Replying to: phisher (Jun 02, 2008 10:45 am) It's very thick, and lasts longer than engine oil. It's usually 75w90 or 80w90 in these rigs. Each 30k is plenty, even 60k is OK if that's what Honda calls for. Any how, I found the pics, this guy did a great job documenting all the fluid changes for a Miata, I'm sure the CR-V's rear diff is similar: http://www.miata.net/garage/trans/13.htm

The market has accepted the CR-V as a reasonable alternative to those true SUVs, hence the boom in compact crossovers. RAV4 was up, too. Forester was up 66% compared to last year, but it is a new model. |

| Hey, thanks for your input. Can't understand if there is problem why it should not be a easy fix... as they say in C hi.(forget about it!) | |
| Hey THANKS FOR THE INPUT. WONDER WHY HONDA DOES NOT JUST FIX THIS IF THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD NOT BE THAT BIG A DEAL, AND PR WISE MOVE. | |

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 02, 2008 11:09 am) The "differential fluid" in the CR-V is actually a dual pump fluid. It has very different rheology that gear oil. It is very thin and runny. It is designed the provide hydraulic pressure when there is a pressure differential between the engine driven pump and the wheel pump. If there is a difference in pressure, the fluid activates the clutch pack and engages the rear end. Most of the time it is just circulated through the system, freely. A thicker fluid would probably result in lower fuel economy, and possible unpredictable rear end engagement.
