The automatic transmission is the most complex mechanism in any car. Owners of such cars are required to constantly pay attention to its condition. Carry out on time service maintenance, systematically change the ATF and oil filter.

According to the manufacturer's recommendation, replacement of 3 and 1 should be carried out every 30-35 thousand kilometers. But in the conditions of our terrible roads, this period is better to be halved. It is very important if you bought not new car, then do not try to save money, but replace the transmission fluid immediately.

Reasons indicating the need for topping up fluid in the automatic transmission or its complete replacement:

1. Jerking while shifting gears.
2. Kicks when you press the gas pedal.
3. Various kinds of slippage and frequent peregazovki.

What kind of oil and how much

ATF-Z1 is a special mineral gear lubricant for automatic boxes Traditional type Honda. It was used on all cars until 2011 release. ATF-Z1 is unique and recommended for Honda automatic transmissions produced since 1995. Since 2011, cars have been operated on the new ATF-DW1 oil.

Replacing the lubricant mixture in Honda SRV 3 and 1 cars occurs in approximately the same way. The only difference is that the Honda SRV 1 will require 3.5 liters, and the Honda SRV 3 a little over 4 liters. lubricants ATF Z1 (or ATF DW-1).

Tools

• Honda ATF Z1 transmission fluid (or ATF DW-1) - 3.5-4l.
• External cleaning barrier 25430-PLR-003.
• Plug sealing washer automatic box, 18.5 by 25.5 millimeters - 90471-PX4-000.
• Container for draining ATP.
• Jack.

Replacement instructions

There is nothing complicated in changing the oil in Honda SRV 3 and 1 cars, but there are certain nuances:

Video "Changing the lubricant mixture in an automatic transmission on a Honda CRV I"

In this video, an experienced car mechanic will demonstrate the entire process of changing gear lubricant in an automatic gearbox. After viewing it, you can easily service the automatic transmission of your car yourself without wasting time and money.

The material presented by us will allow you to cope with the replacement of the ATF automatic box on your own, but if you have any questions, ask them in the comments.

Now let's talk about replacement honda automatic transmission oils. The most important question is when should you change the oil?

If everything is more or less clear with the engine - the replacement time can be judged either by the mileage or the color of the oil, then in the Honda automatic transmission the oil changes only by mileage. Often, having stopped at a service station with a request to change the oil, a person hears from a pseudo-master, “why do you need to change it, it’s clean and doesn’t smell” ?! Remember: ATF Z1, judging by a drop of oil on the dipstick, does not change color, smell, and consistency until irreversible automatic transmission destruction processes begin.

Drain the cleanest (according to the dipstick), oil, and you will see that in fact it is not so transparent. The special fluid for automatic transmission does not contain special detergent additives, so if the assembly has not begun to wear heavily, it will not blacken much. Slight darkening is acceptable, but black fluid on the dipstick usually indicates that the automatic transmission is asking for a replacement.

That is why two rules should be observed - the first, if the car was serviced constantly by good master, then the replacement of the special fluid is carried out every 30,000 - 35,000 km. In the conditions of the northern regions, it makes sense to reduce the interval to 25,000 - 30,000 km. And the second rule - if you bought a car and don't know when the automatic transmission oil was changed - don't save money and change it right away.

In Russia, there is a terrible tale about the complexity and high cost of changing the fluid in a Honda automatic transmission. At many service stations, huge amounts of liquid (up to 16 liters!), As well as expensive installations for pumping oil under pressure, are prescribed for this harmless process. Paradoxically, but it is this approach that destroys the automatic transmission. The fact is that many craftsmen approach the issue of changing the oil in a Honda automatic transmission from the position of changing the oil in automatic transmissions of other cars, and you and I already know that these boxes are structurally different.

We will try to describe the process of changing the oil in Toyota automatic transmission to make it clear what is the mistake of many masters when approaching Honda. When changing fluid in a Toyota automatic transmission, a special flushing fluid is used, which is certainly useful for automatic transmissions of this brand. Further, in the process of changing the oil, the automatic transmission filter is removed, which can be disposable (it changes) or stationary (reusable, it is cleaned either mechanically or by flushing fluid). The pallet is removed, deposits are washed out, which inevitably settle on the bottom of the pallet, the pallet is put on a new gasket in place. It would seem that everything is simple and clear. But, approaching Honda with the same order of things, we find the following - the box does not have a removable pallet! As a result, it will no longer be possible to clean the pallet from deposits. Then, it turns out that the turbidity raised by the flushing liquid should settle in the filter, which definitely needs to be replaced. And here lies the trick number two - the filter is in the middle of the box, between the two halves of its body, and you can change it only by removing and disassembling the box. Not a single service station in the world will offer you in a sober mind to do this incredibly time-consuming and expensive operation when changing the oil in an automatic transmission.

What is fraught with such an incorrect replacement procedure as a replacement "on the device"? Firstly, the failure of the automatic transmission filter. A filter clogged with deposits simply does not allow liquid to pass through itself, creating enormous oil pressure at the inlet, while there is simply no pressure at the outlet. Of course, being in such a position, hydraulic system boxes simply can not withstand the loads, and fails. The most common symptom of a breakdown in this case is the inability to move the car from a place when the selector lever is D4. As a rule, the car roars like a wounded animal, but cannot move. Sometimes, it happens, it starts moving, but at 3000 rpm. In fact, this means the death of the automatic transmission, in which case a very expensive and lengthy repair is required, which is sometimes equal to half the cost of the car. How to avoid it? It is necessary to change the oil in the automatic transmission correctly, and we will describe below how to do it correctly.

Good day to all! In this article, you will learn how partial replacement oil in automatic transmission Honda SRV. First, as usual, a little theory.

automatic transmission is one of the most demanding parts modern cars. At the same time, automatic transmission is one of the most expensive car components. Therefore, in order to avoid costly repair or replacement of the machine, it is required to operate and maintain it correctly. The most significant procedure is the ATF replacement. We'll talk about this today.

When is an oil change required in a Honda SRV automatic transmission?

An oil change in a Honda SRV machine is required after 30,000 km of run. However, if you are using the vehicle in difficult conditions, then it is best to shorten this period. Severe operating conditions in this case refers to the frequent towing of trailers, other cars, or driving high revs, frequent wheel slip, etc. If you purchased a used car and doubt when the fluid in the box was last changed, then it is also better not to delay the replacement. Also, if you notice jerks or delays when shifting gears, then the first step is to change the ATF.

What oil is required to replace a Honda SRV automatic transmission?

For automatic transmissions HONDA CR-V requires oil standard or. The latter liquid is a more modern option. However, both liquids are compatible and mix perfectly with each other without any consequences. For a partial replacement, about 4 liters of ATF will be required.

What tools or fixtures will be required?

To change the oil in an automatic transmission Honda SRV, we need a standard set of tools, namely:

1. 10" square wrench.

2. Funnel with extension hose.
3. Clean cloth, napkin or rag.
4. Capacity for mining, preferably with a measuring scale to measure the volume of drained oil.
5. The easiest carb cleaner.
6. Sealing washer for drain plug.

The progress of work on changing the oil in the automatic transmission Honda SRV

1. The first step is to measure the oil level in the box. This is done in the following way. The engine warms up to operating temperature, after which the car is placed on a flat surface. We turn off the engine and wait 1-2 minutes. Then we pull out the probe (it is located between the battery and the case air filter) and look at the current level. It should be at the point farthest from the end of the probe. If the level is lower, then note for yourself that you will need to fill in a little more oil than was drained.

2. After that, we remove the probe to the side and turn it off with a square drain plug. First, simply tear off the cork, remove the key to the side and unscrew the cork by hand to the end. Keep a container for testing on hand right away. It is important not to drop the cork into the container for the old ATP, and also not to burn your hands with oil, as it will be hot.

3. When the mining has stopped flowing, we measure the volume of the drained oil. Should be about 3-3.5 liters.

4. We process the drain plug with a carburetor cleaner. The point is that on this car a special magnet is built into the drain plug, which collects fine dust and chips that form during the operation of the box.

5. We take a new sealing ring and wrap the drain plug in place. Do not overdo it so as not to strip the thread.

6. Insert the hose into the dipstick hole and pour exactly the same amount of oil into the automatic transmission through the funnel as was drained. Have you measured the right amount? If not, then don't forget to do so.

7. Insert the probe into place and start the engine. We are waiting for it to warm up to operating temperature. We sit in the passenger compartment and with the brake pedal pressed, turn on all the positions of the automatic transmission one by one. We do everything with a slight delay of 3-5 seconds in each position. Then turn off the engine and check the oil level in the box. It should be at the top of the dipstick. If the oil level is low, add the correct amount.

Important! Do not pour oil into the box! If you accidentally filled in more than required, then pump out the excess amount with a conventional medical dipstick.

8. After a few kilometers, check the level again. He must not change.

Everything! This completes the oil change procedure in the Honda SRV automatic transmission. In time, the whole work takes about 30-40 minutes. By completing this procedure yourself, you can save on work in the service. The cost of everything will be equivalent to the cost Supplies, namely transmission fluid.

Changing the oil in an automatic transmission Honda SRV is one of those mandatory procedures, without which the car is subjected to rapid wear. Despite the fact that the Honda CR-V is positioned as a reliable budget crossover with the makings of an SUV, its units are not eternal and require constant attention from the owner. And the "automatic" box is the most capricious mechanism in the car.

Transmission oil change interval

Most often, Russian motorists are faced with the procedure for changing the oil in the MR4A automatic box on a Honda SRV 3 car. This modification, produced from 2007 to 2011, won recognition from many compatriots. Even a high-quality original "transmission" with mileage loses its working properties and no longer copes with its tasks.

Over time, the automatic transmission of the Honda crossover begins to behave capriciously and this manifests itself in the form of symptoms:

• peregazovka during gear changes;
• jolts with the accelerator pedal depressed;
• slippage during start;
• with speed change.

This interval also applies to other modifications of the model. For those who are accustomed to driving in speed mode or load the transmission off-road, change the fluid more frequently.

The car owner can change the transmission oil for the Honda CR-V 2 on their own without resorting to the help of specialists. However, without a specialized tool and disassembly of the gearbox, drain lubricating fluid completely fail. Therefore, with his own hands, the car owner can only make a partial replacement.

What oil is better to choose in an automatic transmission for a Honda SRV 2?

When changing the oil in an automatic transmission on a Honda SRV 2, the focus is on choosing a new lubricant. Buy it in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for maintenance car.

It is not recommended to fill in other analogues in the Honda SRV 2 automatic transmission. This is due to high thermal loads on the transmission, due to which the oil boils. As a result, the gearbox fails after 30-50 thousand kilometers.

When do you need to change the automatic transmission oil on a Honda CR-V 2?

A separate aspect is the frequency of oil changes in automatic transmissions in the Honda CR-V 2. There are several common indicators to which attention is paid when solving this issue:

• indicators from the manufacturer - according to them, you need to change the lubricant in the transmission every 50 thousand kilometers;
• Russian operating conditions of the car - taking into account them, the service life of the lubricating fluid is reduced to 20-40 thousand km;
• individual conditions of use - depending on these factors, the overall indicator may also be reduced.

K p personal factors, reducing the service life of the filled lubricant include:

• driving speed and aggressive driving;
• frequency and duration of trips around the city;
• frequent stops, turns;
• road surface, slip, slip, pits;
• additional loads, lifting, towing trailers;
• climatic conditions, annual temperature fluctuations.

Taking into account these aspects, it is recommended to identify the frequency of changing the oil in the gearbox at the individual level. For this, attention is paid to preventive checks, during which the volume of lubricant is measured and its appearance is evaluated.

Signs of a need for replacement gear oil include a change in its color and density, the appearance of a smell of burning, impurities, sediment. These factors indicate a loss of lubricating properties, which can soon lead to automatic transmission malfunctions.

Some car owners also include transmission failures as signs of an expired lubricant. Switching inconsistency, extraneous sounds, shocks and vibrations - all this indicates not only the need to change the oil, but also the relevance of diagnosing the transmission system by specialists.

It is not recommended to wait for breakdowns in the gearbox - this unit is considered one of the most difficult in a car and its repair will be quite expensive. At the first suspicion of poor-quality oil operation, it is replaced prophylactically. In this case, even a partial drain and refill will avoid costly repairs in the future.

Replacement process

Changing the oil in an automatic transmission of a Honda SRV 2 with your own hands begins with the process training. During it prepare necessary tools, buy consumables, choose a place to work.

The specifics of the Honda CR-V 2 assembly does not allow removing the pan, also when self replacement oils do not change the filter. This is due to the need to disassemble the gearbox, which should not be done in the absence of skills and knowledge.

On the preparatory stage check the system for faulty connections, purchase replacement parts for them. Usually, during the prophylaxis, along with the oil, the drain plug washer must be changed, if the bolt is damaged, it is also changed.

To work with the replacement of lubricant and components, you will need a flat space with convenient access to the main components of the system. The possibility of using a flyover, a repair pit or a lift is emphasized. In their absence, a jack with supports will do.

In the process of work, attention is paid to compliance safety precautions. The vehicle must be locked securely for the owner. Some, as an additional precaution, remove the minus from the battery.

Also pay attention to the high temperature of the drained lubricant and its toxicity. In the process of work, rubber gloves are used, unnecessary containers are prepared to collect the liquid, preventing mining from entering the soil.

List of tools for changing the oil in the automatic transmission of Honda CRV 2 includes the following accessories:

• a set of keys and screwdrivers, gates with socket heads;
• clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, lint-free rags, rubber gloves;
• capacity from 4 liters for collecting mining;
• new oil, a washer for a drain plug, if necessary, and other components to replace worn parts.

Given the impossibility of carrying out a complete oil change on your own, the procedure is carried out at a partial level. To increase the efficiency of the process, the general procedure is repeated - this increases oil consumption, however, it allows you to better clean the system from the remnants of the waste fluid.

Draining old oil from the tank

Draining oil from an automatic transmission on a Honda SRV 2 is carried out according to the following procedure:

• warm up the engine, circulating the lubricating fluid;
• uncork the filler neck in the engine compartment;
• find a drain plug from below, substitute a container under it;
• uncork the drain, allow the liquid to drain into the prepared container.

It usually drains up to 3.5 liters, the amount is determined using a measuring canister. According to the value obtained, the volume of oil for filling is measured in the future. If time permits, allow the working to cool for a more accurate value.

Pan flushing and chip removal

In the Honda CR-V 2, the pan is not removable, which to some extent complicates the process of draining and flushing. Given this factor, the emphasis is on cleaning the entire system.

The flushing procedure involves refilling the oil at various intervals. Some do it immediately after the engine warms up, others after several hundred kilometers.

Such cleaning of the transmission involves the following actions:

• drain the old lubricating fluid, fill in a new one in its place;
• let the car work, it’s better to drive for a while;
• drain new grease as used, fill with fresh.

The process can be repeated several times until the drained liquid remains sufficiently clean. This method increases the required amount of purchased oil to 15 liters.

Flushing removes residues of used grease and sediment from the system. Including cost complete replacement for specialists, this option, even with additional costs for oil, is cheaper for the driver.

Filling in new oil

Filling oil in an automatic transmission of a Honda SRV 2 does not involve complex actions. After draining and washing, they clean the drain hole and plug, change the washer, and, if necessary, the bolt itself. The system is clogged, the tightness of the connection is checked.

A new fluid is poured into the filler neck, through which the level of transmission lubricant is checked. If the volume was measured by the uncooled mining, it is recommended not to top up a little.

Then the engine is warmed up for several minutes with all gears shifted. After warming up, measure the oil level, top up or pump out if necessary. In a heated and cooled state, the volume of lubricant should not exceed the allowable limits indicated on the dipstick.
