The 2016 Honda CR-V comes with a 2.5 liter 4-cylinder engine paired with a CVT automatic transmission that requires 3.9 quarts of HCF-2 CVT fluid. It is recommended to have a transmission flush and filter change done every 30,000-50,000 miles, with fluid levels checked at 120 degrees transmission temperature. To perform the flush, place a drain pan beneath the vehicle and transmission, then use an 18mm socket to remove the transmission drain plug while the engine is running and allow the fluid to drain out. Darker or blacker fluid indicates the need for a flush and replacement. It's important to ensure the vehicle is on a level surface for proper draining. The average cost for a transmission flush and filter change for a Honda CR-V falls between $115 and $130 for both materials and labor.
Type H ATF, in a 1-quart container, is the specific transmission fluid required for the 2016 Honda CRV.
