Honda CR-V II, RD4/RD5/RD6/RD7 (EU)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Honda CR-V II, RD4/RD5/RD6/RD7 (EU) coolant capacity ranges from 5,3 to 8 liters. Service intervals include checks at 20000 km or 12 months, and changes at 100000 km or 60 months and 200000 km or 120 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Honda CR-V II (RD4/RD5/RD6/RD7) cooling system specifications cover four distinct configurations across the 2002-2007 model years, each carrying its own capacity and change interval values.
  • The 2.2i-CTDi 4WD, produced from 2004-2007, lists two separate capacity figures: 8 liters for a dry fill and 6.8 liters for a service fill. The dry fill figure represents a fully drained and empty system, while the service fill figure applies when residual coolant remains after a standard drain, making the distinction relevant to how thoroughly the system is evacuated before refilling.
  • The 2.0i-VTEC 4WD and the 2.4i-VTEC 4WD both share a cooling system capacity of 5.3 liters, while the 2.4i-VTEC 2WD holds a slightly larger 5.5 liters. The difference between the two 2.4i-VTEC variants suggests the drivetrain configuration has a minor influence on total coolant volume.
  • All four configurations share the same check interval of every 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, indicating a consistent inspection frequency across petrol and diesel variants alike.
  • The 2.2i-CTDi 4WD carries a coolant change interval of 100,000 km or 60 months under normal use, which is notably shorter than the 200,000 km or 120-month interval specified for all three petrol variants. The diesel engine therefore requires coolant renewal at half the mileage and time threshold of the petrol engines.
  • The three petrol configurations, the 2.0i-VTEC 4WD, the 2.4i-VTEC 2WD, and the 2.4i-VTEC 4WD, all share the 200,000 km or 120-month change interval, placing them in a consistent long-life coolant maintenance category relative to the diesel variant.
