In this video, we’re doing an automatic transmission oil change.
The vehicle is a 2000 Honda CR-V (1st Generation) AWD (4 gear auto).
We simply need:
a funnel + method of delivery (long transmission funnel or hose/tube)
3/8-in ratchet (torque preferred)
breaker bar (optional)
oil catch pan
Honda DW-1 Transmission Oil (2.9 lts.) * (2 or 3)
Honda Transmission crush washer
Step-by-step:
Loosen transmission drain bolt
Drain oil into pan
Measure drained oil, observe colour, note quantity
Fasten drain bolt, 26-lbs (3/8-in torque wrench)
Pour through dipstick new oil – 2.9lts.
Check transmission level (dipstick), if okay, proceed, if not, fill or drain.
Turn on engine, warm up, and cycle gears.
Check drain-bolt and dipstick.
Go for a drive, after 2km, check drain bolt for leak and dipstick level. Tighten (1/4 turn) and/or fill is necessary.
Running smooth? Go for a nice drive; through all gears, high speed, and incline/decline.
Return to base
Parked, cycle gears: note transmission oil level (now hot) and check drain bolt for leaks.
Repeat transmission oil change as necessary; recommended three drains.
Note:
Always change, drain, fill, check dipstick level on flat/level surface
If hesitant, do more research, ask more questions, talk to qualified/experienced people, do more research, do more research, do more research
Only use Honda DW-1 oil, buy it from the dealer, but shop around, not every dealer prices the same – don’t forget the crush washer!
2WD and 4WD (AWD) have different engine oil requirements; AWD transmission oil is shared by the front differential
Read your owners manual and a shop/service manual if you can for procedure, oil quantity, type, and recommendations; do a search.
If no torque wrench, turn till lightly tight, check for leaks, if leak, ¼ tight turn
This is my first experience (ever) doing a transmission oil change. By no means am I mechanically inclined or a mechanic. I was very hesitant at first, even afraid, and with a lot of naysayers along the way, it didn’t make it easier. My advice? Don’t be afraid, it’s called preventative maintenance. The black colour in my transmission oil is bad, something’s wrong inside; hope yours is not like that. There are a lot of videos on the net describing this same process, people talking about transmission oil colours, and a wide variety of transmission talk. Do your research!
This video is not a DIY answer to how to change the automatic transmission oil on a 2000 Honda CR-V (1st generation) AWD vehicle. The video is simply my experience of doing said procedure from learning everything I could on the net. I say this because I have no idea if what I did is the right thing, whether it will help or hurt the car. I know the transmission oil shouldn’t be black, but I’ll always rather clean oil rather than dirty.
Let me know in the comments below what you think about this whole process. At the very least, I hope it helps you become self sustainably reliant.
Peace!
