Honda FR-V (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Honda FR-V (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2,6 to 6,8 liters. Service intervals include checking every 20000 km or 12 months, and changing every 80000 km or 48 months, or every 120000 km or 96 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 FR-V 1.8i automatic transaxle holds 6.8 liters at dry fill, a figure that reflects the total fluid volume required when the transmission is completely empty, such as after a full overhaul or replacement.
  • The service fill capacity of 2.6 liters is considerably lower than the dry fill figure, as a routine fluid change only displaces the portion of fluid that drains from the pan, leaving the torque converter and internal passages filled.
  • Under normal use conditions, the automatic transaxle fluid on the FR-V 1.8i (2007-2010) is subject to a check interval of every 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
  • The normal use change interval is set at 80,000 km or 48 months, meaning the 2.6-liter service fill quantity applies at roughly every four years or 80,000 km of operation.
  • A first change only condition carries a significantly extended change interval of 120,000 km or 96 months, which is 50 percent longer in distance and double the time compared to the normal use interval.
  • The check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months remains identical across both the normal and first change only conditions, indicating that inspection frequency does not vary regardless of which service schedule applies.
