The 2003 Honda CR-V is available with both manual and automatic transmission options. Depending on the type of transmission in your vehicle, you will need different fluids and capacities. For manual transmission vehicles, you will need 4.0 pints of Honda's specific manual transmission fluid, part number 08798-9031. Automatic transmission models require 3.3 quarts of DEXRON-VI ATF for the initial fill and 7.6 quarts for a complete fill. Regularly checking and changing your transmission fluid is essential, especially in older vehicles, to prevent damage from occurring. It is recommended to check the fluid level every 5,000 miles and change it every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Low transmission fluid is the primary cause of overheating transmissions, which can result in expensive repairs or replacements. Given that the cost of replacing the transmission in the '03 CR-V is now higher than the vehicle's value, it is crucial to maintain proper fluid levels to keep it running smoothly.

Hey William K... Isn't it irritating when people who aren't qualified provide inaccurate information? Just to clarify, the question is about the capacity of the transmission, not what's required for a drain and fill, which is between 3.1 to 3.7 quarts. The true capacity of the whole transmission is actually around 8 quarts.
