Additional Notes

  • The Honda CR-V V Hybrid RT6 rear differential holds 1.5 liters on a dry fill, which reflects the total system volume measured when the unit is completely empty, such as after a full overhaul or component replacement.
  • The service fill capacity is 1.2 liters across all RT6 configurations covering 2018-2023, meaning a routine drain-and-refill procedure accounts for roughly 0.3 liters less than the dry fill figure, as residual fluid remains in the housing.
  • Under normal use conditions, the rear differential fluid change interval is set at 60,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first, with a check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months.
  • Under severe use conditions, the change interval shortens to 40,000 km with no time-based limit stated, while the check interval remains at 20,000 km or 12 months.
  • A first change only condition under normal use carries a notably extended interval of 200,000 km or 120 months, which represents a one-time factory-fill service event rather than a recurring maintenance cycle.
  • When the first change only condition is combined with severe use, the interval drops sharply to 20,000 km with no time-based limit, and no separate check interval is listed for that specific condition.
  • The 2018-2020 RT6 variant and the 2020-2023 PF-designated RT6 variant share identical capacity figures and interval structures across all four use conditions, indicating no specification change was introduced between those production periods.
