You can, but I've heard that it is best to get a new one. They are really cheap from the dealer. If you know the size, you can even just get it at Autozone, Napa, etc.

UPDATE: Changed fluid last night and with a warm transmission I removed the check bolt with the vehicle level, nothing came out the check hole. Pulled the drain and caught all of the fluid and it was exactly 4 quarts (1 gallon) in a lowes measured paint bucket which may not be 100% accurate. Poured in 4 quarts and went thru the gears for a couple of minutes and pulled the check plug and nothing. Reinstalled bolt loose, added 4 ounces, removed bolt and drained about 3 ounces out. This was a FWD 2022 CRV and had never had maintenance done on transmission with 40K. What I took from this experience is it was within an ounce when it left the factory and took 4 quarts to fill. Level was based on a bubble level on roof while sitting on all 4 tires and releveled after placing on jack stands. Total time about and hour and definitely will do again in another 40K as new fluid was golden and old fluid was dark and had slight smell. Thanks again for the info as without your video I probably would have paid a dealer as I definitely didn't want to screw it up. As others have stated, not much different in complexity than changing motor oil. Perhaps I didn't have it leveled correctly and drained an extra 1/10 of a quart as what others have said about 3.9 quarts didn't hold true but I did refill what I drained plus one ounce so I should be good.

The interval is based off of mileage. I think 40K is reasonable; I just go off of what is programmed in the car computer. Glad the video helped!

To be honest, I don't know. I did it this way because this is the way I've seen it done. My understanding is that the fill bolt is at the correct level for a cold fill because that makes it faster for the dealership when they service your vehicle. Let me know if you find information that indicates the last quart should be added only after warming up the transmission - it would be good to have clarification on that. I can say that the car has been running very well since I did the job, and I haven't had any lights come on indicating there is a problem.

I don’t know off the top of my head, but when you go to the dealer (or a place like Autozone) you can have them look up the correct part for you.

absolutely! As long as the vehicle is secure on the jackstands.

Yes, just make sure you have them secure (car level and the jacks squarely on the ground with no wobble).

A common issue with it. I believe Honda extended the warranty because of it on the engine and other components.

keep an eye on it. Also, most recommend changing oil sooner than suggested. Max 5k miles. Plus, should use a high quality full synthetic oil.

I agree - I always use a full synthetic oil for the oil changes. @@biz4twobiz463

I haven't noticed that.

@Iamthebestican Thanks I haven't either but I read about it. They say no problem if you keep up with oil changes.

Go for it-my niece bought a 2012 crv about 4yrs ago and I service it for her. I drain and refill the tranny fluid every 20-25 k and the diff around 30 k-when you do the diff make sure you can get the fill screw broke loose first before you drain it--Good Luck...

To be honest, I don't know the name of the gearbox. I just know it's the one that came with my 2017 Honda CRV.

No it’s a Honda designed CVT. HCF2 is cvt fluid

You could, but that would take a lot longer than just draining it from the drain bolt hole.

@Iamthebestican thanks I'm going to do it one way or another. My first fluid change was at a mechanic $$$.

Good - this is an easy job. Not worth paying for in my opinion. Plus, you’ll do a better job than the mechanic. Don’t forget to get a good crush washer.

Are you referring to the fill bolt? If so, I would say no, but it can't hurt. The one I replace is the drain bolt washer, just to make sure it doesn't leak. They cost less than a dollar, so I think it's worth it. Hope that helps!

I don’t change the filter every time. I change it every other time. It doesn’t get nearly as dirty because there is no air intake that mixes with the oil in the transmission like there is for oil in the engine. Since I have a magnet on my transmission oil pan, I don’t worry too much about changing the filter every time. What are your thoughts? Do you change it every time?

Thank you, can you also explain why the videos on show doing a drain. I am trying to understand why you would not do a flush or do a drain, and maybe go another 1-2 thousand miles and do another drain once or twice more to get more old oil out?@@Iamthebestican

Sorry man, I don't understand what you are asking.@@KrazyKajun602

@@KrazyKajun602 Flushing the CVT in the 2017 and up CRV is not needed or required since It does not hold on to most of the old fluid in the torque converter like a regular transmission when you pull the drain bolt All the fluid except maybe a vary small amount will be gone. If any shop recommends a flush they are just trying to scam you. And make sure you service it every 30000 miles if you want to get as much out of the CVT as you can.

When you first do a trans oil drain come back around 200 miles and do it again and 200 more miles one more time. This way is supposed to renew the oil to around 75-80%I have heard to never do a trans flush once you get 30k miles or more on it-all you will get is heartache....@@KrazyKajun602

It depends on the engine you have. Check your owners manual under the Specifications section. It will tell you. Mine is the 1.9L turbo, so it is less than the 2.4L engine.

All these tools? Do you mean a wrench? Also, I take my oil to Autozone or Napa and they recycle it. So for me, it is worth saving the money and in exchange, I put a wrench in a drawer. I use that same wrench on my truck. Also, I make sure the job is done correctly, with the best materials. I also become self-reliant, and these skills translate to other areas of running a household, which saves me more money and I make sure things are done correctly.

@@IamthebesticanExactly.
