CR -V Transmission Fluid

Was wondering how many changed their transmission fluid in their CR-V per the manual. If being towed, 2years or 30,000 miles.
Thanks for any and all comments!
  • actually just changed mine....I don't know when it was ever changed before me but I put 10,000 miles on it and have towed it about 2000....it was very brownish looking......
  • Yes change it. Way cheaper than a transmission. If it is all wheel drive also change the rear end pump fluid.
  • I changed mine at 15,000 on my first CRV and am planning do change the fluid on my present one at 20,000 miles. Those are miles on the odometer. Including the tow miles, it works out to about 30k total.
  • Why would you not follow what is recommended in the owner's manual? I am amazed at people who think they know more than the engineers who designed and built their vehicles!
