We have a 2004 CRV. We got it in 2012 when it had 95,000 miles on the odometer. It now has 305,000 on it. Aside from basic routine maintenance, it has been rock solid, except for the AC that finally gave out this past summer, and the CD player that stopped playing CDs. I change my own oil every 3,000 miles, and strictly use synthetic oil. Thanks for an excellent video.
Thank you for watching and commenting, Duane! I have to say that generation CRVs is probably the last gen of rock solid ones. I loved it for 15 years and still miss it. Sometimes you don’t realize how good you have it until you no longer have it, right! 300k miles?! Good for you! That’s a testament for quality vehicle and importance of regular maintenance!
3,000mi on synthetic.... give me the rest so I can use it for another 6,000 miles. Sheesh. People are still stuck in the 80's! Oil is a lot more robust than this.
Mid 2000’s Hondas are known for transmission problems, so it pays to do trans oil changes every 30,000. As for oil, I’d only put about 3,000 miles on it per year, so an annual or 3,000 mile interval worked for me. Plus, if the oil looks dirty - change it. Don’t wait until 10,000 mile interval. That’s what I do. You do you.
Great video. Just changed the timing chain and water pump at 250k, runs great, doesn't burn oil at all, same fuel consumption as ever. This model tends to beat up the rear coil springs setting the rear wheels in too high camber, easy fix.
@@anthonylawlor9130 that is fantastic, Anthony! These cars are almost bulletproof, compared to the modern stuff being produced. The only thing that seems to kill them is rust, so I hope you live in a warmer climate or at least rust proof it annually to make it last for a long time! Great cars!
Buying a 2003 CR-V today for my granddaughter. This video is very helpful, since I'm new to Hondas. This video gave me the knowledge to do a thorough prep on the car before she heads off to college. Thanks!
Great choice, Jim! They are excellent versatile vehicles! CRV stands for ‘comfortable round about vehicle’. I call it ‘compact recreational vehicle’ because of the portable table in the trunk floor and the fact that you can have 2 people sleeping comfortably when camping or long road trips. You just pull the front seats all the way forward, take out the headrests and recline them back all the way so they are level with the rear seat cushions. Then you recline the rear seat back and viola- you have a sleeping surface. I know it’s not flat, but like sleeping in a recliner. Try it! Oh yes, and make sure that the transmission is shifting smoothly. 2003-2004 has a 4-speed auto transmission (5-speed manual was available too, but I assume your granddaughter wants an auto), and 2005-2006 had a 5-speed auto transmission. Both are fairly reliable as long as serviced regularly. Also, if it’s AWD, be sure to replace the rear diff fluid every 15,000-30,000 miles to avoid shudder. The brake caliper slide pins and pad slides tent to gum up and stick, so be sure to clean and lube the brake components annually or every 10k miles. Just FYI.
I have a Honda crv 2006 lx I did a transmission oil change yesterday after 90,000 I put the Genuine Honda oil and it keeps running strong 💪 the mileage is 235300 I love Honda crv

Now when u replace ATF some say to start the car and shift through grears for a minutes or two just going P D 3rd 2nd 1st and back up again any thoughts on it
Jake, I think it is a good idea to let the fluid to circulate through the valleys and components, however I just did a drain and refill. So, in less you are doing several (or at least 2) drains and refills, letting the fluid circulate does not accomplish anything as it will circulate anyway next time you drive the car. Does that make sense? In this car, I did drains and fills every 30k miles, you saw the fluid was not too dirty. I agree with you though, if this is a used car you’re working on, and you are doing baseline on all fluids as the service history is not often available, I would drain and refill several times (at least 3) and shift the transmission through all the gears in between the cycles of drain and fill to ensure you’re are pushing out/mixing all the old fluid. Thanks for watching!
Cool video. Got a 2003 CRV, been trying to look it up if mine is a AWD or 4WD, the owner manual says Replace rear differential fluid at 90,000 mi for 4WD only, any idea how to check ?
On your rear window, if it is AWD, it should say Real time AWD. Also, look under the rear bumper. If you see axles going to the wheel hubs, it’s got AWD, if no axles, you’ve got FWD CRV
CRVs do not come with 4WD. They are either FWD (front wheel drive) or AWD. It is a front-wheel drive platform with ability to send some power to rear wheels only when front wheels detect slipping. And I would recommend you replace your rear differential fluid every 30,000 with Honda Diff fluid (no other fluid is recommended as the components are very fluid sensitive) to avoid premature wear and drivetrain whining noises.
Mine has never been maintained just beat and I took it over to fix it up and now better late than never I guess but it is getting new axles, I drive this thing across the country it handles that type of driving and passes people like a legend, all hail the CR-V

Thanks for the question. I have never done that myself. Here is a video about the filter. It is external and looks like a fuel filter: ua-cam.com/video/qA_kI_FOqZQ/v-deo.html
Sorry I did not replace the transmission filter at that time. The filter is located outside the transmission, in front of the vehicle. It’s a little hassle to get to. It looks like an-line fuel filter- a small cylinder/canister.

Great video. Thanks for posting. At 2:16 do you have any idea what the part number is for that small black plastic piece held in place with the green clip?
You should be using 5W 20 Mobil 1 or similar not cheap Walmart oil. Honda K24A motor has complex valve train and VTEC and requires thin 5W20 otherwise engine damage can occur on a long run. Don't forget rear differential if it's a real-time 4wd
Thank you, Anthony! The oil is Synthetic 5w-20. Walmart oil has been tested ( multiple studies and oil analyses were done) and proven to satisfy the requirements for this application.
LOL, you think Walmart makes it’s own oil? Walmart and Costco both have quality synthetic oils made by other manufacturers that have been tested and have had good results. Me personally I think Pennzoil Platinum is the best outside of Amsoil, Mobil 1 is not what it used to be. Somehow you missed the fact that this is a very clean well taken care of car.
Wait... I took my CRV for a service last week and the mechanic was stunned when I mentioned using 5W20 oil. He suggested and did actually end up using 15W40. He said that if the engine were brand new the thinner oil might make sense, but not at 120K+ miles
@FeedThemCake thanks for your comment. Is your mechanic a certified Honda master technician? If you live in a cold climate, the oil viscosity suggested by your mechanic is too high. For a warmer climate this will work fine. I stick with what manufacturer recommends and adjust based on my climate. Thanks for watching!
@@MaximumDIYGarage I think you are right, I've looked everywhere, haven't changed the fuel pump sitting on only 60k miles...... Might do it down the track?

Hi Kamala! Over time, carbon deposits around the butterfly valve of the throttle body, which may not allow the valve to close properly. Cleaning throttle body ensures smooth engine idle and better throttle response. It can also help improve the fuel economy.
Potentially yes if you force it, but being gentle, I’ve done it on my GX470, CRV, Camry and XTerra without any problems. You need to be careful, that’s all.
I own a 2002 Honda CR-V it is shaking bad and riving high I have done some research and it is said that cleaning the throttle body butterfly will help with this problem. In another video though it said not to squirt the throttle body cleaner into the car, squirt it on like a brush or toothbrush and clean the throttle body butterfly that way. Do you have any advice or comments on that? It would be really helpful. I am planning on doing a transmission fluid drain and fill tomorrow Wednesday the latest.
Thank you for watching my video, Allie! My suggestion is to go the safe route and spray TB cleaner onto a cloth or toothbrush first and see how it goes. As you saw in my video, I had no issues spraying it directly into TB. Just make sure you allow enough time for the cleaner to dry/evaporate before starting the engine and driving the car. Let me know how it goes!
I know I saw you did it on your car directly that's why I wanted to ask you your opinion. So, thank you very much. I will be doing that real soon I will let you know how it goes
@@alliemercado3825 I have also done it on my Lexus GX470 and Nissan Xterra, worked really well! You just need to be very gentle with the round flap and not force it. I would also disconnect your battery before doing that as manipulating the TB flap can set your idle to high (1,500rpm). If the battery is off, it should not affect engine idle speed. If your TB is dirty, however, be prepared that your engine would have to adjust/relearn new idle speed as the clean TB flap will shut tighter than when it was dirty thus altering the air/fuel ratio/mixture. This should improve your fuel economy slightly.
@@MaximumDIYGarage Yeah, I saw in a video what to do relearn the new throttled. We had to stop for the day because I live in the central valley and the wind started picking up bad. It was lifting the hood up and it wasn't safe. My Honda transmission fluid came in today though
Hey Maximum DIY Garage can you please help me with something. I am really scared and freaking out. I was cleaning my shift solenoid rods, because I got the same part but from the junk yard since mine was bad on one side. Anyways, I took the rods from the junk yard with that part and I took the rods out of my car when taking out the shift solenoid and now I'm scared and worried that maybe they were supposed to go a certain way. Because another video said to take them out one by one and clean them, but I got another part so I took them out
Yes, I have seen that. It looks like a fuel filter. I would consider changing that at higher mileage. My old fluid only had 35,000 miles on it and looked good.
No need to take the battery out. Just get a funnel with a long plastic hose on it and it seats fine in the transmission dipstick hole. C'mon man! Work smart, not hard! 🤔
You are correct, Jack! The quick way to refill the trans fluid is just using a long funnel with a hose like you said. I did this to clean under the battery tray, the air filter housing and to demonstrate the location of the key parts with everything out of the way.
The only thing I would add is please don't over torque the screws going into the air boy and cover. These are plastic parts and easily strip out. I want to shoot the guy who owned my CRV before me.

Me personally I think Pennzoil Platinum is the best outside of Amsoil, Mobil 1 is not what it used to be. Somehow you missed the fact that this is a very clean well taken care of car.
Thank you for watching and appreciating my clean CRV. It is now serving its next owner.
Wait... I took my CRV for a service last week and the mechanic was stunned when I mentioned using 5W20 oil. He suggested and did actually end up using 15W40. He said that if the engine were brand new the thinner oil might make sense, but not at 120K+ miles
@FeedThemCake thanks for your comment. Is your mechanic a certified Honda master technician? If you live in a cold climate, the oil viscosity suggested by your mechanic is too high. For a warmer climate this will work fine. I stick with what manufacturer recommends and adjust based on my climate. Thanks for watching!
Tq nice information video..
Thank you, Master John!
hey boss, where can i get crush washers? can i just find it at canadian tires or should i call honda dealership for parts?
You can get them at any auto parts store, Honda parts department or Amazon.com
Fuel filter?
I do not think 2nd gen CR-V have an external fuel filter. It must be built in with the fuel pump inside the tank.
@@MaximumDIYGarage I think you are right, I've looked everywhere, haven't changed the fuel pump sitting on only 60k miles...... Might do it down the track?
@righthand7965 I no longer have the vehicle. I sold it after great 15 years with it and admittedly miss it every day.
@@MaximumDIYGarage can't say I blame you, I don't think I'll ever part with mine 😊👍
Is this 2006 or 2004 crv?
This is a 2006. 2004 had 15” wheels and different grill and head/tail lights and rear bumper. 2002-2004 came with a 4-speed automatic transmission, 2005-2006 had 5-speed automatic transmission. All years had 5-speed manual too in the EX model, but quite rare.
Dang that is one clean engine!! Does it look that good because you cleaned it or because you took care of it? I appreciate this video so much. I now know i can do everything you did. I have an 05 crv and i’ve always had to wait for certain maintenance or repairs- not all mechanics are trustworthy lol. Is there a name for the short hose between the air box and the engine? Oh and neat trick with your dyi funnel! I think i’ll stick around though you’ve already sold it. Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words and for subscribing, Syberre! Yes, I try to keep my engine bays clean so it is easier to detect any new leaks.
It is such a great car, I owned it since new and had it for 15 years. I miss it. But I’m a bit of a car whore, so am working on my XTerra now.
Oh, the hose is just a vacuum hose. I do not know it’s name. Do you need to replace yours?
@@MaximumDIYGarage You're welcome. I've watched a few of your vids and you do a great job. I've owned mine for 17 yrs and i plan to drive her till she drops or I do lol
@@MaximumDIYGarage I do. it's cracked and has a hole. I'm sure what to ask for at the parts store nor the size. I can probably lure them out to take a look lol.
I recommend getting the part from Honda. It’s a PCV hose: www.hondapartsnow.com/genuine/honda~tube~pcv~17131-ppa-a01.html?vin=&make=Honda&model=CR-V&year=2005&submodel=&extra1=5%20Door%20EX&extra2=KA%205AT&filter=()&location=pd:4223457,9
Or are you talking about the intake hose? www.partsgeek.com/1hw8qhx-honda-crv-air-intake-hose.html?YN&PartsGeek+Google+Base&+Honda+CRV+Air+Intake+Hose+MTC+W0133-1850801+05-06+Honda+Air+Intake+Hose&fp=pp&gbm=a&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9KqG-8Hh-wIVSTizAB2BJgoIEAQYBiABEgL6bvD_BwE
Why is it important to clean the throttle body?
Hi Kamala! Over time, carbon deposits around the butterfly valve of the throttle body, which may not allow the valve to close properly. Cleaning throttle body ensures smooth engine idle and better throttle response. It can also help improve the fuel economy.
Cmon man, give that K24 engine some full synthetic. Supertech synthetic is like $3 more than the non.
It is a full synthetic oil, not a blend, no?
Can you harm the throttle body cleaning it that way?
Potentially yes if you force it, but being gentle, I’ve done it on my GX470, CRV, Camry and XTerra without any problems. You need to be careful, that’s all.
I own a 2002 Honda CR-V it is shaking bad and riving high I have done some research and it is said that cleaning the throttle body butterfly will help with this problem. In another video though it said not to squirt the throttle body cleaner into the car, squirt it on like a brush or toothbrush and clean the throttle body butterfly that way. Do you have any advice or comments on that? It would be really helpful. I am planning on doing a transmission fluid drain and fill tomorrow Wednesday the latest.
Thank you for watching my video, Allie! My suggestion is to go the safe route and spray TB cleaner onto a cloth or toothbrush first and see how it goes. As you saw in my video, I had no issues spraying it directly into TB. Just make sure you allow enough time for the cleaner to dry/evaporate before starting the engine and driving the car. Let me know how it goes!
I know I saw you did it on your car directly that's why I wanted to ask you your opinion. So, thank you very much. I will be doing that real soon I will let you know how it goes
@@alliemercado3825 I have also done it on my Lexus GX470 and Nissan Xterra, worked really well! You just need to be very gentle with the round flap and not force it. I would also disconnect your battery before doing that as manipulating the TB flap can set your idle to high (1,500rpm). If the battery is off, it should not affect engine idle speed. If your TB is dirty, however, be prepared that your engine would have to adjust/relearn new idle speed as the clean TB flap will shut tighter than when it was dirty thus altering the air/fuel ratio/mixture. This should improve your fuel economy slightly.
@@MaximumDIYGarage Yeah, I saw in a video what to do relearn the new throttled. We had to stop for the day because I live in the central valley and the wind started picking up bad. It was lifting the hood up and it wasn't safe. My Honda transmission fluid came in today though
Hey Maximum DIY Garage can you please help me with something. I am really scared and freaking out. I was cleaning my shift solenoid rods, because I got the same part but from the junk yard since mine was bad on one side. Anyways, I took the rods from the junk yard with that part and I took the rods out of my car when taking out the shift solenoid and now I'm scared and worried that maybe they were supposed to go a certain way. Because another video said to take them out one by one and clean them, but I got another part so I took them out
very nice video
Thank you!!!
where is transmission fluid filter?
It is in the front of the transmission along the cooler lines: ua-cam.com/video/lzwzZg9qfjk/v-deo.html

Thank you for watching and subscribing, Thirdy!
There is an external transmission filter that can be changed too....
Yes, I have seen that. It looks like a fuel filter. I would consider changing that at higher mileage. My old fluid only had 35,000 miles on it and looked good.
No need to take the battery out. Just get a funnel with a long plastic hose on it and it seats fine in the transmission dipstick hole. C'mon man! Work smart, not hard! 🤔
You are correct, Jack! The quick way to refill the trans fluid is just using a long funnel with a hose like you said. I did this to clean under the battery tray, the air filter housing and to demonstrate the location of the key parts with everything out of the way.
@@MaximumDIYGarage I watch alot of Scotty Kilmer's videos. Learned alot from him. 👍👍👍
☘️🍀⭐🌟👍
Tha is for watching, Alonso!
The only thing I would add is please don't over torque the screws going into the air boy and cover. These are plastic parts and easily strip out. I want to shoot the guy who owned my CRV before me.
Good call! I appreciate your advice!
