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

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Honda CR-V II, RD4/RD5/RD6/RD7 (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1,9 to 3,1 liters. Service intervals include checks every 20000 km or 12 months and changes every 120000 km or 96 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) manual transaxle specifications list two distinct capacity figures for each engine variant: a dry fill and a service fill. The dry fill represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt unit, while the service fill reflects the smaller volume needed during a routine fluid change, accounting for residual fluid that remains in the transaxle.
  • The 2.2i-CTDi 4WD (2004-2007) carries the largest manual transaxle capacities across all listed variants, with a dry fill of 3.1 liters and a service fill of 2.5 liters. The gap of 0.6 liters between the two figures indicates a meaningful volume of fluid is retained in the unit during a standard drain procedure.
  • The 2.0i-VTEC 4WD and the 2.4i-VTEC 4WD share an identical service fill capacity of 1.9 liters, despite the 2.0i-VTEC and 2.4i-VTEC being different engine displacements. Both also share the same dry fill of 2.3 liters, pointing to a common transaxle unit used across those two 4WD petrol configurations.
  • The 2.4i-VTEC 2WD variant holds a dry fill of 2.1 liters, which is 0.2 liters less than the 2.4i-VTEC 4WD dry fill of 2.3 liters. Both share the same service fill of 1.9 liters, suggesting the drivetrain configuration influences total transaxle volume more than the service drain volume.
  • All four listed variants share a uniform fluid check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions. A periodic check at this interval allows for monitoring fluid level and condition without requiring a full fluid change.
  • The fluid change interval across all variants is set at 120,000 km or 96 months (8 years) under normal use conditions. An 8-year time-based limit means that even low-mileage vehicles are subject to a fluid change within that period regardless of distance traveled.
