Additional Notes

  • Across the Honda CRX II (EU) lineup, the manual transaxle fluid capacity is specified at 1.8 liters for the 1.4, 1.6i SOHC, and 1.6i DOHC variants covering the 1988-1992 model years.
  • The CRX 1.6i VTEC carries a notably higher manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2.1 liters, which is 0.3 liters more than the other three engine variants in the same generation.
  • A transaxle combines the transmission and drive axle into a single unit, and a 2.1-liter fill capacity in the VTEC variant reflects the greater internal volume associated with accommodating higher-output drivetrain components.
  • All four configurations share an identical fluid check interval of every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • The fluid change interval is uniform across all variants at 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, meaning the more performance-oriented VTEC unit follows the same drain cycle despite holding more fluid.
  • The check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months is notably more frequent than the change interval of 40,000 km or 24 months, indicating that fluid level monitoring is scheduled four times between each full drain-and-fill service.
  • All specifications across the 1988-1992 CRX II (EU) range are designated for normal use conditions, with no separate severe-use intervals listed for any of the four engine variants.
