I tried to access the service bulletin on your post but couldn't. Is there anyway to get a copy of this? My 2007 AWD CR-V has the grinding noise/vibration when backing up and turning the wheel at 16000 miles. My maintence minder says I need to change the fluid but I can't find any information on what is the reccomended interval between changes. It looks like Honda has found a way to put the problem on the customer using the maintence minder. The dealership is more than happy to ding me $50 for a fluid change but now that I have the grinding noise, we'll see what they do. This is my first Honda and I am not impressed!

The tech at the dealer showed me the severe service schedule (fyi, according to the tech city driving = severe driving) for the '02-'06 CR-V which recommends changing the fluid every 30k.

Replying to: stringfellow63 (Sep 19, 2007 10:03 am) And the OWNER's MANUAL describes what constitutes NORMAL and SEVERE schedule. And, yes, city driving is SEVERE. 95% of the population in the US will fall under SEVERE schedule due to the numerous facts included in the SEVERE description in the OWNER's MANUAL. BTW, the OWNER's MANUAL recommends 60,000 rear differential fluid interval for SEVERE schedule.

Replying to: stevedebi (Sep 20, 2007 9:32 am) I ended up changing my 2003 differential fluid about every 20K miles. I did this because the rear end was making noise; changing out the fluid fixed the problem. I don't doubt. Realistically, the fluid is probably onle capable of withstanding 15,000 miles of AWD use. And that is the exact mileage when I changed mine, well before it started making noise. Replaced MTF as well. I was just stating that people who don't read their OWNER's MANUAL are at the dealer's mercy when it comes to the dealer BSing their way out of covering it under warranty. I don't know what the hang up is about Reading The Farking Manual. It is not like too much knowledge has killed anyone. Besides, it is much better to know exactly how to take care of your $20,000+ toy than seeing who the "Big loser" is this week, or whatever TV program is interfiering with the Owner's reading duties.
