Hello, I'm new here. I have a 2002 CR-V that's approaching 100k miles. To be honest, we've not kept up on the maintenance very well.

For now my list is:

1. Oil change (Mobile-1 10W30)
2. New oil filter
3. New spark plugs
4. I was thinking of running seafoam through the intake via a vacuum hose. I've seen this done on other cars with good results. Will this help with the CR-V?

Is there anything else I should do at this point in the car's life? Timing belt? Other filters? I'm fairly mechanically inclined having worked on our other car which is a 1997 BMW that needed A LOT of work done to it (head gasket, suspension, etc.).

Thanks in advance for your advice!

 

Timing Belt and tensioner

Wrong

Just change the oil, trans fluid, rear diff fluid (if it's AWD), cabin air filters and the engine air filter.

 

Yes it's the AWD model... is the trans fluid and diff fluid difficult to change? Does the trans have a filter I need to replace?

I also noticed there seems to be an oil leak from the passenger side of the front transaxle, right where the axle leaves the transmission... I wonder if I can DIY that or take it somewhere?

Thanks again for the helpful info!
