Additional Notes
- The Honda CR-V RM3/RM4 2.4 4WD rear differential carries a dry fill capacity of 1.5 liters, a figure that reflects the total volume of an empty or overhauled unit rather than a routine fluid exchange.
- For the 2011-2014 production span, the rear differential service fill capacity is rated at 1.2 liters, representing the amount of fluid expected to be added during a standard drain-and-refill procedure where residual fluid remains in the housing.
- The 2014-2016 variant of the same 2.4 4WD configuration carries a slightly higher service fill capacity of 1.25 liters, a modest but distinct difference from the earlier specification despite sharing an identical dry fill volume of 1.5 liters.
- The gap between the 1.5-liter dry fill and the lower service fill figures in both configurations indicates that a portion of fluid is retained within the differential assembly after draining, which is a normal characteristic of rear differential servicing.
- Both configurations specify a flexible service interval governed by the on-board maintenance system, meaning the vehicle's monitoring logic determines when a fluid change is due rather than a fixed mileage or time-based schedule.
