The plugs will be around 100k. The service interval on iridium plugs are influenced more by the quality of fuel than wearing out. As for the transmission, it could be anywhere between 45k-65k. But changing it around 30k might provide piece of mind.

 

Thank you. I was reading around 30K for trans but wanted to check. The carfax records show maintenance for the first few oil changes (probably free at the dealer) then nothing until it was up for sale again. That doesn't mean things weren't done, just that they weren't put into carfax.

 

Another thing to check if applicable, if your CRV is AWD, ideally the rear differential should have a change of the proper Honda Dual-Pump fluid.

 

Are you buying it from a Honda dealer? Was any service work performed there? Ask for all of the service records if it was.

 

If Honda said 25K interval, or you're saying 25K interval, and read from the Manual found online about Mountain roads, they recommend changing at a different schedule. Please do point out hte 25K where you read?

If I were to purchase I say hey change all the fluids get the car to spec, and you got a sale. On you. MM its time, mileage and some

 

@PhilF It would be 2WD, whether this one or another, but thanks for the AWD info.

@intruder1500 It's actually at a Ford dealer. 2019 Honda CR-V Touring San Antonio TX | Boerne New Braunfels Helotes Texas 7FARW1H98KE014705 $26K seems high for the miles. It was actually listed for less than that back in Oct. It's been on their lot almost 6 months.

@fishycomics I never found an official American Honda document that said change (whichever fluid) at XX,XXX miles, in America, under normal conditions. Everything says MM, which makes sense. Regarding the 25K for ATF, it was in the 2019 Owner's Manual (https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/ATLA1919OM/enu/ATLA1919OM.PDF). I highlighted the part about mountains and towing. The 2017 manual has similar wording on pg 545.

What I DID find, however, was from Maintenance Minder | Maintenance Schedule | Honda Owners Site and it's called "Maintenance Schedule for Normal and Severe Conditions - General Countries." I attached it.

My wife is leaning EX-L or Touring, but really has her heart set on the Basque Red Pearl, so that limits the choices. Touring options don't really do much for either of us, so I've been nudging her toward an EX-L. It's interesting to see there are dealers out there still selling new 2019s.

We did our research on OdyClub before buying our first Ody, back in late 2002. I've also been reading up on CR-Vs on here and it's nice to have helpful online communities to share experiences and info to help each other.

 

No one will have a clear answer to what is right or wrong on the ATF fluid change. so as long as we feel 30K is about the time to go by.

You will be very pleased it an EX-L its a few things less then a Touring. paddle shifter, radio wiper etc to name a few let us all know in the end what you picked up newpreowned.

 

If you can get the VIN number your local Honda dealer may be able to get you some repair history.
