Additional Notes

  • The Honda CR-V RE3/RE4 automatic transaxle carries a dry fill capacity significantly larger than the service fill across all configurations, reflecting the difference between a complete overhaul fill and a routine drain-and-refill procedure that leaves residual fluid in the torque converter and passages.
  • For the 2.4 2WD configuration covering 2006-2010, the dry fill capacity is 7 liters, while the service fill is 2.6 liters, meaning a standard fluid change replaces roughly 37% of the total system volume.
  • The 2.4 4WD variant for 2006-2010 carries a dry fill of 7.2 liters, the highest dry fill value across all listed configurations, with a service fill of 2.6 liters matching the 2WD equivalent of the same period.
  • Both the 2.4 2WD and 2.4 4WD configurations updated for 2010-2011 show a reduction in dry fill capacity compared to their 2006-2010 counterparts, with the 2WD dropping from 7 liters to 6.35 liters and the 4WD dropping from 7.2 liters to 7 liters.
  • The service fill capacity also decreased slightly in the 2010-2011 configurations, from 2.6 liters to 2.5 liters across both 2WD and 4WD variants, indicating a modest reduction in the fluid exchanged during a routine service.
  • Under severe use conditions, all listed configurations share a change interval of 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first, applying equally to both 2WD and 4WD drivetrains across the covered model years.
  • The 2.4 2WD for 2006-2010 under normal use conditions lists capacity figures but no change interval, whereas the severe use row for the same configuration includes the 30,000-mile/24-month interval alongside identical capacity values.
  • The 2010-2011 configurations for both 2WD and 4WD include a flexible interval option governed by the on-board maintenance system, which determines change timing based on operating conditions rather than a fixed mileage or time schedule, with capacity figures remaining the same as the severe use rows for those configurations.
