential unit work, they build their initial mesh and this can result in small bits of materials in the oil. As a result Honda looks for an earlier oil change for the first one, depending on other factors the computer calculates, this can be anywhere from 15k to 25k miles. I believe after this the changes are recommended more at the 30,000 mile interval which is a good recommendation for fluid maintenance. Hope this helps!

​@@VortexGarage Thanks for your reply. It makes sense. My car gave the engine light for the rear differential service after 23K. However, one thing that I don't understand - Why would this be a CRV 2018 thing that it needs the rear differential service so early. Is it because of turbo engine?

the CVT has filter?
@VortexGarage
@VortexGarage Жыл бұрын
Yes I believe it does, however this video is for the rear differential. I do know that earlier CRVs I believe they shared fluid with the transmission. I've actually not yet done the CVT on this one as the current driver has kept mileage pretty low but it's going to need it soon. I have seen other videos on youtube showing the CVT process on this though.

I did it on mine right around 15k miles for the first time but I haven’t seen that code on the maintenance minder since then and I’m at 40k now. Do you know how often does it need to be done after initial change? Thanks

My guess is that it will revert to somewhere around a 30,000 mile interval after the initial change.

Were there a lot of shavings on the magnetic plug?
@VortexGarage
@VortexGarage 4 жыл бұрын
There is a small layer of fine material, but no large shavings and not a large amount. The material on the plug is normal as material from break in is deposit. You can see a bit in this video what ours looked like on removal A 1mm layer or so of fine stuff probably not an issue but if you have a large ball of silver material on the magnet that seems a bit coarse it may be concerning and be an item to consult your dealer for especially if under warranty.

How often should the differential fluid be changed? Every 30K miles like the CV transmission? 2015 CR-V AWD.
@VortexGarage
@VortexGarage 2 жыл бұрын
The maintenance minder usually notes when needed but 30k is about right. Note that a 2015 is different procedures - totally different AWD system so the steps here on this 2018 do not apply to your car. Be sure to follow specifics for your model year or it may not drive correct after service.

next time, camera man was doing it right. if you are trying to show something to people, first take a wide angle shot to show the vicinity of where things are located and then walk in (I have no idea why you thought it was a great idea to cut the part as the camera person was walking to point where the drain and fill plugs were). Person started walking and whoever thought it was a good idea to cut the part out (Yes I will figure it out so don't even)....what were you thinking?
