Gen4 (2012 2013 2014) Honda CR-V ATF and Differential fluid change

As of 1/24/22: 1394 likes, 93 dislikes

This video shows the procedure for changing the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and the differential fluid on a 4th generation Honda CR-V. Shown in the video is a 2013 CR-V AWD, but the procedure will be the same for all 2012-14 models. Only the AWD version will need the differential fluid. I believe the 2015+ uses a CVT so the procedure is different.

I bought pretty much everything online because I'm lazy, I'm sure you can probably buy most of this at your local Honda dealership for around the same price.

Materials needed:
1) 4 qts Honda ATF DW-1 (~$11/qt on Amazon)
2) 2x Honda 18mm drain plug washers ($6 for a pack of 5 on Amazon). Honda P/N 90471-PX4-000.
3) 1x Honda 20mm differential fill plug washer ($11 for a pack of 10 on Amazon). Honda P/N 94109-20000.
4) 2 qts Honda Dual Pump Fluid II ($12/qt on Amazon)

Tools needed:
1) Safety glasses and gloves
2) Jack and jack stands (always use stands when working under vehicle)
3) #2 Philips screwdriver
4) 3/8" drive breaker bar or ratchet
5) Oil drain pan
6) 3/8" drive torque wrench
7) Funnel (+optional spout extender)
8) Small transfer pump (I recommend the type that screws onto a quart bottle rather than the type I used in the video), only ~$7 on Amazon

The procedure shown is pretty much the same for any Honda, but I didn't see any comprehensive videos for this generation CRV yet. Hopefully some of you find this helpful!
