Approximately 7.7 quarts for a full transmission fluid replacement; about 4–5 quarts for a drain-and-refill.
For a 2013 Honda CR-V equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission, the total amount of ATF you’ll need depends on the service you’re performing and whether you replace the transmission filter. Use Honda DW-1 automatic transmission fluid, and consult the owner’s manual or a dealer for the exact specification for your vehicle.
Typical transmission fluid capacity for the 2013 CR-V
Below is a straightforward guide to the common service quantities you should plan for when servicing the transmission. The figures reflect the most common scenarios and can vary slightly by vehicle history or service method.
- Full transmission fluid replacement (drain the pan, remove and replace the filter, refill): about 7.6–7.7 quarts.
- Simple pan drain and refill (no filter replacement): about 4–5 quarts.
These ranges give you a practical sense of how much fluid to have on hand for the job. They cover typical full-fill and basic drain/refill scenarios for the 2013 CR-V’s 5-speed automatic transmission.
Notes on service and maintenance
Always use the proper ATF for your Honda: DW-1 is the recommended specification for most 2013 CR-V transmissions. If the vehicle is sealed and you cannot easily access a dipstick, follow the service procedure in the owner's manual or have the service performed by a qualified technician. After any transmission service, check the level with the vehicle on a level surface and with the engine warm, following the exact procedure specified by Honda.
Summary
In short, plan for roughly 7.7 quarts for a full replacement and about 4–5 quarts for a drain/refill when servicing a 2013 Honda CR-V’s automatic transmission. Always verify exact capacities for your vehicle’s configuration and use the recommended DW-1 ATF.
