Additional Notes
- Across all four configurations of the Honda CR-V III, RE (EU), the brake fluid fill level is specified as between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, rather than as a fixed volume in liters. A "between min and max" specification is typical for brake fluid, where the reservoir level is used as the reference point instead of a measured capacity.
- The 2.0i-VTEC 2WD and 2.0i-VTEC 4WD variants share identical brake fluid service intervals, with a change interval of 36 months under normal use conditions, covering the 2007-2011 model years.
- The 2.2i-DTEC 4WD carries the same 36-month change interval under normal use conditions as the petrol variants, though its production window within the CR-V III range starts in 2010, making it a later addition compared to the 2007-starting petrol configurations.
- The 36-month interval is a time-based specification rather than a mileage-based one, which reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid. Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time, lowering its boiling point regardless of how many kilometers have been driven.
- All four configurations note the hydraulic brake/clutch system as the application, indicating the brake fluid reservoir serves both the braking circuit and the hydraulic clutch actuation system in these variants.
- The 2.4i-VTEC 2WD, spanning 2007-2011, aligns with the same 36-month normal-use change interval as the other petrol and diesel configurations, with no deviation in the fill level specification.
