My CRV is approaching 30K miles. I have a 2016 Accord also. I changed the CVT fluid in the Accord by draining, carefully measure the fluid drained which was shy of 4 qts, then I added 4 qts of HCF-2. I didnt use the fill level check plug. I was planning on using the same steps for the CRV, any one do the change similarly?

The beauty of the over fill plug is you know the fluid level is positively perfect when fluid drips out the hole.

If you prefer to follow the MM, it will trigger the fluid change alert somewhere in the mid to late 50k miles.

Use the fill level plug, it’s easy and know that it’s right.
