Honda CR-V IV, RE6/RM (EU)

Transfer case fluid capacity & service interval

Honda CR-V IV, RE6/RM (EU) transfer case fluid capacity ranges from 0,41 to 0,45 liters. Service intervals include checks at 20000 km or 12 months, and changes at 40000, 60000, 80000, or 120000 km. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Honda CR-V IV transfer case fluid capacity splits into two distinct values: 0.45 liter for a dry fill and 0.41 liter for a service fill. The dry fill figure applies when the unit is completely empty, such as after a full overhaul or replacement, while the service fill figure reflects the smaller volume needed when some residual fluid remains after a routine drain.
  • Both the 1.6i-DTEC 4WD (118 kW) covering 2015-2018 and the 2.2i-DTEC 4WD covering 2012-2015 share identical capacity values of 0.45 liter dry and 0.41 liter service, indicating the same transfer case unit is used across both diesel engine variants.
  • The check interval for the transfer case fluid is set at 20,000 km or 12 months across the 2.2i-DTEC 4WD configurations, with the 1.6i-DTEC 4WD under normal use conditions carrying the same check schedule.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2.2i-DTEC 4WD specifies a transfer case fluid change at 80,000 km or 48 months, which represents the standard maintenance cadence for typical driving environments.
  • The 2.2i-DTEC 4WD under severe use conditions carries a significantly shortened change interval of 40,000 km or 24 months, exactly half the distance and time of the normal use interval, reflecting the accelerated fluid degradation associated with demanding operating conditions.
  • An initial service designation on the 2.2i-DTEC 4WD extends the change interval considerably, reaching 120,000 km or 96 months under normal use. Initial service intervals are typically applied to factory-fill fluids, which are formulated or conditioned differently from standard replacement fluids.
  • When initial service and severe use conditions are combined for the 2.2i-DTEC 4WD, the change interval settles at 60,000 km or 48 months, a figure that sits between the standard severe interval and the extended initial service normal interval, reflecting the compounding effect of both conditions on fluid life.
