That is actually a great price. Anywhere in NY that’s a $400+ dealership job.

I found the CVT plug out AGAIN, then a clogged CVT vent. I went to youtube and found your video. And then, I found the fill bolt was missing! Thank you for the camera work and explanation!

Great video. Thank you. Just did the first drain and fill on my daughter’s 2020 cr-v. Plan on changing both the filters next time around, and I know where I can find a great video for that also! You are very thorough. I really appreciate torque specs. To me that’s the sign of a good quality video! In the past, I always bought the factory service manual for all my cars, but it seems like nowadays that is impossible. It is people like you on KZread that give us the knowledge to continue to work on our vehicles and avoid costly dealer fees. Keep up the good work! Just curious, where did you learn the procedure?

Thanks for posting this! Great attention to pointing out all the details and very helpful!

I will be doing this soon as I am nearing 40K on my 2019 CRV EX. Thanks for the video! 😎

Thank you so much I have 2021. Cr- v. 25000 miles I will replace. Your video very clear. Very. Good.

Great video, but just a note. At 7:47 you state to pull the fill plug before removing the drain plug. That's great, but be aware that instead of glugging out, the fluid will come out like Niagara Falls so move your drain pan way over accordingly. Trust me on this.

What a great video, thank you! The "large multi use funnel" from Walmart is what I purchased and it seemed to match what you had. Perfect fit. I had to use around 4.8 qt of hcf-2 in my AWD before my check opening began to overflow. I read elsewhere that can happen.

Thank you for this tutorial. You may want to update this to reflect that this is only applicable to 1.5L engines, not the 2.4L LX models. On those, the plug and fill port are directly under the water outlet that goes to the lower radiator hose.

If this is your first time changing, I would measure the fluid that came out to double check to see if it's close to the recommended 3.9q fill capacity. Personally, I wouldn't bother with the check plug since you will need to check it at a certain transmission temperature because of thermo-expansion of the fluid unless you know what your doing with the diagnostic tool.

I have one question about the smell that you mentioned at 5:21. I had the fluid changed at the dealership at 30K miles and I did it myself at 63K miles this time yesterday following your direction, and I noticed the strong smell too. It was like smell from burning rubber. Do you know if that kind of smell is normal for CVT fluid that was changed after 33K miles or gentle to normal driving (no hills, no heavy loads, and no excessive speeding)? I searched for "CVT fluid smell" and it appears that the "burnt smell" of a transmission is usually associated with fluid break-down due to overheating, which worries me. Thank you.

It's normal for CVTs, because they're belt driven and they get hot. Even the best-built CVTs are unreliable and can be finicky at best, meaning you should definitely keep that fluid changed probably even sooner than Honda recommends. 20k wouldn't hurt, and never past 30k.
