hello
my daughter bought a a 05 crv for a commuter car. the transmission fluid looks dark red and needs to be changed. what brand fluid can we use on it? is it only the Honda ATF DW-1? can we anything else?
im also going to change rear differential as well. At work we do have a transmission flush machine. maybe i will use it. also how hard is to replace transmission filter?
thanks

 

There is an inline filter to the oil cooler that is easy to change but has no service interval. Then there is the internal to the transmission filter that requires splitting the transmission housing to change.

DW1 for the transmission, Dual Pump Fluid II for the rear end.

Check out Aisin fluids, they seem to be the OEM supplier but I can't confirm that.

 

Not that easy actually....very messy it can be.
