Great video. Some details that I would suggest adding to the text description. Refill capacity is 1.3 L not 1.5L. The 1.5L is a dry first time fill. People may be worried they can't fit 1.5L with a drain and fill. Both fill and drain plugs use a 20mm crush washer and torque spec is 35 Ft-Lbs
Hi Dan good tutorial might have a go on my 2008 Honda CRV Exec , Not done this before but my local Garage wants £ 150.00 UK Pounds to do this which I think is a bit Steep .Thanks Pal
I see two different fluids on Amazon one being the two pump fluid in your video and another being vtm 4 differential fluid. Is there a difference? As the other is 1 gallon
Thank you for your reply. I have recently changed myself the engine oil on my Honda CRV 2007, and I have a few spare washers. Thank for telling me that it is not fitting to the differential. I will order new washers for the differential.
Easy Peasy👍 Just like My ol 80 Gmc 4x4! Do you just torque both plugs (Drain and Fill) as i Do My ol Truck? I’m yet to find a torque spec for the Differential 🤷♂️ And the Book Says: Take To The Dealer For Service😳😜 Seriously🙄🤷♂️ Someone is Hungry💰😂 Thanks for The Video!!! I’m just going to torque by “Feel” 🤷♂️👍
@@encoreone...Thanks, I've seen a few videos of this procedure and how difficult it is (most of the time) to loosen those bolts, either the dealership or owners must be over tightening...if they rust in place maybe a good coating of heavy grease after fluid change would help? I've seen more than one video where they have to use an extension to get enough leverage. And anyone reading this... ALWAYS loosen the top (fill bolt) FIRST!
I have a 2007 honda crv ex awd Ive been hearing some clunking noise when i turn and reverse turn . I changed all the mounts including the rear differential mount stiil having the issue i changed the differential fluid still hearing the issue . I see that alot of people are having the same problems and they go to the honda dealer and just replace the fluid again and still doing the noise . Anyone knows what can i be the problem?
For FWD (not 4WD or AWD) 2011 CRV, do I still need to change the rear differential fluid? Also when you need to change the rear differential fluid, if you put the car in Reverse gear and driving the CRV backward, would it make a hissing sound? Thanks!

@@an0maly_006 the fluid change must be done when the differential is warm
Your vids are straight to the point, easy to understand, with no fluff. Love it. Subbed!
Excellent video, saved me $600 dollars at the mechanic for $30 worth of fluid and pump!
Thanks Dan. Great tutorial. You have given me the confidence to try this on my 2009 CRV.
Ditto. How did yours come out
@@frankrodriguez4334 sad to say it completely exploded in the process
Fantastic video. Very concise and informative. Thank you. Just one bit of information, could you tell us the size of the hose?
I've always wondered why the two plugs aren't the same size.

Glad I watched. Almost put VTM-4 into my daughter's CRV. Not the same.
Thanks my brother great video
Thank you you know what you are talking

Yes, VTM-4 is a completely different fluid used on some generations of Pilots.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Great video
thanks for the video, am i correct in thinking that you broke the bolts open in opposite directions?
No, they're all regular thread.
Hi.
Very useful video.
Can you tell me please if the washer from this differential bolt is going to fit to the oil drain pan bolt as well?
Thank you.
No, it's a different size.
Thank you for your reply.

Great video. Can this be done without lifting car?
If you're skinny enough.
cool, thank you
Thank you !

Thanks for The Video!!!
I’m just going to torque by “Feel” 🤷♂️👍
Torque spec is 35 lb ft, but I've always just gone by feel. I have seen someone strip one out and have to replace the whole unit though.
@@MechanicalMalarkey
Thanks
I just go by “feel” myself yet i wouldn’t want to replace the entire unit because i didn’t get my torque wrench out 🤷♂️😊👍
Thanks 👍
Hi, my 07 CRV makes a rumbling noise when turning the wheel toward full lock. Could this be the problem? Needs oil change?
Had a car making noise. Differential oil needed replacement and it fixed it
mine it's a 2008 crv 4x4, how much differential fluid needs?
A bit over 1 quart, so start putting in the second quart until it overflows.
Manual gear would do right?
Or ATF??
You should use the fluid Honda says you should use, which is Honda Dual Pump fluid.
awesome :)
What's the torque specification for those 2 bolts?
47nm or 35lb

It could be a problem with the differential gears themselves.
For me. It was the axles starting to pop out. I just pushed them back in and it was noticeably quieter
Probably a failing CV axle
Is this a rear wheel drive car?
It's all wheel drive.
Technically this is a 4wd car, not AWD, but any 4wd or AWD car will have a rear differential. A FWD car will not have one.
For FWD (not 4WD or AWD) 2011 CRV, do I still need to change the rear differential fluid? Also when you need to change the rear differential fluid, if you put the car in Reverse gear and driving the CRV backward, would it make a hissing sound? Thanks!
There is no rear differential on a front wheel drive car.
Size of the washers?
20mm
You think because of just finished kids
