In order for the automatic transmission (automatic transmission) to Honda car CR-V worked more stable - it is necessary to carry out regular maintenance and periodically replace consumables, which include oil changes.
Changing the oil in an automatic transmission Honda CR-V allows you to:
- Increase the service life of the box - automatic
- Protect it from overheating
- Neutralize wear products that appear in the course of constantly rubbing against each other parts.
When should a full and partial oil change be carried out in an automatic gearbox? Honda CR – V
Partial oil changes in automatic transmissions are carried out during regular and periodic service inspections, as well as in case of poor gear shifting. It is done very simply, but more on that later.
- When buying a used car, when it is difficult to determine the quality of the liquid
- With a car mileage of more than 90 thousand kilometers
- When a constant overheating of the gearbox is detected
- Breakdowns and malfunctions that require a complete oil change
This manipulation requires special equipment in the form of a flushing unit, therefore, in most cases, work is carried out in service centers.

Necessary consumables and tools
To change the oil in a Honda CR-V automatic transmission, we need:
- Transmission oil ATF DW-1 Honda
- 4-sided wrench for unscrewing the drain plug by 10
- External filter his No. 25430-PLR-003
- Washer No. 90471-PX-000
- Funnel with a hose, in order to fill in new oil through the screw
Step-by-step instructions for changing the oil in an automatic transmission Honda CR – V
Well, let's get down to the very procedure for changing the oil and automatic transmission Honda CR-V:
- After you and I have turned off the engine, we take out the dipstick, clean it and measure the oil level in the interval of 60 - 90 seconds. The level must be in the range of marks
- Unscrew drain plug and drain the old oil.
- We are filming battery, air filter, and unscrew the external filter, in my case it is held on by clamps. We replace it with a new one.
- Pour new oil through the dipstick. By the way, do not forget to screw the drain bolt back.
- We do a run-in of the box within 10 km, in all gears.

Well, that's basically all, I think my manual on partial oil change and automatic transmission of a car. Honda CR-V will help you save more than one thousand rubles on maintenance your vehicle.
Many Russian motorists want their favorite car to have a comfortable modern interior, powerful engine, as well as with excellent suspension that can handle any off-road. These characteristics are consistent with the crossover, which was designed by engineers and designers. Japanese company Honda Motor Co., Ltd. The model is called CR-V III (third generation). The car was produced from 2007 to 2012, after which it was replaced new model 4th generation.
Transmission features
Honda SRV 3 is equipped with two types of gearboxes - manual transmission (manual 6-speed) and automatic transmission (automatic with 5 steps). The automatic box includes:
According to numerous reviews of car owners, the CR-V automatic does its job very well - it shifts gears very smoothly and gives minimal excessive fuel consumption. The torque converter operates in the range of motion from second to fifth gear. McPherson front suspension and multi-link rear suspension make it easy and comfortable to ride on any road. On the Internet, by advertising videos, you can appreciate the beauty and power of this car.
Grade Logic system as component Automatic transmission shifts gears not only depending on engine speed. The driving conditions are also analyzed - downhill, from the mountain, around the city, on rough roads, as well as the position throttle valve, brake pedal usage and other parameters. Depending on this, the regulator with a fuzzy algorithm selects the most suitable gear, moving the shift point in one direction or another.
Structurally, the automatic transmission, designed by Honda specialists, differs from similar units from other manufacturers. Other materials are used in the production of parts, the design can withstand more than high temperatures because it is able to work under heavy loads. Therefore, the deputy chief designer of Honda Motors, Masahira Ishikawa, claims that no other ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) can be poured into the automatic transmission, except for the one provided by the manufacturer. It used to be ATF Z1, today it is the original ATF DW1. Otherwise, the box will fail after 30-40 thousand km, since no other oil is able to withstand such a temperature regime - it will simply boil, with far-reaching consequences.
When and how to change the transmission fluid
CR-V owners should remember that in a Honda automatic transmission, the working fluid changes only by mileage. That is, it is useless to hope and wait until the oil darkens and sediment appears in it. Transmission fluid, as a rule, does not change color, consistency over time and remains the same transparent. Only its properties change, many of which are lost after a run of 30–40 thousand km. Therefore, it is highly recommended to replace the ATF after every 30,000 miles. If you have additional questions on this topic, look at the video footage, there are a lot of them on the Internet.
If the operating conditions are difficult, only partial replacement, then it is advisable to change it more often, after 15–20 thousand km. You will not keep the schedule - over time, expensive repairs may be needed. If the vehicle is purchased for secondary market, then an oil change is immediately required, no matter what the previous owner of the car says. According to Masahira Ishikawa, the oil change method used in automatic transmissions from other manufacturers is not suitable for CR-V machines.
That is, pumping oil under pressure and using a large amount of new fluid at the same time can only do harm. After all, the design of the gearbox at Honda is unique. There are at least two reasons why you should not flush the box:
- The Honda machine does not have a removable pan, so it cannot be physically removed and cleaned of deposits. During flushing, this turbidity will rise from the pan and settle on the filter, clogging it.
- The filter is not removable and not reusable. To get to it, you will need to completely disassemble the gearbox, it is unlikely that the service station will agree to this, and the cost of such work is very high.
Thus, the failure of the filter will sooner or later lead to the breakdown of the entire automatic transmission. A clogged filter causes an increase in the pressure of the working fluid at the inlet of the system and its absence at the outlet. As a result - the inability to move off or the start of movement when high revs engine. This means that the automatic transmission in the CR-V has failed and will require a very expensive repair.
Optimal and correct for the 3rd generation CR-V will be a partial replacement, in which the automatic transmission will require about 4 liters ATF oils DW1 - strange as it may seem at first glance. This transmission fluid has replaced ATF Z1 and is fully compatible with it. That is, it is possible to partially replace the ATF DW1 instead of the previously filled ATF Z1.
The procedure for partial replacement of the lubricant
Changing the oil in a 3rd generation Honda SRV car is shown on the video - many videos on this topic can be found on the Internet. Partial replacement of the lubricating fluid can be done independently, only for this you need to place the car on a flyover or above an inspection hole. In addition, you need to purchase 4 liters of original transmission fluid ATF DW1 (preferably with a small margin), and also have rubber gloves, work clothes, a set of tools and a container into which the old liquid will be drained.
- The engine and transmission warm up, the Honda CR-V is placed on a flyover or above a viewing hole. The hood opens, and after 5 minutes after the engine is turned off, the oil level in the automatic transmission is measured. If it is lower than required, a new one is added to the filler hole (where the dipstick was) to the required level (just below the top mark of the dipstick). After this procedure, the probe is not installed back.
- After another 5-10 minutes, you can drain the old transmission fluid. The time delay is done so that the oil cools down a little and does not cause burns. Then you need to find a drain hole. The machine should be located to the right of the engine belt. In order to get to the drain plug, you will have to remove the protection (if installed) and clean the drain plug with a metal brush from dirt. It should be near the right front wheel Honda SRV.
- A container with a volume of at least 4 liters is substituted under the cork, and the cork is carefully unscrewed with a 3/8 tetrahedron. You need to twist it with your fingers, after putting on gloves so that it does not fall into the container. Oil will begin to flow out of the automatic transmission case.
- After a while, it will completely stop flowing. The container should contain about 3–3.5 liters of waste fluid. After that, the magnetic end of the drain plug must be cleaned of metal chips and dirt, for this you can use WD-40. Be sure to replace the old aluminum washer in the cork with a new one after cleaning.
- The volume of the leaked liquid is measured, this can be done using plastic bottles with a volume of 1 liter, pouring mining into it. After that, it will be known more precisely how much old grease has leaked out.
- The cork is installed in its place. The stage of filling a new lubricant begins. For this purpose, you can use a funnel with a hose or a large syringe (not medical), to which you also need to connect the hose. The hose is inserted into the filler hole (where the dipstick is located). The replacement of a new transmission fluid in the automatic transmission is carried out in the same volume as it leaked out.
- During the filling process, you need to be careful not to pour ATF, it is better to add a little later. Otherwise, you will have to climb under the hood again, remove the dipstick and suck the excess fluid back with a syringe.
- The engine starts and warms up, and with it the automatic transmission. After warming up, the motor turns off and a temporary pause is taken from 3 to 5 minutes. Only after that, the level of the working fluid is measured with a dipstick. This sequence is mandatory for the Honda CR-V.
According to the oil level in the Honda CR-V automatic transmission: some craftsmen advise that it be on the top bar of the dipstick. Others believe that the level should be located in the middle, between the minimum and maximum. In any case, the car will drive normally, the main thing is that the level is not higher than the maximum. Otherwise, the gearbox will have problems over time.
And one more tip: do not fill in transmission fluid from other manufacturers - only from Honda. Only in this case, the CR-V transmission will delight you with trouble-free confident operation.
There are also supporters of a complete oil change, but this may require 10-12 liters of ATF. Replacement is made in 2-3 doses, between them you need to drive a car for a week.
Now let's talk about replacement honda automatic transmission oils. The most important question is when should you change the oil?
If everything is more or less clear with the engine - the replacement time can be judged either by the mileage or the color of the oil, then in the Honda automatic transmission the oil changes only by mileage. Often, having stopped at a service station with a request to change the oil, a person hears from a pseudo-master, “why do you need to change it, it’s clean and doesn’t smell” ?! Remember: ATF Z1, judging by a drop of oil on the dipstick, does not change color, smell, and consistency until irreversible automatic transmission destruction processes begin.
Drain the cleanest (according to the dipstick), oil, and you will see that in fact it is not so transparent. Special fluid for automatic transmission does not contain special detergent additives, so if the assembly has not begun to wear heavily, it will not blacken much. Slight darkening is acceptable, but black fluid on the dipstick usually indicates that the automatic transmission is asking for a replacement.
That is why two rules should be observed - first, if the car was constantly serviced by a good master, then the special fluid is replaced every 30,000 - 35,000 km. In the conditions of the northern regions, it makes sense to reduce the interval to 25,000 - 30,000 km. And the second rule - if you bought a car and don't know when the automatic transmission oil was changed - don't save money and change it right away.
In Russia, there is a terrible tale about the complexity and high cost of changing the fluid in a Honda automatic transmission. At many service stations, huge amounts of liquid (up to 16 liters!), As well as expensive installations for pumping oil under pressure, are prescribed for this harmless process. Paradoxically, but it is this approach that destroys the automatic transmission. The fact is that many craftsmen approach the issue of changing the oil in a Honda automatic transmission from the position of changing the oil in automatic transmissions of other cars, and we already know that these boxes are structurally different.
We will try to describe the process of changing the oil in a Toyota automatic transmission so that it is clear what the mistake of many masters is when approaching Honda. When changing fluid in a Toyota automatic transmission, a special flushing fluid is used, which is certainly useful for automatic transmissions of this brand. Further, in the process of changing the oil, the automatic transmission filter is removed, which can be disposable (it changes) or stationary (reusable, it is cleaned either mechanically or by flushing fluid). The pallet is removed, deposits are washed out, which inevitably settle on the bottom of the pallet, the pallet is put on a new gasket in place. It would seem that everything is simple and clear. But, approaching Honda with the same order of things, we find the following - the box does not have a removable pallet! As a result, it will no longer be possible to clean the pallet from deposits. Then, it turns out that the turbidity raised by the flushing liquid should settle in the filter, which definitely needs to be replaced. And here lies the trick number two - the filter is in the middle of the box, between the two halves of its body, and you can change it only by removing and disassembling the box. Not a single service station in the world will offer you in a sober mind to do this incredibly time-consuming and expensive operation when changing the oil in an automatic transmission.
What is fraught with such an incorrect replacement procedure as a replacement "on the device"? Firstly, the failure of the automatic transmission filter. A filter clogged with deposits simply does not allow liquid to pass through itself, creating enormous oil pressure at the inlet, while there is simply no pressure at the outlet. Of course, being in such a position, hydraulic system boxes simply can not withstand the loads, and fails. The most common symptom of a breakdown in this case is the inability to move the car from a place when the selector lever is D4. As a rule, the car roars like a wounded animal, but cannot move. Sometimes, it happens, it starts moving, but at 3000 rpm. In fact, this means the death of the automatic transmission, in which case a very expensive and lengthy repair is required, which is sometimes equal to half the cost of the car. How to avoid it? It is necessary to change the oil in the automatic transmission correctly, and we will describe below how to do it correctly.
Automatic transmission is one of the most technically complex components of any car. An automatic gearbox always requires increased attention and proper maintenance, and if the box filter is also changed within the time limits set by the automatic transmission manufacturer, the box will last the entire period of operation without requiring overhaul. Changing the oil in an automatic transmission in a Honda SRV 3 can be done independently.
Features of automatic transmission Honda CRV 3-1
third generation CR-V crossovers equipped with two gearbox options:
- mechanical 6-speed;
- 5-speed automatic box.
The automatic transmission, controlled by the original Grade Logic control unit, ensures smooth transmission gear changes and low fuel consumption, in comparison with the "mechanics". The box ECU shifts gears based on the readings of numerous sensors:
- speed;
- engine speed;
- slope;
- pedal positions, etc.
All this allows you to change gears in an optimal way.
The automatic transmission was designed by Honda engineers. It uses special materials designed for high temperatures and "hard" operating conditions. But to ensure the smooth operation of the box, it needs regular replacement. transmission oil. The following symptoms indicate the need for an immediate oil change:
- “Kicks” of the box when depressing the accelerator pedal;
- peregazovki, frequent slippage;
- felt while driving;
- and other behavioral anomalies.
But this happens already with worn out oil, which has not changed for a long time. If the replacement is carried out on time, the box continues to work without interruptions and problems. The official recommendation is every 30-35 thousand km. In Russian realities, this period can be halved, since cars with automatic transmission are sometimes operated in rather harsh conditions. It is advisable to do the prevention of the box with an oil change in the Honda SRV automatic transmission and when buying a used car.
Important: the degree of oil wear in an automatic transmission Honda SRV is determined by the actual mileage. The popular method of visually checking transmission oil for color and sediment does not work because CRV transmission fluid is not prone to change in consistency and light. Only its cooling and lubricating properties deteriorate, which are lost after about 40 thousand km.
What kind of oil and how much
There is an opinion among car owners that any oil can be poured into an automatic transmission, as long as it fits the tolerances. This is categorically wrong: Honda experts strongly recommend using only original oil, otherwise, rapid wear of the box is likely.
Until 2011, Honda-Z1 grease was used in the boxes, which was filled, among other things, in the first generation Honda SRV RD 1 automatic transmission:
In car models manufactured after 2011, the new ATF DW-1 fluid is used.
Interesting: Honda SRV DW-1 and Z1 automatic transmission oil are compatible, and partial replacement of the old box oil with a new fluid is allowed, without removing the old one.
To change the oil in an automatic transmission Honda SRV 3, you will need about 10 liters of liquid in full, and about 4 for a partial one.
Transmission oil change procedure
In the Honda CR-V 3 and generation 1 crossovers, the fluid can be changed in two ways:
- complete;
- partial.
Complete replacement
It is better to carry it out in a car service, for this you need about 10 liters. oils. Usually, with a complete replacement, it is customary to change the filter, but the feature of the Honda SRV 3 automatic transmission is that the filter is non-removable, located in the middle of the box, so even in a car service they offer to carry out the procedure without changing the filter element of the box. If you still change it, the box will first have to be dismantled and disassembled, which significantly increases the cost of the procedure.
In addition to the internal one, the Honda SRV 3 box also has an external filter that you can change yourself. Its scheduled replacement period is every 90 thousand km. Spare part code - 25430-PLR-003 (oil filter):
The reason for this: in the "machine" from Honda there is no removable pallet. This means that it is physically and technically impossible to remove the pan and clean it of accumulated deposits. And if you wash the box with oil under strong pressure, the suspension from the non-removable pan will rise and contaminate oil filter Automatic transmission Honda SRV 3, which, in turn, will lead to its laborious replacement and significant expenses.
Partial oil change
As mentioned above, about 4 liters of new ATF will be required (it is recommended to take a little more, with a margin). In addition to oil, you will need:
- set of tools;
- metal brush;
- rags for wiping;
- gloves;
- container for draining "working out" from the gearbox.
Oil change automatic box carried out in several stages:
- If there is, it must first be removed.
- Substitute the previously prepared container under the hole, and unscrew the plug:
- The old fluid starts to flow out:
- Next, the plug is screwed back. Before that, you can put a new washer on it:
- After that, new oil is poured through the dipstick hole, the standard replacement volume is 3.5 liters. After that, you should check the level with a dipstick and top up the missing / drain the excess, if necessary.
For filling, you can use special device e.g. syringe:
The car starts, a test drive is made, a control measurement is made and a drain / top up, if necessary.
Interestingly, in this way it is possible to carry out and complete replacement, repeating the procedure two or three times, at intervals of a week.
Good day to all! From this article you will learn how a partial oil change is performed in an automatic transmission Honda SRV. First, as usual, a little theory.
automatic transmission is one of the most demanding parts modern cars. At the same time, automatic transmission is one of the most expensive car components. Therefore, in order to avoid costly repair or replacement of the machine, it is required to operate and maintain it correctly. The most significant procedure is the ATF replacement. We'll talk about this today.
When is an oil change required in a Honda SRV automatic transmission?
An oil change in a Honda SRV machine is required after 30,000 km of run. However, if you use the car in difficult conditions, then it is best to shorten this period. Severe operating conditions in this case mean frequent towing of trailers, other cars or driving at high speeds, frequent wheel slips, etc. If you purchased a used car and doubt when the fluid in the box was last changed, then it is also better not to delay the replacement. Also, if you notice jerks or delays when shifting gears, then the first step is to change the ATF.
What oil is required to replace a Honda SRV automatic transmission?
For automatic transmissions HONDA CR-V requires oil standard or. The last liquid is over modern version. However, both liquids are compatible and mix perfectly with each other without any consequences. For a partial replacement, about 4 liters of ATF will be required.
What tools or fixtures will be required?
To change the oil in an automatic transmission Honda SRV, we need a standard set of tools, namely:
1. 10" square wrench.
2. Funnel with extension hose.
3. Clean cloth, napkin or rag.
4. Capacity for mining, preferably with a measuring scale to measure the volume of drained oil.
5. The easiest carb cleaner.
6. Sealing washer for drain plug.
The progress of work on changing the oil in the automatic transmission Honda SRV
1. The first step is to measure the oil level in the box. This is done in the following way. The engine warms up to operating temperature, after which the car is placed on a flat surface. We turn off the engine and wait 1-2 minutes. Then we pull out the probe (it is located between the battery and the case air filter) and look at the current level. It should be at the point farthest from the end of the probe. If the level is lower, then note for yourself that you will need to fill in a little more oil than was drained.
2. After that, we remove the probe to the side and unscrew the drain plug with a tetrahedron. First, simply tear off the cork, remove the key to the side and unscrew the cork by hand to the end. Keep a container for testing on hand right away. It is important not to drop the cork into the container for the old ATP, and also not to burn your hands with oil, as it will be hot.
3. When the mining has stopped flowing, we measure the volume of the drained oil. Should be about 3-3.5 liters.
4. We process the drain plug with a carburetor cleaner. The point is that on this car a special magnet is built into the drain plug, which collects fine dust and chips that form during the operation of the box.
5. We take a new sealing ring and wrap the drain plug in place. Do not overdo it so as not to strip the thread.
6. Insert the hose into the dipstick hole and pour exactly the same amount of oil into the automatic transmission through the funnel as was drained. Have you measured the right amount? If not, then don't forget to do so.
7. Insert the probe into place and start the engine. We are waiting for it to warm up to operating temperature. We sit in the passenger compartment and with the brake pedal pressed, turn on all the positions of the automatic transmission one by one. We do everything with a slight delay of 3-5 seconds in each position. Then turn off the engine and check the oil level in the box. It should be at the top of the dipstick. If the oil level is low, add the correct amount.
Important! Do not pour oil into the box! If you accidentally filled in more than required, then pump out the excess amount with a conventional medical dipstick.
8. After a few kilometers, check the level again. He must not change.
All! This completes the oil change procedure in the Honda SRV automatic transmission. In time, the whole work takes about 30-40 minutes. By completing this procedure yourself, you can save on work in the service. The cost of everything will be equivalent to the cost of consumables, namely transmission fluid.
We also suggest that you watch a video of changing the Honda SRV 3 oil in an automatic transmission, in which everything is described and shown in detail.
