Additional Notes

  • Across all Honda CR-V V, RW1/RW2 (EU) 2018-2021 configurations covered here, the cooling system dry fill or overhaul capacity falls within a 7.5-7.6 liter range, reflecting the total volume required when the system is fully drained and refilled from an empty state.
  • The RW1 variants, both the 1.5 L PF and 1.5 VTEC PF, list the higher capacity figure as a dry fill, while the RW2 AWD variants label the same 7.5-7.6 liter figure specifically as an overhaul capacity, indicating a distinction in how each drivetrain configuration categorizes a complete system refill.
  • Service fill capacity on the RW1 variants is listed as 6.2-6.3 liters, whereas the RW2 AWD variants carry a single fixed value of 6.2 liters, representing a small but noted difference between the two chassis configurations during routine coolant replacement.
  • The gap between the service fill and the dry fill or overhaul capacity across all configurations amounts to roughly 1.3-1.4 liters, which corresponds to residual coolant that remains in the system during a standard service drain rather than a complete overhaul procedure.
  • All configurations share a coolant check interval of every 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applying uniformly regardless of drivetrain or engine variant.
  • For subsequent coolant changes following the first, all configurations specify a change interval of 100,000 km or 60 months, meaning routine maintenance after the initial service follows a five-year or 100,000 km cycle.
  • The first coolant change interval across all configurations is set at 200,000 km or 120 months, which is double the subsequent change interval in both distance and time, reflecting a longer service life for the factory-fill coolant.
