recirculating transmission fluid in Honda CR-V
Yahoo Message Number: 57430
Checking on toads in the Motorhome Magazine 2005 Guide, I find that for the Honda CR-V they recommend recirculating the tran fluid every 8 towing hours.
How is that done, please? Thanks. Maryellen

towing hours."
It is basically just running the engine in drive for a few minutes, to circulate the oil in the transmission. Then you put it in neutral and turn off the key in the ACC poition and go.
 For most of us, that is a once a day, just before you leave, task. I haven't driven 8 hours in a day for many years.

Nuhuh! Honda's instructions for the CRV are pretty specific: Make sure radio, A/C, etc. are turned off Press brake Go (slowly) through all the gears Leave in N for 3 minutes Put in ACC

We've been towing for about two years with no problems.

Nuhuh!

 The above is very misleading because it wasn't ME that said it is basically just running the engine.... !  MY comment was something along the lines that the procedure for towing 4-down should be explained in your Owner's Manual.

Oh, Linda, I am so sorry I gave the impression that you were the person who replied "just running the engine for a few minutes."

Anyone who reads your posts on this board would know that your opinions are always well researched and thought out; never off the cuff. I do apologize for my carelessness and will watch out for that kind of mistake again.

Sincerely,
