The Honda Crosstour with its 5-speed automatic transmission holds about 11–12 quarts (roughly 10.5–11.5 liters) of transmission fluid in total, with the pan containing about 4–5 quarts.
The Crosstour was produced from 2009 to 2015 and offered in both 2WD and AWD configurations. Exact capacity can vary slightly by model year and drivetrain, so consult the owner's manual for your specific vehicle. Use Honda’s approved ATF (DW-1) or a Dexron VI–compatible fluid as recommended for your transmission.
Capacity figures
The figures below summarize typical capacities for the 5‑speed automatic Crosstour. They cover total system capacity, pan capacity, and notes on service methods.
What affects the figures
- Total transmission fluid capacity (including torque converter and cooler lines): 11–12 quarts (approximately 10.5–11.5 liters)
- Pan capacity (fluid stored in the pan): about 4–5 quarts (approximately 3.8–4.7 liters)
- Recommended ATF type: Honda-specific ATF DW-1 or a Dexron VI–compatible ATF as specified in the owner’s manual
These figures help when planning maintenance. A full flush or machine service can replace nearly all the fluid, while a pan drain-and-fill typically replaces a portion of the total capacity.
Maintenance considerations
For routine maintenance, many Crosstour owners perform a pan drain-and-fill at regular intervals, with some opting for a full flush at higher mileages or under severe driving conditions. Since transmission service procedures and fluid formulations can vary, it is best to follow the manual or have a qualified technician perform the service to ensure proper refill and level.
Always verify the recommended fluid type and service procedure for your exact model year and drivetrain, as Honda occasionally updates specifications across production years.
Summary
In short, plan on roughly 11–12 quarts (about 10.5–11.5 liters) of transmission fluid for the Honda Crosstour’s 5‑speed automatic system, with about 4–5 quarts stored in the pan. Use the fluid type specified by Honda and follow the owner’s manual for the correct service method, whether you’re doing a drain-and-fill or a full system flush.
