The rear axle of these vehicles has a built-in limited-slip differential and hydraulic pump. The fluid in the gearbox not only serves as a lubricant, but also ensures the operation of the hydraulic drive. The manufacturer recommends filling the gearbox with Honda CTV Fluid (temporary replacement for Dexron III). Under normal driving conditions, the fluid in the gearbox should be changed after 144,000 km or 6 years. Under severe driving conditions, the fluid should be changed after 96,000 km or 4 years.
Checking the level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the plug of the gearbox inspection hole with a hex key and check the fluid level, which should reach the lower edge of the hole. The level should be at the bottom edge of the hole.
3. Add fluid if necessary.
Oil change
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place a tray under the gearbox, unscrew the filler and drain plugs.
3. Drain the oil.
4. Replace the drain plug and tighten to 47 Nm.
5. Fill with oil until it flows out of the filler hole (approximately 1.0 l).
6. Replace the filler cap and tighten to 47 Nm.
