ood ol lie of "life time" fluid.

Honda does not say they have Life Time Fluid. Manufacturers that do, just reckon that the trans will be out of warranty by the time it reaches 'end of life'.

There is no internal filter on your Generation's 5 speed auto. There IS an external filter ,mounted near the radiator.

There is a Maintenance Minder code that will come up. If you just bought the car, you should how to see what codes and services are coming up next.

The most popular fluid for your automatic is Honda DW-1 semi synthetic ATF.

If I took the time in less than a minute to also supply a link there is more than one type of filter for the transmission.

Please supply us with more detail and what you want.

you'll have to search a diagram for the actual internal filter that is in the trans itself its a Screen

D blinking will throw a code for transmission one of the four sensors by the battery
like said posted the link to the trans filter canister
and a filter screen near the bank 3 or 4 in the transmission
and the drain plug

WOW!!! Not often do you see a serviceable filter without dropping the trans pan!!! no wonder i couldn't find any shift kits from trans-go for this year of CRV!!! I got a newer-ish 07 CRV with 70-75k miles, i'll be doing all the services where possible on it.

i should probably do the rear diff fluid since it's either a 4WD or an AWD

EDIT: grabbing those items now

AWD, its real-time no 4 wheel here great to hear and happy to ablige

 

There is still an internal filter for the transmission, but the external I believe is a magnetic type of filter that can catch metal shavings. (Someone here can confirm.) Unless the transmission has been severely neglected in regards to fluid changes, the transmissions lead a long, healthy life. Draining and refilling with DW-1 (the only approved fluid for a Honda transmission) every three oil changes is good, cheap insurance. (I've purchased the fluid in bulk from an online Honda parts dealer for less than $6/qt.) The rear differential uses Honda Dual Pump Fluid.

 

The factory one is NOT magnetic but it does have a bypass valve in it so if it clogs up too much will still let fluid flow.

I replaced mine in the CRV and Pilot with the Magnefine version. I can find other places to save a couple $$ and feel confident that I have better filtering ability to try and prolong life of a really expensive part of my car that gets me to work so I can buy car parts.

Make sur if you get aftermarket that you install it the correct direction or even factory one.

 

Carbuff2 where is this filter located .. I was trying to find and replace it but I could not find it I have seen video that trans filter is close to rear axle ....no luck ..either

 

Underneath the front bumper, there should be a square (maybe rectangle) cut-out. If you look through that, you should see a filter like above. I changed my last year with a magnefine filter: https://www.amazon.com/Magnefine-Magnetic-Inline-Transmission-Steering/dp/B0787KWZPS/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=magnefine+3/8"+magnetic+inline+transmission/power+steering+filter&qid=1609040327&s=automotive&sr=1-2
it fit perfectly with the oem bracket. If I was you, I'd either do the Honda OEM filter or the magnefine. I would not trust those chinese knockoff with something as important as my transmission.

 

Bottom of radiator on the outside. Looks like a fuel filter.
At ~1:25 on this video (Element)

if you can't find it don't sweat it. There is no recommended replacement interval that I'm aware of.

 

So Happy I was not asked, I won't go out to do a video, not insulted but totally agree with @Wildcat People need to read posts they don't they ask for help and like to be spoon feed here do not get me wrong, but I am right.

 

If my memory serves me right, I was able change my without taking off any of the bumper or under carriage cover. It took some maneuvering, but wasn't too bad to remove it.

 

@austin618x what tolls did you use so the poster can be prepared?

 

my trans filter bracket was rusty AF. it was so rusted the wrench would not fit, i removed the whole bracket and sand blasted the bolt, it was then too small for the wrench to fit, got it off with asocket, sand blasted both bolts and brackets and painted them black. reinstalled with new filter. and a fresh 3.5qts of special honda trans fluid


EDIT: left bumper cover on. had mine up on a lift which helped

 

I use an aftermarket filter for all Acura/Honda with this inline filter ATP B452

More Information for ATP B452

It's much less expensive than OEM. (~$10 vs ~$32)
(Used on my/family's 2004 Accord 4cyl, 2008 TSX, 2009 CRV, 2012 TL, 2017 Odyssey 6sp)

 

i paid 9.99 USD for mine with 2day shipping on amazon. hopefully it's not made out of goat hair and bat guano.

Also the trans lines hoses could probably be replaced in a year or 2. not crusty but, not super pliable either. they would be over 10 years old by now.

I just installed a similar one from amazon - $15 Canadian, so it may be the same one you got. I don't know about bat guano, but I think that if the goat hair is woven properly it should be ok at filtering debris. 😏

Aside from that, it wasn't a bad job - easily accessible. 10mm wrench for the bracket bolt, and pliers for the spring hose clamps. 10 minutes to get down under the car, 10 minutes to drain the tranny and replace the filter, 10 minutes to get my fat old buttocks back off the ground.
