The 2014 Honda CR-V’s automatic transmission typically requires about 10 quarts of ATF when fully serviced, including a new filter. This figure helps plan drain-and-fill services and overall maintenance of the transmission.
The 2014 CR-V uses a 5-speed automatic transmission. This capacity can vary slightly depending on the exact service method and whether a filter is replaced. The following notes break down common service scenarios and what to expect in terms of fluid quantities.
Transmission fluid capacity by service method
Key figures to know when planning transmission service:
- Total capacity with a new filter: about 10 quarts (roughly 9.5–10.5 quarts typical).
- Drain-and-fill capacity: about 4–5 quarts per drain, depending on pan size and how much fluid is drained during the process.
- Full transmission flush capacity: about 10–12 quarts to complete a full fluid exchange with a cleaning cycle.
In practice, the exact amount you drain or fill depends on the service method chosen and the transmission’s condition. After any service, always verify the fluid level according to Honda’s recommended procedure.
Fluid type and service notes
The 2014 CR-V’s transmission requires Honda ATF DW-1 (or equivalent that meets DW-1 specifications). Using the correct fluid is important for proper shifting, lubrication, and long-term transmission health. Do not substitute with Dexron VI or other fluids unless explicitly approved by Honda for your vehicle.
Additional service considerations
If you are performing a full flush with a machine, plan for a larger quantity of fluid and ensure the system is bled correctly to avoid air pockets. For a simple drain-and-fill, monitor the level after the drain and fill cycle and adjust as needed to reach the manufacturer’s recommended level.
Summary
For a 2014 Honda CR-V with a 5-speed automatic transmission, plan on approximately 10 quarts of ATF for a full service that includes a new filter. A basic drain-and-fill typically uses about 4–5 quarts, while a machine flush may require around 10–12 quarts. Always use Honda ATF DW-1 and verify the level after service following the owner's manual or guidance from a qualified technician.
