This is my experience with changing the brake fluid on a 2016 CRV. This has never been done since it left the dealership in 2016. It definitely needed done and I will be completing this again in 2 years rather than 6. This job was very inexpensive and easy to complete. Hope this helps!
Be careful when using brake fluid as it can damage paint.
I recommend using new and unopened brake fluid each time you perform this maintenance.
Thanks for watching!

So here's what's confusing on this. We have the same, 2016 CRV AWD and I bought the Honda brake fluid so that I could do the change. We have a neighbor who is a mechanic. He's offered to do it for me for a really inexpensive price. He's a very good mechanic. He knows that I don't like getting under the vehicle anymore. But here's the confusing part. I mentioned that I was going to do this, the way this vid shows. But he said this is not "recommended" because the ABS pump has brake fluid in it and that needs to be changed as well. He mentioned "flush", using a machine. Has anyone else had the full system flushed, including the ABS pump?

Thanks for watching and commenting. I am looking forward to hearing what other CRV owner's have experienced.

I like your method where you don't have to jack up the car and remove the wheel.

Hi. so i noticed my brake pedal a bit stiff after i refilled my brake fluids but did not bleed the brakes. Would this be the main cause of a stiff brake pedal? the brake booster seems fine though. Thanks

Not a mechanic but here are a few things that came to mind. If you did not change your fluid but only topped it off, it may be time to refill with all new fluid. I would also check your brake booster and check for vacuum leaks in general. Lastly, is there a possibility that you put in too much fluid? Just a thought. Best of luck and if all else fails, find a trusted mechanic. I appreciate you watching and I wish I could be more help.
