You’ll need two quarts for a complete fill, stop when it starts to drain back out of the fill hole. I think a quart is just a bit more than a liter so you’ll need two liters.
What's weird is the owner's manual and the official service manual call for CVT fluid in the rear diff for the first gen CR-Vs. The dealership says dual pump fluid. I went with dual pump fluid.
Thanks! It seems like it came with some gear oil I bought some time ago. I hoard stuff like that and don’t recall exactly where it came from unfortunately.
Im sure its okay but since this is only a once every 50K mile job, I would not skimp to save a few dollars. Especially with a 2019 that's still under warranty. You risk voiding it.
Question how often do you need to change the diff fluid? I have a 2007 awd, runs grwat has 260k tho ive owned it since 175k and never have changed it lol oops on my part but it runs great and just haven't never really worried with it but after seeing this video I'm wondering about it
Hi, We had our propeller shaft removed a long time ago but left the rest of the rear differential parts intact. For maintenance purposes, is it still necessary to replace differential oil?
There are still bearings in there that require lubrication. If this is not a “forever” vehicle for you I’d skip it. If you plan on reinstalling the driveshaft and using the 4wd, I would change it.
Crush washers are cheap and really a one time use. If I have to re-use one, I’ll flip it and put the side with the flat surface away from the plug head.
If i only jack up the back of my crv to give myself room. Will that not cause the differential to be uneven so that when i go to fill it with new fluid it wont fill to the proper level due to it be un level.
Hi I have a 2019 crv awd. I was a little late with differential fluid change and did it at 19k miles. The fluid came out very very dark almost looked like motor oil. Is this normal ?
Hey I just changed mine yesterday 1st time on a 2019 crv. We are the original owners and the fluid came out very dark is that normal for 1st change. Thanks
It came with some gear oil I purchased a while back. It does not come with the Honda fluid but you may be able to find something similar at your local auto parts store.
Almost seems impossible since this system is based on front wheel slippage. Get into some gravel or mud and let it rip to see what the rear wheels do and have a friend watch or set up a camera. If it really doesn't work, you may have some internal problems in the rear differential.
I have a 1998 Honda CRV. I'm starting to hear some "creaking" from the back of the car when I first start the car up and start moving. Just for the first 20 ft or so and then I don't hear it. I wonder if it's the rear differential fluid. I called a standard oil change place to ask if they would drain and fill it for me if I got the rear diff oil and they said they charge $150 for changing it. Really? After watching the video, seemed like the easiest thing in the world to do.
If it happens when turning, the fluid most likely needs changed. If you don’t know the service history, it needs to be done anyway. This is an easy service if you have access to tools or someone that can lend a hand.
La notice honda indique de faire une double vidange. On remplit une premiere fois, on fait tourner les roues a vide sur le pont en avant et arriere et on vidange à nouveau .
Because I’m not concerned with it. You can look them up if they are important to you. Been doing this stuff all my life and while torque specs are important, they are irrelevant in some situations when you are experienced.
My 06 has a charcoal canister in the way...I have watched a few video's & they didnt show whats in my way. Looks tough to even get a socket in there to remove the plugs...UGH Anyone else have this? I might have to replace/remove it to get space?
Thanks so much for teaching me such important procedures that keep our cars running longer 👍
Thanks for watching!
Gread video, going to be changing mime pretty soon.
Thanks for sharing this. I will probably be doing this today.
Thanks for watching!
Hey Kauffman thank you so much for thats video. I have question, Is adding 1 liter enough? How many liters did you add to your car in total?
You’ll need two quarts for a complete fill, stop when it starts to drain back out of the fill hole. I think a quart is just a bit more than a liter so you’ll need two liters.
Great video. What ramps are you using? Looks a lot easier than having to jack it up and using jack stands
I just use the black plastic ones for simple stuff like this. Rhino Ramps I believe is one brand.
Thanks for your informative stream. If I may ask, do you have a link for the nipple attachment for the fluid bottle? Thanks again.
It was something I had leftover from previous oil purchases and these are usually included with 1 quart gear oil bottles.
That a great video, question please sir. The car was not level would that make a difference to amount of oil left in?
Yes it will
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks.. great skills!
Thanks for watching!
Great job.
Thanks for the visit!
What is the washer's size? Thanks! Great video!!! (Does the fill plug have a washer?)
Try this but verify fitment first. a.co/d/dvBdoXZ
Great job

Think I would've gone with the manuals...
I like the cap adapter you used on the oil bottle. Where did you bought it? Thanks! Good video!
Thanks! It seems like it came with some gear oil I bought some time ago. I hoard stuff like that and don’t recall exactly where it came from unfortunately.
Here is an option WirthCo 32157 Funnel King Flexible Spout Funnel with Cap, colors may vary a.co/d/eQ18qDS
I think you can just take a big syringe for that.
@@makzzz1986 I ended up using a long plastic tubing (maybe 3/8 ID) extended to the rear passenger side door, added oil from there.
How often you should change crv rear diff fluid?
Good job.
Thanks!
I just changed mine, 2019 Ridgeline. NAPA Auto has a less expensive, dual pump fluid, made for Honda's.
Im sure its okay but since this is only a once every 50K mile job, I would not skimp to save a few dollars. Especially with a 2019 that's still under warranty. You risk voiding it.
@@nickv4073agreed, why skimp over a few bucks for OEM Honda

Consult your owners manual, but I would change every 30k miles if it were me.
Thanks for the video.🍻
You bet!
Cool video… Thank you…
Thanks for watching!
A fluid pump is a good thing to have for this service.
It is, but not totally necessary for this one.
Do all 4 wheels need to off the ground or can i just use back ramps ? Im getting things together for my 2019 crv awd.
Just needs to be level however you can do it. I used 4 jackstands.
So there's a large side cover seal on the passenger side. Trying to replace it. How do I remove the old seal and install the new one?

@@kauffmansgarage thanks mate
Is there someplace I can find that white tip you've attached to the fluid bottle? Thanks.
Try one of these, could even shorten it if required. FloTool 10106B/6 Spill Saver Trans Fluid and Gear Oil On-Off Filler Refill a.co/d/8SGYnLH
Here is another WirthCo 32157 Funnel King Flexible Spout Funnel with Cap, colors may vary a.co/d/eQ18qDS
Should we use new washers for both fill and drain plugs every time we change the rear differential fluid?
Crush washers are cheap and really a one time use. If I have to re-use one, I’ll flip it and put the side with the flat surface away from the plug head.
@@kauffmansgarage what is the size of the washer for the differential ? same as motor oil ?
If i only jack up the back of my crv to give myself room. Will that not cause the differential to be uneven so that when i go to fill it with new fluid it wont fill to the proper level due to it be un level.
Yes, it will
I like that ratchet, what brand is it?
It’s a polymer ratchet from Harbor Freight. Pittsburg brand I think and I have them in 1/4 and 3/8 as well. Use them frequently!
Hi I have a 2019 crv awd. I was a little late with differential fluid change and did it at 19k miles. The fluid came out very very dark almost looked like motor oil. Is this normal ?
Should be pretty clean looking if it only had 19k miles.
I didn't find a type of Honda oil in my country. Would you recommend me another type?
I do not have an alternative to recommend, do you have a Honda dealer in your area to consult?
Hey I just changed mine yesterday 1st time on a 2019 crv. We are the original owners and the fluid came out very dark is that normal for 1st change. Thanks
Yep, normal for it to darken as it breaks down.
does the white cap funnel comes with the oil when you purchased it?
It came with some gear oil I purchased a while back. It does not come with the Honda fluid but you may be able to find something similar at your local auto parts store.

Good morning my 2020 crv displays "AWD verifier 4RM" on the dashboard, do you have an idea? THANKS
I do not, sorry I can’t help.
Ruby!
Ruby tha dawg 😁
Amigo me puedes decir como o en que momento funciona el 4wD ??
When the front wheels lose traction.
Would one quart be sufficient?
You’ll need two quarts for a complete fill. Fill until it starts running back out of the fill hole.
thanks
Thanks for watching!
What gen of crv is this big boi? I got me 1st gen, 2001.
Same, this was a 2000.
What year CRV was this? Good video!
Thanks! This was a 2000 SE
What year was your CRV? Mine is a 1998 Honda CRV LX 4 WD & I appreciate your video. Ty🌻
A las cuántas millas se cambian ése aceite??
I would do every 30,000 miles.
Thanks for posting. Please use a new crush washer always. Also, use a torque wrench.
Great point!
My 4wd don't work in my honda crv 2008 what might be the problem? Note that it makes no noise
Almost seems impossible since this system is based on front wheel slippage. Get into some gravel or mud and let it rip to see what the rear wheels do and have a friend watch or set up a camera. If it really doesn't work, you may have some internal problems in the rear differential.
What what year is this?
Can u do it on my 2003 crv
This was a 2000 model and 2003 would be same process.
What oil do you use?
Honda Dual Pump fluid only. Pick up at any Honda dealer.
What year is your CRV?
2000 SE model

I have a honda crv 2010 4wd . What other diferencial fluid can I used besides the honda brand ?
I have play in mine so I have to replace entire box
👋👍👍👍👍👍
La notice honda indique de faire une double vidange. On remplit une premiere fois, on fait tourner les roues a vide sur le pont en avant et arriere et on vidange à nouveau .
A simple drain and fill as shown here is fully adequate. Don’t waste your money.
Only thing you left out is that the car should be level before starting.
Correct! And it was…
What year CRV?
2000 SE model.
Cool, thanks
One full quart would have filled the rear end. Now you have another quart for the next 50,000 mile change.
Thanks for watching!
My local Honda Stealer wants $115 to do that.
For those that don’t have the tools or ability, that’s not bad.
My honda wants 179 plus tax. I just bought the fluid and 2 crush washers for 27 bucks.
If you don't know what the torque specs are then why are you filming it?
Because I’m not concerned with it. You can look them up if they are important to you. Been doing this stuff all my life and while torque specs are important, they are irrelevant in some situations when you are experienced.
@@kauffmansgarage It's 32
Excuse you lol
😂
Ideally, needs to be drained and flushed, then refilled
Thanks for watching!
What do you recommend to flush with ?
@@luk3149 If you buy two quarts, you can use the 0.9 quarts you'll otherwise have left over.
double check the manual i had someone wanting to flush my transmission when it says to not flush
😂 it was very dirty
It sure was!
Terrible way to re fill dude..
Lol, it worked just fine for me.
It worked and he lost maybe an ounce of oil…looked good to me.
My 06 has a charcoal canister in the way...I have watched a few video's & they didnt show whats in my way. Looks tough to even get a socket in there to remove the plugs...UGH Anyone else have this? I might have to replace/remove it to get space?
I have an ‘06 and apart from the bolts that are a 3/8 drive this looks identical so what charcoal canister?
It wasnt the same as others I have seen ether? I sold it, but it was a 06 EX AWD.@@hemtet5500
