Good day to all! From this article you will learn how partial replacement oils in automatic transmission Honda SRV... First, as usual, a little theory.
Automatic transmission is one of the most demanding parts modern cars... At the same time, the automatic transmission is one of the most expensive parts of a car. Therefore, in order to avoid costly repair or replacement of the machine, it must be properly operated and maintained. The most significant procedure is ATF replacement. We will talk about this today.
When is an oil change required in a Honda SRV automatic transmission?
An oil change in a Honda SRV machine is required to be performed after 30,000 km. However, if you are using the car in difficult conditions, then this period is best shortened. In this case, severe operating conditions mean frequent towing of trailers, other cars, or driving on high revs, frequent wheel slip, etc. If you bought a used car and are in doubt about the last time the fluid in the box was changed, then it is also better not to delay with the replacement. Also, if you notice jerks or delays when changing gears, then you must first change the ATF.
What oil is required to replace a Honda SRV automatic transmission?
HONDA CR-V automatic transmissions require oil of standard or. The last liquid is over modern version... However, both liquids are compatible and mix well with each other without any consequences. For a partial replacement, you will need about 4 liters of ATF.
What tool or attachments will you need?
To change the oil in the automatic transmission Honda SRV, we need standard set tools, namely:
1. 10 "square wrench.
2. Funnel with extension hose.
3. A clean cloth, napkin or rag.
4. A container for working off, preferably with a graduated scale, to measure the volume of the drained oil.
5. The simplest carburetor cleaner.
6. Sealing washer for drain plug.
The progress of oil change in automatic transmission Honda SRV
1. The first step is to measure the oil level in the box. This is done as follows. The engine warms up to working temperature, after which the car is placed on a flat surface. We turn off the engine and wait 1-2 minutes. Then we take out the probe (it is located between the battery and the case air filter) and look at the current level. It should be at the point farthest from the end of the stylus. If the level is lower, then note for yourself that you will need to fill in a little more oil than was drained.
2. After that, remove the dipstick to the side and unscrew the drain plug with a tetrahedron. First, we just rip off the plug, remove the key to the side and turn the plug to the end with our hand. Keep a waste container close at hand. It is important not to drop the cork into the container for the old ATP, and also not to burn your hands with the oil, as it will be hot.
3. When the development has stopped flowing, we measure the volume of the drained oil. Should be about 3-3.5 liters.
4. We treat the drain plug with a carburetor cleaner. The point is that on this car v drain plug a special magnet is built in, which collects fine dust and shavings that are formed during the operation of the box.
5. Take a new O-ring and wrap the drain plug in place. Do not overdo it so as not to rip the threads.
6. Insert the hose into the dipstick hole and fill the automatic transmission with exactly the same amount of oil through the funnel as it was drained. Have you measured the right amount? If not, then don't forget to do it.
7. Insert the dipstick into place and start the engine. We are waiting for it to warm up to operating temperature. We sit in the salon and, with the brake pedal pressed, turn on all the automatic transmission positions one by one. We do everything with a slight delay of 3-5 seconds in each position. Then we turn off the engine and check the oil level in the box. It should be at the top mark on the dipstick. If the oil level is lower, add the correct amount.
Important! Do not pour oil into the box! If you accidentally poured more than required, then pump out the excess amount with a conventional medical probe.
8. After a few kilometers, check the level again. He shouldn't change.
Everything! This completes the procedure for changing the oil in the automatic transmission Honda SRV. In time, all the work takes about 30-40 minutes. After completing this procedure on your own, you can save on work in the service. The cost of everything will be equal to the cost Supplies, namely the transmission fluid.
We also invite you to watch a video of changing the Honda SRV 3 oil in the automatic transmission, in which everything is described and shown in detail.
Thank you for your attention and see you soon on our website!
Many Russian car enthusiasts want their favorite car to be comfortable. modern salon, powerful engine as well as an excellent suspension that can cope with any off-road conditions. These characteristics are fully consistent with the crossover, which was designed by engineers and designers. Japanese company Honda Motor Co., Ltd. The model is called CR-V III (third generation). The car was produced from 2007 to 2012, after that it was replaced new model 4th generation.
Transmission features
Honda SRV 3 is equipped with two types of gearboxes - manual transmission (6-speed manual) and automatic transmission (5-speed automatic). The automatic box includes:
According to numerous reviews of car owners, the CR-V automatic copes with its work - it changes gears very smoothly and gives a minimum excessive consumption of fuel. The torque converter works in the driving range from second to fifth gear. McPherson front suspension and multi-link rear suspension make it easy and comfortable to ride on any road. On the Internet, advertising videos can be used to appreciate the beauty and power of this car.
Grade Logic system as component The automatic transmission shifts gears not only depending on the engine speed. Driving conditions are also analyzed - downhill, downhill, in the city, on uneven roads, as well as the position throttle, the use of the brake pedal and other parameters. Depending on this, the regulator with a fuzzy algorithm selects the most suitable gear, moving the shift moment to one side or the other.
Structurally, the automatic transmission, designed by Honda specialists, differs from similar units from other manufacturers. Other materials are used in the production of parts, the structure can withstand higher temperatures, because it is capable of working under heavy loads. Therefore, the deputy chief designer of Honda Motors, Masahira Ishikawa, claims that no other ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid), except for the one provided by the manufacturer, cannot be poured into the automatic transmission. It used to be ATF Z1, today it is the original ATF DW1. Otherwise, the box will fail after 30-40 thousand km, since no other oil is able to withstand such temperature regime- it will just boil, with far-reaching consequences.
When and how to change transmission fluid
CR-V owners should remember that in a Honda automatic transmission, the working fluid changes only by mileage. That is, it is useless to hope and wait until the oil darkens and a sediment appears in it. Transmission fluid, as a rule, does not change color, consistency over time and remains the same transparent. Only its properties change, many of which are lost after a run of 30–40 thousand km. Therefore, it is highly recommended to replace ATF after every 30 thousand run. If you have any additional questions on this topic, look at the videos, there are a lot of them on the Internet.
If the operating conditions are difficult, only partial replacement is regularly performed, then it is advisable to change it more often, after 15–20 thousand km. If you don't keep up with the schedule, expensive repairs may be needed over time. If the car is purchased at secondary market, then an oil change is immediately required, no matter what the previous owner of the car may say. According to Masahira Ishikawa, the oil replacement method used in automatic transmissions of other manufacturers is not suitable for CR-V machines.
That is, pumping oil under pressure and using a large amount of new fluid at the same time can only do harm. After all, the design of the gearbox at Honda is unique. There are at least two reasons why you should not rinse the box:
- The Honda automatic machine does not have a removable sump, so it cannot be physically removed and cleaned of deposits. During flushing, this turbidity will rise from the sump and settle on the filter, clogging it.
- The filter is not removable and not reusable. To get to it, you will need to completely disassemble the gearbox; the service station is unlikely to agree to this, and the cost of such work is very high.
Thus, the failure of the filter will sooner or later entail a breakdown of the entire automatic transmission. Clogged filter causes an increase in pressure working fluid at the input of the system and its absence at the output. As a result - the inability to get under way or the start of movement at high engine speeds. This means that the automatic transmission in the CR-V is out of order and very expensive repairs will be required.
Optimal and correct for the 3rd generation CR-V will be a partial replacement, in which the automatic transmission will require about 4 liters ATF oils DW1 - strange as it may seem at first glance. This transmission fluid replaces ATF Z1 and is fully compatible with it. That is, it is possible to partially replace ATF DW1 instead of the previously filled ATF Z1.
The procedure for partial replacement of the lubricant
Oil change in a 3rd generation Honda SRV car is displayed in the video - many videos on this topic can be found on the Internet. Partial replacement of the lubricating fluid can be carried out independently, only for this you need to place the car on an overpass or above inspection pit... In addition, you need to purchase 4 liters of original ATF DW1 transmission fluid (preferably with a small margin), and also have with you rubber gloves, work clothes, a set of tools and a container into which the old liquid will be drained.
- The engine and transmission are warming up, the Honda CR-V is placed on an overpass or above a viewing pit. The hood opens, and 5 minutes after the engine is turned off, the oil level in the automatic transmission is measured. If it is below the required level, a new one is added to the filler hole (where the dipstick was) to the required level (just below the upper mark of the dipstick). After this procedure, the probe is not installed back.
- After another 5-10 minutes, you can drain the old transmission fluid... A temporary delay is made so that the oil cools down a little and does not cause burns. Then you need to find the drain hole. The machine should be located to the right of the engine belt. In order to get to the drain plug, you will have to remove the protection (if installed) and clean the drain plug with a metal brush from dirt. She should be near the right front wheel Honda SRV.
- A container with a volume of at least 4 liters is placed under the cork, and the cork is carefully unscrewed with a 3/8 square. It is necessary to tighten it with your fingers, after putting on gloves so that it does not fall into the container. Oil will begin to flow out of the automatic transmission crankcase.
- After a while, it will stop flowing altogether. The container should contain about 3–3.5 liters of waste liquid. After that, the magnetic end of the drain plug must be cleaned of metal shavings and dirt, for this you can use WD-40. After cleaning, it is imperative to replace the old aluminum washer in the cork with a new one.
- The volume of the leaked liquid is measured, this can be done using plastic bottles volume of 1 liter, pouring mining there. After that, it will be known more precisely how much of the old grease has flowed out.
- The plug is installed in its place. The filling phase of the new lubricant begins. For this purpose, you can use a funnel with a hose or a large syringe (not medical), to which you also need to connect a hose. The hose is inserted into the filler hole (where the dipstick is). Replacing a new transmission fluid in an automatic transmission is carried out in the same volume as that leaked out.
- In the process of filling, you need to be careful not to pour ATF, it is better to add a little later. Otherwise, you will have to climb under the hood again, remove the dipstick and suck the excess liquid back with a syringe.
- The engine starts and warms up, and with it the automatic transmission. After warming up, the motor turns off and a temporary pause is taken from 3 to 5 minutes. Only after that the level of the working fluid is measured with a dipstick. This sequence is required for the Honda CR-V.
According to the oil level in the Honda CR-V automatic transmission: some masters advise that it be on the upper bar of the dipstick. Others believe that the level should be located in the middle, between the minimum and maximum. In any case, the car will drive normally, the main thing is that the level is not higher than the maximum. Otherwise, the gearbox will have problems over time.
And one more tip: do not fill in transmission fluid from other manufacturers - only from Honda. Only in this case, the CR-V transmission will delight with trouble-free confident operation.
There are also supporters of a complete lubricant change, but this may require 10-12 liters of ATF. Replacement is done in 2-3 steps, between them you need to drive a car for a week.
"Honda CR-V" - compact crossover, characterized by comfort, good handling and excellent off-road qualities... Currently, Honda has launched the fifth generation of the model. The car is delivered to Russia with 2.0 and 2.4 liters. gasoline engines and types of transmission, automatic transmission, manual transmission, variator. "Honda CR-V", having increased ground clearance, perfectly adapted to the conditions of the Russian winter and off-road conditions.
As part of maintenance, it is necessary to change the oil in the Honda CR-V automatic transmission.
Motorists, choosing between manual, automatic and continuously variable transmissions, often opt for an automatic transmission that provides maximum driving comfort. Timely maintenance is essential for the transmission to function flawlessly. "Honda SR-V" 3 and other generations of the model are an important component of maintenance, allowing to extend the life of the device.
When an oil change is required
Periodicity replace ATF, declared by the manufacturer, is 30 - 35 thousand km. mileage for the automatic gearbox and up to 60,000 km. for mechanics. But this rule is valid under moderate operating conditions. The need for more frequent transmission maintenance is influenced by a number of external factors. The oil change in the box of the "Honda CR-V" automatic machine, operated in our area, should occur more often one and a half to two times the specified time, that is, after 15 - 20 thousand km. mileage. And when buying a car on the secondary market, it is recommended immediately.
Should I rinse the box
After a certain period of time, the oil loses its lubricating properties and ceases to cool the automatic transmission parts, provoking a quick wear of the device, then its replacement is required. It is not recommended to completely flush the box with the Honda SR-B machine. In addition, not all vehicle variants include a pallet removal. As a result of flushing, even more clogging of the box and the oil filter is possible, since the accumulated dirt will begin to settle. Pumping oil under pressure with a large amount of fluid will not bring much benefit, so it is better not to risk using this method. But the need for timely verification remains. The procedure can be carried out both in the service and on your own.
Depending on the type installed filter Automatic transmission manipulations with hardware flushing may be strictly not allowed. Full is possible on a car with an existing automatic transmission mesh filter. For the felt filter element of the box, the procedure is extremely undesirable. Car owners of some cars, for example, the 2004 Honda SR-B, often face the problem of finding a measuring device when changing the oil in an automatic transmission. If the probe is not in its usual place, it will most likely be under the battery. Thoroughly rummaging around battery, you will find a small loop on the probe.
What kind of oil to fill
The automatic box "Honda" has some structural differences from the devices of other companies, for this reason, the manufacturer recommends filling only original product, intended for automatic transmission "Honda SR-V":
- ATF-Z1 - transmission oil used for standard Honda automatic transmissions on cars from 1995 to 2011;
- ATF-DW1 is a new grease with an improved formula that completely replaces ATF-Z1 and is used on machines manufactured before and after 2011.
When using other oils, experts predict an imminent failure of the box, therefore, in order to avoid the need for expensive repairs or replacement of automatic transmissions, it is better to use the recommendation of professionals. The oil change process is similar for all model variations, the only difference is how much oil you have to fill in the automatic transmission. So, for the car "Honda SR-B 1" you will need 3.5 liters, and for the "SR-B 3" - 4 liters lubricant ATF Z1 or ATF-DW1.
Replacement tools
Before "Honda SR-B", you need to prepare all necessary tools and materials. Everything you need to replace ATP:
- 4 p. original transmission fluid recommended by the manufacturer. You can use ATF Z1 or ATF-DW1;
- sealing ring for automatic transmission plug 90471-PX4-000;
- flow-through filter element 25430-PLR-003;
- keys;
- gloves, rags;
- container for draining the used transmission fluid.
Partial oil change
It is not difficult to change the transmission fluid in the automatic transmission. ATF is drained through the drain plug and poured into the dipstick hole. In this case, it is important to monitor the level so as not to overflow. Before checking the oil level after stopping the engine, wait about 5 minutes to avoid burns, because the operating fluid temperature is quite high.
The replacement procedure is performed as follows:
Some masters believe that it is necessary to top up the oil to the maximum mark, while others believe that it is up to the middle. In both cases, the automatic transmission will function normally, the main thing is not to overflow above the maximum.
Complete oil change
This procedure is carried out using a special apparatus into which oil is poured. The device, through the connection to the hoses of the cooling circuit, fills in a new fluid that replaces the old oil. Do-it-yourself change is also possible, while we go through all the stages of a regular replacement until the moment when we put the drain plug back in place and filled in a new liquid. Don't start the engine yet.
- Next, we remove the hose coming from the bottom of the radiator, lower its end into a transparent container of a small volume (about 1.5 liters).
- We start the car for a few minutes to pump up a liter of oil.
- Add the same volume of new ATF to the filler hole as it was drained.
- We repeat these manipulations until a clear liquid flows out.
- We return the cooling circuit hose to its place, top up the required amount of ATF, if necessary, adjust the level.
Complete oil change of automatic transmission "Honda SR-B" will require about 10 - 12 liters of ATF. Honda does not recommend this procedure. It is better to regularly renew the lubricant in the usual way after 15 - 20 km. mileage. If you want to achieve maximum effect renovation, it will be necessary to carry out 2 - 3 standard procedures for partial replacement with an interval of about 100 km.
Honda cr-v fourth generation- compact japanese SUV very popular on Russian market... The car is well demanded with an automatic transmission, which provides comfort in the city and ease of operation. But in order for the transmission to always please its owner, it must be serviced in a timely manner. Fortunately, some procedures with this automatic transmission can be performed independently. For example, change the oil in the box. This procedure does not require professional skills. The kit will be enough for this. hand tools as well as special materials. Let's consider in detail how to change the oil in a Honda CR-V 4 automatic transmission.
When to change the oil?
The transmission fluid in the automatic transmission changes depending on the mileage. The manufacturer claims that under favorable conditions, the replacement schedule is 40-50 thousand kilometers. But in harsh operating conditions, the replacement frequency is strongly recommended to be reduced to 30 thousand km. In extreme cases, change factory oil the first time you have it after 15 thousand kilometers, and when buying a used car, you need to change the oil right away - this is more reliable, safer, and more confidence that the box will last as long as possible.
Should I rinse the box?
Definitely worth it. Over time, the oil loses its lubricating properties, and is no longer able to cool the internal components of the gearbox, which as a result overheat and wear out quickly. At the same time, dirt deposits and metal shavings accumulate inside the box as a result of mechanical wear of the parts.
Please note that some configurations of the Honda CR-V are not equipped with a removable sump, so a lot of dirt quickly accumulates in the gearbox. All this mud also clogs the oil filter, which also has to be changed.
If you do not pay attention to these problems for a long time, sooner or later the gearbox will become unusable. Even in the dealership, they may refuse to take on the repair of the gearbox, and they will advise you to replace the box with a new one. Therefore, you need to check and change the oil regularly, at least every 20 thousand km.
Partial oil change
This procedure is considered the most common, since it does not take much time, and it is quite enough for the gearbox to serve throughout the entire operation of the car.
What to upload?
The most the right oil for automatic transmission Honda CR-V 4th generation ATF fluid DW1. Alternatively, you can also recommend ATF Z1.
Replacement materials
- Tools, wrenches and heads
- Rags, gloves
- New oil
- New oil filter
- Container for draining old oil
Sequence of work
- The engine is warming up, the car is parked on the overpass. Alternatively, a flyover or observation pit will do.
- Let the engine run for minutes, turn off, then open the hood and measure the level of the remaining oil in the automatic transmission
- The crankcase must be removed at a suitable location under the underside of the vehicle to gain access to the oil filter to be replaced. Also in this place there is a drain plug, it must be unscrewed and the waste liquid must be drained into a prepared pan. This must be done with care as hot oil can cause burns. Please note that the drain plug (for draining the oil) is unscrewed using a 3/8 square
- Wait until the oil is completely drained from the automatic transmission. About 3.5 liters of old oil should come out.
- Metal shavings and dirt may remain on the drain plug, it must be cleaned with a special WD-40 compound. In addition, there is an aluminum washer in the cork, it should also be replaced with a new one.
- Reinstall the plug and start pouring a new one. transmission oil... This requires a hose or funnel. Alternatively, a special syringe will do. A hose should be connected to it, which, in turn, should be inserted into the filler neck, after removing the dipstick from it. Please note that the new fluid must be poured as much as the old oil has flowed out.
- It is better to underfill the oil a little than to pour it over. You can top it up later, after starting the engine. Then a control measurement is made, and the liquid is topped up as needed. Some masters believe that the oil should be at a level between the Max and Min marks on the dipstick - this is considered the most optimal level.
- After a week, the liquid level can be measured again
Honda CRV cars of the 3rd generation are equipped with 2 types of gearboxes - a mechanical six-speed and a five-speed "automatic", which is quite reliable if it is serviced in a timely manner. Changing the oil in a vending machine is a simple and fairly cheap procedure. Let's take a look at how professionals do it.
When to change automatic transmission fluid
The oil in the Honda automatic transmission is changed according to the mileage - there is no reference to the years of operation. It doesn't matter that it is light and does not smell like burning, no sediment falls out - it will always be like that, but it will begin to lose its properties closer to 40 thousand km. Hence the recommendation - to make a replacement every 30 thousand km. If the car is used in difficult conditions, the fluid is changed more often (every 15-20 thousand km), but partially.
If you do not follow the rules, you will soon have to repair the box.
When buying a car from hands, the oil should be changed immediately, no matter how the previous owner assured you that “just changed it”.
What kind of oil to fill
By design automatic gearboxes Honda cars are different from other manufacturers' boxes. The parts are made of materials that can withstand high loads and temperatures.
Otherwise, the box is unlikely to live up to the 50-thousandth run. Other oil is not able to retain its properties when high temperature- it just boils.
What is needed
The procedure can be performed if there is a lift, pit or overpass.
You will need:
- ATF DW1 fluid (four liters);
- set of tools;
- container for draining the waste liquid;
- new aluminum washer for the drain plug;
- funnel or large syringe with hose and gloves.
Replacement procedure
Engineers of the manufacturing company argue that oil change in automatic transmissions on Honda SRV cars should be done differently - not like on other cars.
To pump a large amount of "transmission" under pressure - only harm the box. The design of the Honda automatic transmission has the following features:
- there is no removable pallet, which makes it impossible to clean it from wear products of rubbing parts. If you try to flush the box under pressure, all the dirt will move to the filter;
- the filter is also non-removable. To clean it, you need to disassemble (and then correctly assemble!) Almost the entire box, which is very expensive.
When flushing, the filter will become clogged with slag, which will disable the automatic transmission. Due to clogging, the oil pressure rises at the inlet of the system, but there is no more pressure at the outlet from it. The car will not even budge or it will move at high revs. If you see this, get ready for expensive repairs Automatic transmission.
Some Russian service stations are very fond of telling tales about the complex procedure for changing the oil in the automatic transmission Honda SRV 3. Service stations are trying to “rip off” money for this to buy 15 or more liters of fluid.
It is optimal for the third generation Honda CR-V automatic transmission to partially change the fluid - in this case, only 4 liters will be enough:
- warm up the car and the box to operating temperature, place it on a lift, above a pit or on an overpass;
- stop the engine, open the hood, wait 5 minutes. Then measure the level with the dipstick. If there is a shortage, top up to the upper mark through the dipstick hole (at its upper mark). Do not put the dipstick back;
- wait another 10 minutes (so that the liquid cools down) and look for the automatic transmission drain hole. If the protection is installed, it will have to be dismantled. The plug is located to the right of the car's engine near the wheel. Clean it from dirt with an iron brush;
- Place an empty container with a volume of at least 4 liters under the plug. An empty 5-liter water or washer bottle will do;
- using a ⅜ square drive, carefully unscrew the plug almost to the end;
- now put on gloves and completely unscrew the cork without dropping it into the container;
- let the oil drain completely. Should flow out just under 3.5 liters;
- then clean the magnetic part of the plug from chips. Be sure to replace the old plug sealing washer with a new one;
- measure the volume of the leaked oil. This will tell you how much new fluid you need to add;
- replace the plug;
- go to fill. Insert a funnel or a hose with a syringe at the end into the hole of the gearbox dipstick, fill in the liquid as you have drained. It is important not to pour ATF, it is better to add a little later than to pump out the excess;
- start the car and warm up power unit to operating temperature. Together with it, the automatic transmission will also warm up;
- switch the gears of the box, lingering in each position for 5-10 seconds;
- stop the engine and wait about 10 minutes. Now measure the level and top up if necessary.
There are opinions that the liquid level should be at the maximum mark or in the middle. And so, and so it will be correct, the main thing is not to overflow.
For a complete oil change, three partial changes must be carried out at intervals of approximately one week. You will have to buy about 12 liters of ATF.
CR-V 2
The procedure is performed in the same way. Only the amount of oil differs: the total volume is 7.2 liters. Partial replacement drains 3.1 liters.
CR-V 4
Changing the automatic transmission oil in a Honda SRV 4 is absolutely the same. With a run of 90 thousand km, it also changes external filter Automatic transmission. Original number 25430-PLR-003.
Nothing complicated in the oil change procedure automatic transmission There is no Honda CR-V of any generation - if a car service issues an impressive bill for this procedure, refuse and look for a more honest service station.
