The most massive Honda external filter for automatic transmissions. Began to be installed on Honda cars at the end of 2001. Such a filter is on the Honda Civic 7 (only on the variator), 8 and 9 generations, Honda SRV 2, 3, 4 and 5 generations, Honda Accord 7, 8 and 9 generations and many others. As you can see, demand creates supply, and our Chinese friends produce huge quantities of counterfeits for this filter. Let's take a look at one of them.
The appearance does not arouse any special suspicion. Those who are very attentive may notice a slight difference in the type of writing. The packaging and the label are very well done. On this you can forget about the good.
The counterfeit filter is lighter. They couldn't even do it.
1. There is always a mark on the inlet side of the original filter. Such a factory feature is available from Toyo Roki and their American subsidiary Filtech. It is these firms that produce this filter.
2. The color of the metal of fakes is always yellowish. The paint is uneven. The metal is much thinner. They even differ in shape.
3. The date of manufacture of the filter and the date it was packaged are shown on the filter itself and on the labels.
Original production date: 7В27 = 17 years, February, 27 days
Original packing date: 7С09 = 17 years, March, 9 days.
Counterfeit date of manufacture: 4B27 = 14 February, 27 days
Counterfeit packing date: 4C13 = 14 year March 13 day.
Fake details are often written as the 46th day or nonexistent month. Their release years, as a rule, lag behind by 3-4 years. Or vice versa for 1-2 years ahead. You can see how to determine the release date on this page.
In a fake filter, the amount of the filter element is much less, and so that the cartridge does not dangle, it is supported by a spring.
And this is where the fun begins. The filters are sawn in one place, and their designs are very different.
1. The bypass valve on the original is on the inlet side, but on the counterfeit it is upside down.
To make it clearer what this valve is for, we made this picture. Under normal conditions, oil along the outer wall enters the filter element, passes through it and enters the automatic transmission already cleaned. In the event that the oil is very thick (in extreme frost) or if the filter element is completely clogged, the oil passes through this bypass valve.
The filter is specially made asymmetrical. This is the so-called foolproofing. So that when installing it could not be put backwards. And so that the valve is always on the inlet side.
But on a fake, this valve was put upside down. The Chinese did not begin to think about what the valve is for and how the liquid circulates in no way.
For the sake of purity of experiments, we still decided to show how much paper is in a fake.
The filter element on a fake is not only smaller in height, but also its diameter is noticeably smaller than the original. Which ultimately gives a significantly smaller filtration area.
Well, as usual. How the original and the fake glow in ultraviolet light.
1. The original has two luminescent marks. The letter "H" glows brightly, the letter "N" seems to be half-glowing.
The fake all glows like ordinary paper.
This original filter 25430-PLR-003 you can buy and install in our technical center.
The fourth generation Honda CR-V is a compact Japanese SUV that is very popular in Russian market... The car is well demanded with an automatic transmission, which provides comfort in the city and ease of operation. But in order for the transmission to always please its owner, it must be serviced in a timely manner. Fortunately, some procedures with this automatic transmission can be performed independently. For example, change the oil in the box. This procedure does not require professional skills. For this, a set of hand tools, as well as special materials, will be sufficient. Let's consider in detail how to change the oil in a Honda CR-V 4 automatic transmission.
When to change the oil?
The transmission fluid in the automatic transmission changes depending on the mileage. The manufacturer claims that under favorable conditions, the replacement schedule is 40-50 thousand kilometers. But in harsh operating conditions, the replacement frequency is strongly recommended to be reduced to 30 thousand km. In extreme cases, you have to change the factory oil for the first time after 15 thousand kilometers, and when buying a used car, you need to change the oil right away - this is more reliable, safer, and more confidence that the box will last as long as possible.
Should I rinse the box?
Definitely worth it. Over time, the oil loses its lubricating properties, and is no longer able to cool the internal components of the gearbox, which as a result overheat and wear out quickly. At the same time, dirt deposits and metal shavings accumulate inside the box as a result of mechanical wear of the parts.
Please note that some configurations of the Honda CR-V are not equipped with a removable sump, so a lot of dirt quickly accumulates in the gearbox. All this mud also clogs the oil filter, which also has to be changed.
If you do not pay attention to these problems for a long time, sooner or later the gearbox will become unusable. Even in dealership may refuse to undertake the repair of the checkpoint, and will advise to replace the box with a new one. Therefore, you need to check and change the oil regularly, at least every 20 thousand km.
Partial oil change
This procedure is considered the most common, since it does not take much time, and it is quite enough for the gearbox to serve throughout the entire operation of the car.
What to upload?
The most the right oil for automatic transmission Honda CR-V 4th generation ATF fluid DW1. Alternatively, you can also recommend ATF Z1.
Replacement materials
- Tools, wrenches and heads
- Rags, gloves
- New oil
- New oil filter
- Container for draining old oil
Sequence of work
- The engine is warming up, the car is parked on the overpass. Alternatively, a flyover or observation pit will do.
- Let the engine run for minutes, turn off, then open the hood and measure the level of the remaining oil in the automatic transmission
- The crankcase must be removed at a suitable location under the underside of the vehicle to gain access to the oil filter to be replaced. Also in this place there is a drain plug, it must be unscrewed and the waste liquid must be drained into a prepared pan. This must be done with care as hot oil can cause burns. Please note that the drain plug (for draining the oil) is unscrewed using a 3/8 square
- Wait until the oil is completely drained from the automatic transmission. About 3.5 liters of old oil should come out.
- Metal shavings and dirt may remain on the drain plug, it must be cleaned with a special WD-40 compound. In addition, there is an aluminum washer in the cork, it should also be replaced with a new one.
- Reinstall the plug and start filling with new gear oil. This requires a hose or funnel. Alternatively, a special syringe will do. A hose should be connected to it, which, in turn, should be inserted into the filler neck, after removing the dipstick from it. Please note that the new fluid must be poured as much as the old oil has flowed out.
- It is better to underfill the oil a little than to pour it over. You can top it up later, after starting the engine. Then a control measurement is made, and the liquid is topped up as needed. Some masters believe that the oil should be at a level between the Max and Min marks on the dipstick - this is considered the most optimal level.
- After a week, the liquid level can be measured again
Changing the oil in the automatic transmission Honda SRV is one of those mandatory procedures, without which the car is subject 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 do not last forever, and require constant attention from the owner. And the automatic transmission 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. 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 can no longer cope 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:
- re-gasification during gear changes;
- jerks when the accelerator pedal is depressed;
- slipping during the start;
- with a change in speed.
This interval also applies to other modifications of the model. For those who are used to driving a car in high-speed mode or load the transmission off-road, the fluid should be changed more frequently.
Good day to all! From this article you will learn how a partial oil change is performed in an 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, the automatic transmission is one of the most expensive parts of a car. Therefore, in order to avoid costly repair or replacement of the machine, it must be properly operated and maintained. The most significant procedure is ATF replacement. We will 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 to be performed after 30,000 km. However, if you use the car in difficult conditions, then it is best to shorten this period. In this case, severe operating conditions mean frequent towing of trailers, other cars, or driving on high revs, frequent wheel slip, etc. If you bought a used car and are in doubt about the last time the fluid in the box was changed, then it is also better not to delay with the replacement. Also, if you notice jerks or delays when changing gears, then you must first change the ATF.
What oil is required to replace a Honda SRV automatic transmission?
HONDA CR-V automatic transmissions require oil of standard or. The last liquid is over modern version... However, both liquids are compatible and mix well with each other without any consequences. For a partial replacement, you will need about 4 liters of ATF.
What tool or attachments will you need?
To change the oil in the automatic transmission Honda SRV, we need a standard set of tools, namely:
1. 10 "square wrench.
2. Funnel with extension hose.
3. A clean cloth, napkin or rag.
4. A container for working off, preferably with a graduated scale, to measure the volume of the drained oil.
5. The simplest carburetor cleaner.
6. Sealing washer for the drain plug.
The progress of oil change in automatic transmission Honda SRV
1. The first step is to measure the oil level in the box. This is done as follows. The engine warms up to operating temperature, after which the vehicle is parked on a flat surface. We turn off the engine and wait 1-2 minutes. Then we take 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 stylus. If the level is lower, then mark for yourself that you need to fill in a little more oil than it was drained.
2. After that, remove the dipstick to the side and unscrew the drain plug with a tetrahedron. First, we just rip off the plug, remove the key to the side and turn the plug to the end with our hand. Keep a waste container close at hand. It is important not to drop the cork into the container for the old ATP, and also not to burn your hands with the oil, as it will be hot.
3. When the development has stopped flowing, we measure the volume of the drained oil. Should be about 3-3.5 liters.
4. We treat the drain plug with a carburetor cleaner. The fact is that on this car, a special magnet is built into the drain plug, which collects fine dust and shavings that are formed during the operation of the box.
5. Take a new O-ring and wrap the drain plug in place. Do not overdo it so as not to rip the threads.
6. Insert the hose into the dipstick hole and fill the automatic transmission with exactly the same amount of oil through the funnel as it was drained. Have you measured the right amount? If not, then don't forget to do it.
7. Insert the dipstick into place and start the engine. We are waiting for it to warm up to operating temperature. We sit in the salon and, with the brake pedal pressed, turn on all the automatic transmission positions one by one. We do everything with a slight delay of 3-5 seconds in each position. Then we turn off the engine and check the oil level in the box. It should be at the top mark on the dipstick. If the oil level is lower, add the correct amount.
Important! Do not pour oil into the box! If you accidentally poured more than required, then pump out the excess amount with a conventional medical probe.
8. After a few kilometers, check the level again. He shouldn't change.
Everything! This completes the procedure for changing the oil in the automatic transmission Honda SRV. In time, all the 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 equal to the cost Supplies, namely the transmission fluid.
We also invite you to watch a video of changing the Honda SRV 3 oil in the automatic transmission, in which everything is described and shown in detail.
Thank you for your attention and see you soon on our website!
The Honda CR-V has been produced since 1995. In Europe and America, the abbreviation CR-V stands for Compact Recreational Vehicle - a compact recreational vehicle. The car quickly won the sympathy of the owners due to its reliability, comfortable salon, good driving characteristics, economy. The 4th generation of the crossover is currently on sale. In our country, the abbreviation CR-V was Russified as SRV or CRV. The number after the name indicates the generation of the model. The car is quite easy to maintain, many operations are available to the owner of the crossover. For example, a motorist can change the oil in a Honda SRV 3 or 4, 2, 1 box without any problems - both in mechanical and automatic (automatic transmission).
When to change the oil in the Honda SRV box
Starting with the first generation SRV models, Honda's transmissions included an automatic transmission option. At first, these were four-stage boxes, then five-stage automatic machines appeared on some of the second-generation crossovers. On the third and fourth car models, automatic transmissions are only 5-speed. In total, more than 10 modifications of automatic transmissions were created for the SRV. However, they are all similar in design, and are practically the same in service. The specificity of Honda automatic transmissions is that they differ in the design of the mechanical part from most types of automatic machines from other manufacturers. Usually, behind the torque converter in the automatic transmission, there is a mechanics built on planetary gearboxes.
Honda went its own way and adopted a multi-shaft gearbox similar to conventional manual transmissions. Each pair of gears on the shafts implements one of the gearbox stages, is connected by an individual multi-plate "wet" clutch, which are lubricated with transmission fluid under pressure. The clutch discs, which are not currently engaged in gears, rotate freely relative to each other. The distance between them does not exceed 0.1 mm. Pressurized lubricant provides easy disc slippage. Therefore, the requirements for cleanliness, the pressure of the transmission fluid in the Honda SRV boxes are high. When the transmission fluid filtration system becomes clogged, increased wear of the clutches occurs, as a result, a decrease in the resource of the entire automatic transmission.
The box contains 2 filters, one of which is coarse. It is located inside the automatic transmission, it can only be replaced when the box is disassembled. The fine filter, "pass-through", is brought out of the machine body and is periodically replaced.
Such an automatic transmission device Honda SRV dictates to replace working fluid every 45 tons. km of run. The fine filter must be replaced at least once every 90 tons. Km. But some owners combine filter and oil change every 45 tons. Km.
Such a careful approach to technology does not go in vain. At one of the specialized forums "Hondavodov" the emergence of a first-generation crossover with a mileage of about 700 t. Km without overhaul was recorded power unit.
What kind of oil to pour into the Honda SRV machine
The manufacturer company requires the use in its automatic transmissions, in particular on the Honda SRV 4 and SRV 3, transmission oil of two types:
At the same time, for new models of crossovers Honda SRV 3rd and SRV 4th generation, a more modern, exclusively synthetic ATF oil- DW1. Its original number is 082689990 4 HE. The cost of a liter is 800 - 1000 rubles.
Attention! CVT oils for Honda SRV HCF-2 are not suitable for hydromechanical gearboxes.
How much oil is in the automatic transmission Honda SRV
The total volume of oil in the box automatic machine Honda SRV is about 7 liters. In this case, in the case of a partial oil change, 3.2 - 3.7 liters of the "transmission" are drained. The same amount will need to be poured into the box. With a complete replacement, it is necessary to have 8 or even 9 liters of transmission fluid.
Changing the oil in the box machine Honda SRV
When changing the oil in the automatic transmission Honda SRV, two main methods are used:
- partial replacement;
- complete replacement.
And in fact, and in another case, you will need almost the same set of tools and devices, the difference will be only in the amount of purchased oil.
Important! The corporation manufacturer of the Honda automatic transmission does not recommend changing the transmission fluid using pressure flushing devices.
At the same time, in Honda machines, clogging of the internal filter can occur with a subsequent deterioration in the lubrication regime of the gearbox assemblies.
To carry out the work you will need:
- transmission oil;
- key or bit "square" 3/8;
- drain plug O-ring (orig. No. 90471-px4-000);
- container for draining mining;
- transparent hose for draining and filling the working fluid (2 pcs. 1.5 m each);
- funnel for the transmission bay;
- high volume syringe (200 - 300 ml).
When replacing a fine filter, you need to buy an original product. No. 25430-R5L-003 (price RUB 1500 - 1800)
The work of changing the oil in the automatic transmission is responsible, but not difficult, although painstaking. Expensive tools and complex fixtures are not required. Replacement should be done at a viewing pit or overpass.
Complete oil change in automatic transmission Honda CRV
An assistant is required for this operation.
Place the vehicle over a pit or overpass. Depending on the crossover model, either remove all the protection of the power unit, or the hatch on it, get access to the oil drain plug from the automatic transmission. Warm up the engine, and with it the box.
Remove the dipstick for checking the oil level of the box. Unscrew the drain plug with a 3/8 square wrench. On the last turns of the thread, it must be unscrewed with your fingers. Drain the oil into a 4 - 5 liter container substituted in advance.
It is easy to make such a container from a drinking water can by cutting off its top.
While the oil is draining, the magnetic tip of the plug should be inspected.
There should be no metal shavings on it. large sizes- 0.5 mm or more. The appearance of steel particles in large quantities indicates technical problems Automatic transmission.
In any case, the plug must be rinsed in gasoline or diesel fuel, and the O-ring must be changed. Reinstall the plug and tighten with a wrench.
Measure the amount of drained oil, then use a funnel and a hose to pour a fresh "transmission" into the box through the dipstick neck.
Remove the air filter box. There is a fine filter under it.
Remove the clamp securing the filter to the box. Unclench with pliers and move the spring clamp of the drain fitting (upper in the photo). Remove the tube from the filter. Put a drain hose on the fitting, the other end of which is placed in a transparent 1.5 liter bottle.
The removed pipe from the filter can be plugged with a plug, but it is better to substitute a small container under it. A little liquid will come off it during operation.
The assistant turns on the engine for 15 to 20 seconds. Dirty oil begins to flow into the container through the filter. After draining approximately 1 liter, command the engine to stop. Pour fresh liquid into the box, the amount of which should be equal to the drained.
Repeat the operation 2-3 times until clean oil begins to flow into the drain container.
Then you can replace the filter. Put the pipes on it, tighten them with clamps. Attach the filter housing to the automatic transmission. Replace the air filter box. Install the engine crankcase and gearbox protectors.
Start the engine, move the selector switch sequentially to positions from "P" to "D". Switch off the engine.
After a few minutes, check the automatic transmission fluid level with a dipstick. The transmission fluid must be between the "Max" and "Min" marks.
Make a test drive 5 - 8 km. In 5 - 7 minutes after stopping and turning off the engine, check the level of the "transmission", bring it in line with the marks on the dipstick. Top up or pump out excess with a syringe using a hose through the neck of the dipstick. The oil change in the automatic transmission Honda SRV 2 is carried out in a similar way.
Partial oil change in automatic transmission Honda CRV
Partial replacement oil in automatic transmission Honda SRV is a simplified operation described above. The transmission fluid is removed only through the drain hole once. Filter replacement is at the discretion of the owner of the car.
How to check the oil level in the automatic transmission Honda SRV
Checking the transmission fluid level in the Honda SRV box is carried out using a dipstick. The engine and gearbox must be warm. The machine must be parked on a level surface. The oil level should not exceed the upper mark on the dipstick and should not be below the "minimum" risk. Otherwise, you must either add liquid or pump out excess. This work is best done with a large-volume syringe with a transparent hose put on it through the neck of the probe.
Conclusion
Transmission oil in a box of a Honda SRV 3 or any other generation can be changed quite simply. The process requires precision and accuracy from the performer. Carrying out such an operation according to the regulations established by the car manufacturer will increase the resource automatic transmission and the whole crossover.
