hi guys, long time honda owner, first time CR-V owner, i also own a 92 prelude and absolutely love the thing!

this is now my new winter/DD car its a 1998 automatic

i just gave it a tune up, included spk plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, pcv, injector clean, intake clean, distributor cap and rotor, oil change, and transmission fluid change.

how many qts of "dual pump fluid" does the rear end take?

MY MAIN QUESTION is there any recall's. service bulletins, or very common things that break on these that should be fixed soon?

 

cool V you got there!!

the dealer told me to get(sold) me two bottles/quarts for our rear differential..
i only used dual pupm fluid from honda, no other fluid will work on it,
thats what has been discussed in some forums..

good luck!

you have to drain out the dif fluid, add 1.5 quarts of the honda dual pump fluid and drive it around for a few miles makeing lots of turns and then drain it back out again and put in 1.5 quarts. this is what i did and my honda mech buddy told me to do it this way
