Honda CR-Z, ZF1 (EU)

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Honda CR-Z, ZF1 (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1,4 to 1,6 liters. Service intervals include checks at 1 month or 20000 km/12 months and changes at 60000 km/36 months or 120000 km/72 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Honda CR-Z ZF1 manual transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 1.6 liters, which represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt unit from empty.
  • The service fill capacity of 1.4 liters is lower than the dry fill figure, reflecting the residual fluid that remains in the transaxle during a routine drain and refill procedure.
  • Under normal use conditions, the manual transaxle fluid on the CR-Z 1.5 i-VTEC IMA S is due for a check every 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
  • The change interval under normal use extends to 120,000 km or 72 months, meaning the fluid is designed to remain in service for up to six years before a full replacement is required in everyday driving conditions.
  • Severe use conditions shorten the change interval to 60,000 km or 36 months, cutting both the distance and time thresholds exactly in half compared to the normal use schedule.
  • The check interval under severe use is listed as 1 month, a notably short period that reflects how demanding operating conditions accelerate fluid degradation and make more frequent monitoring necessary.
  • Both the normal and severe use rows share identical dry and service fill capacities of 1.6 liters and 1.4 liters respectively, confirming that use conditions affect only the service intervals and not the fluid volume specifications.
