Use Honda DPF od DPFII, there is no aftermarket alternative. Also, if the vehicle you are looking at is automatic, change the ATF as well. Use Honda ATF Z-1 only, there is no substitute. Brake fluid needs to be changed every 3 years, regardless of mileage. You can use Honda DOT3, or quality DOT 3 fluid. I prefer using Honda fluids in all of my Hondas. I do all my own maintenance, it is not difficult. A couple of jackstands, an SUV jack and a set of tools is all one would need. Helm Inc publishes the official shop manual for Honda, and sells them to the public. It is great for DIYer!!!! It has all the specs and detailed diagrams. If the CR-V you are looking at has the original Dueler H/T tires they are way past their useful life. When looking at tires, you should buy all 4 at the same time, as the AWD system is activated by the difference in rotation velocity between front and rear wheel. Different tires may or may not set it off and cause binding, overheating, and/or failure. I am just curious what you would consider a good deal on a 2005 CR-V EX AWD (I would assume) with 29,000 miles? |

Replying to: isellhondas (Jun 26, 2009 6:12 am) You're assuming that oil at 7500 miles offers significantly less protection than at 4000. Why not change hte oil at 1000 then? Why is 3000 OK and 2000 too short??? The reality is 3000 miles itnervals were originally used as a standard for older cars with inferior engine seals, piston rings, incomplete combustion, among other issues. On top of that, oil quality and performance has improved dramatically. All mfg's recommed at least 5000 and most 7500 or even 10,000 unless it's "severe" duty, where the engine spnds a lot of time idling (taxis, police cars, commercial use) or at high RPM's (towing).

I am fighting to have my 2006 Honda CR-V repaired. My differential is also making noise. The dealership in Co Springs; Front Range Honda, told me that I needed to change the differential fluid at 10,000 miles and since I didn't have it changed then I basically breeched my warrenty and now I have to pay for any repairs!! What a lie! I have called Am Honda Motor Co., Inc and they just repeated what the dealership told me! Can you believe this!? I even told them that my manual states that 90,000 miles or 5 years is the recommeded time for changing differential fluid and they still tell me that it should have been done at 10,000 miles!!! I am so angry that they are talking to me like this. I can't believe that they keep telling me this outright lie to my face! I am fighting a fight but who do I call now? Help - I'm pulling my hair out!:-

Help - I'm pulling my hair out!:- Call Honda corporate and explain that if they did not issue an ammended manual with the 10,000 mile intervals they are violating FTC regulations and can be subject to sanctions.
