Hi Great Video and also awesome to have helper. I bought the same filter on Amazon but. Again, they do not come with the correct O-rings, except for the one that fit on the red paper filter. the only two reasons that hold me to this job is not knowing the correct torque for the three 12mm bolts and not having the correct size O-rings. Because i believe once the O-rings goes flat you probably developed or take a chance of the transmission fluid leak from the oil cooler. Also, i have been reading. on other blogs that there is a second main filter on the bottom of the transmission itself. and the purpose of this second small red paper filter is to catch whatever small particles filter in. And according to Honda is not a requirement to change it. that's why Honda does not carry this filter. But everyone who owns a Honda vehicle should change the transmission fluid at least every 15 to 30 thousand miles, or as recommended on your owner manual. Love how you made t look so simple without jacking up your Honda CRV. and great close-up video. By the way I think the transmission drain plug should be torque at 35FTlbs, same torque as the drain and fill plugs for your rear differential. Thanks so much for your great video.
This is just the filter to the transmission cooler. The main filter is accessible by removing the pan. It is just like the old TH200/350 type filters but much smaller.
There are also 2 square magnets installed inside the pan you can only access by removing the pan. The factory pan gasket is metal, I used Honda bond and reused as the rubber gasket supplied was wrong. If you have ANY build up of particulate on drain plug magnet I would change this main filter and clean the internal magnets.
Here are the part numbers for the O-rings, filters, and pan gasket: Honda 91308-5LJ-003 O-Ring (21.8x 1.9), 2015-2021 Honda Honda 25565-5LJ-A01 O-Ring B, 2015-2022 Honda Honda 25564-5LJ-A01 O-Ring A, 2015-2022 Honda Honda 25450-P4V-013, Filter, 1996-2022 Honda 25420-5LJ-003 Strainer Assembly (CVT), 2015-2021 Honda Honda 21814-RJ2-003 Transmission Pan Gasket, 2013-2021 Honda
rob you the man! so many videos on this and not much info! someone needs to make a kit with all parts above. i see so many people just change the small round filter and not the strainer and the o rings are all wrong in most kits! thanks for this info i was able to order all the right parts after a failed first attempt.
@@denisewilcox7653 Great. Also, those parts fit the 10th generation Civic and the 5th generation CRVs with the CVT transmission. I used them on a ‘19 Civic EX and a ‘20 CRV EX.
Bought a 2015 Honda CRV from a friend of mine. He changed the CVT fluid and rear differential around 25k intervals. I'll be changing it the fluid and filters when it reaches 95k miles I have all Honda parts and fluids. But gave the service manager the evil eye when he said filters never needed changing. Wasn't buying off on that. Friend I bought it from never changed the filters. I convinced him after I bought it that needs to be done. He also has a 2017 Civic with a CVT transmission. Bought all parts and fluids online.
@@McDzy After doing a 2019 Civic where I had to remove the air filter box, I would say it was easier from the top, the trouble I had on my 2016 CRV was locating the bolts to remove the battery tray. Next time I probably would remove the battery tray to access from the top. Be sure to order O-rings A and B separately, the ones that are included are the wrong sizes.
Sorry I forgot to mention that if you plan to do this job, its recommended before you uninstalled or remove your battery terminals from your vehicle. To have a battery saver installed just in case you lose your radio and all the settings on your car. Same applies when replacing your old battery and installing a new one. For the radio is good to have your factory radio code.
Honda says no... but you can buy the parts to do the service, so 🤷. I made a video on how to do it, and the comments on it clear up the part numbers for you. So it's your choice. I will say that the filter didn't look bad when I did mine at 130k.
@jjsdiygarage1267 yep thinking about doing the same but it 50/50 lol it look like a pain to change it. Mine 15 crv at 120k miles now. Thank you for making this video.
I did a valve check at 100k miles and they were still perfect. So I did not need to do any adjustments..this was before I was recording videos for you tube, it actually the reason I started making videos
17 accord I change my fluid with Honda oem Dont trust other ones. From Amazon is 70$/5 q Filter no recomended. Yes you can change it.😮 But i dont on my car.
Look up the chemical tests on other (full synthetic) HCF-2 compatible CVT transmission fluids and guess what.. they are all higher quality than the Honda (non synthetic) official stuff.
I just bought the 2016 CRV and want to do the transmission fluid and filter change, but whenever I look for the filter, I see 2 options, the one you show here and another that says "Strainer", so I´m confused. Is the 2016 CVT different from the 2015? What is the Strainer Assembly? I would appreciate if you can help me and guide me towards what I should do to keep the CVT working well. I bought the car with 72K Miles so of course I need to do that change as I can´t trust it has been done before
@@jjsdiygarage1267 the technicians at your local Honda dealership are not the engineers in Japan creating the car. You're only supposed to use Honda OEM CVT fluid
@lazyrider6918 yes honda says to only use Honda H2F CVT fluid...that being said I have changed mine with (valvoline cvt fluid which says equivalent to Honda's) every 40k miles for the entire life of my car, which is at 150k. I say it in the video that you should use Honda stuff if you can find it, and at the end of the day it's your choice.
I got burnt buying a Ford Ranger with a bad transmission but serviced it and used a can of gum cutter before the first flush and got 3 years of pulling heavy loads and pushing a plow before my $1,000 investment snapped in half. Oh yeah, it had been mudding to hide the Swiss Cheese frame too.
Beck/Arnley 044-0383 Auto Transmission Filter, as I said in the video, the o rings do not fit. Filter does fit, and I just re used my o-rings which were in serviceable condition.
great risk of doing it wrong in order to save $200 labor from Honda dealer. Not worth it. Especially the filter. Cheaper fluid only save $25 compared to honda fluid but another big risk to take
very informative in detail , helpful . Thank you Sir and Mam, God bless you all.
Thanks so much for another informative 2015 CRV video for us DIY owners. Keep bringing us these great videos.

Super cool and well done. Cute kid helper. I Don't think people realize how much money this saves everyone! Thank you very much

I would recommend using the Honda fluid. Their transmissions are super picky. There's also a strainer/filter if you drop the transmission pan.

I did mine on my 2016 last night. You were correct, you could get to the bolts from the bottom. Thanks a bunch. 😊😊😊😊
was that a lot easier in your opinion? getting it from the bottom? the 3 bolts for the filter and O rings?

Great stuff! Although I don’t think I have the confidence to do the filter myself (I have valve adjustment coming up), it was nice to see the process.
Thanks, it's really not that bad. Its Definitely good to know your limits though.

Good job and to the videographer too.
I would never put anything other than HCF. Pay the extra money for the peace of mind.
Here are the part numbers for 2016:
Filter
Part No.: 25450-P4V-013
O-Rings
Part No.: 91305-PN4-003
Part No.: 25564-5LJ-A01
Part No.: 25565-5LJ-A01
Thanks
U do infact need to have the check bolt on while filling and take it off each time to check or it runs right out when filling
O-ring part number for the warmer/heat transfer little red filter:
Honda 91305-PN4-003 (37.7x3.5) (Aria) O-ring 1996-2021 Honda
Thanks for the video, very good 👏👏👏
Love your video great job filming too. What is the correct torque on the 3 bolts on the oil cooler.?
The filter is a transmission oil heater for start up colder temps
Do we need change trans filters? I did my drain and fill twice without change the filter.😂

Off-topic but curious if you have done a valve adjustment yet on this 2.4l?
I did a valve check at 100k miles and they were still perfect. So I did not need to do any adjustments..this was before I was recording videos for you tube, it actually the reason I started making videos
@@jjsdiygarage1267 good info. Im at 80k with same great car bought new.
I agree. I’d like to see a video on that too. 😊
HCF2 Honda Vs Valvoline’s product…although both are compatible did you find any noticeable difference?
Not at all, I used Hondas HCF2 during the first fluid change. Then the next change I went to the valvoline.. no change at all
17 accord
I change my fluid with Honda oem
Dont trust other ones.
From Amazon is 70$/5 q
Filter no recomended.
Yes you can change it.😮
But i dont on my car.
Man, are you serious!😳 you put valvo line cvt fluid in a Honda Crv cvt transmission 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Yep, 155k still going strong
Look up the chemical tests on other (full synthetic) HCF-2 compatible CVT transmission fluids and guess what.. they are all higher quality than the Honda (non synthetic) official stuff.
at 200k on orgional filter.
Flip the filter is in the wrong position check the video the gasket has to be inside

I'm sorry, I don't know which one you have.
You could start with a Honda dealer parts department person. Then you get the correct part(s).
Nice
Thanks
according to the honda, they told me that filter is not necessary to change. why would honda say that?
Probably because it's not on a service interval. I don't understand why.
Why not use the Honda ATF as recommended? Honda engineers know best.
Same reason I didn't have honda engineers change the oil haha

How the hell did you take the battery tray out with those 12mm hooks
It was pretty tight, but I got it with a ratcheting wrench.
Off topic, have you done any valve cleaning carbon maintenance on 2015 crv?
I was going to when I went to adjust the valves but they were still pretty clean at 100K so I didn't think the juice was worth a squeeze.
@@jjsdiygarage1267 How exactly did you inspect the condition of the intake valves to check for carbon buildup from the PCV vapors?
@stevemullens7937 you have to pull the intake manifold, which I do not recommend to simply inspect
You're supposed to change AT Fluid? I thought you were just supposed to drive them till they exploded and replace them

Haha, I mean it depends on how you want to spend your money and time really.
yes state to drive them til it blow up, but some people beg the differ
What is the part number of the filter and O-Rings?
Beck/Arnley 044-0383 Auto Transmission Filter, as I said in the video, the o rings do not fit. Filter does fit, and I just re used my o-rings which were in serviceable condition.
Any issues with non Honda trans oil or filter?
Nope

How much is it at a dealership?
