TypeSpecifications

  • Rear
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 1,2 liter (Dry fill)
  • Capacity 1 liter (Service fill)

Additional Notes

  • The Honda CR-V RD1/RD3 2.0i 4WD rear differential holds 1.2 liters on a dry fill, which reflects the total fluid volume required when the unit is completely empty, such as after a rebuild or component replacement.
  • The service fill capacity of 1 liter is lower than the dry fill figure, as a routine drain does not evacuate all fluid from the differential housing, leaving a residual amount behind.
  • Both capacity values apply under normal use conditions, meaning the specifications are not adjusted for severe driving environments such as towing, off-road use, or extreme temperatures.
