My CRV is less than 2 years old and has only 14,000 miles (all highway miles). I just got a maintenance minder code that says I should change my rear differential fluid. It has been my experience that rear differential fluid should be changed around 30,000 miles. I contacted the dealer and they said that they have been getting CRVs in for the rear differential fluid change at low mileage but could give me no explanation for why the "in car computer" is telling owners to get the fluid changed.

Any ideas or information?

The first change is at 15k; subsequent changes will be spaced 30k apart.

Mine was 14/15k. Easily done too.

I also have a 2012 CRV and the maintenance minder didn't come on till 70,000 miles, I had a Pilot 2005 and it didn't call for a change until it was over 30,000. The question for me is on the 2017 why at 15,000?

Mine 17 called for around 17k and now 47k but nothing yet but will do it in a month anyway.
