How to replace the differential oil on a Honda CR-V? Lift the vehicle on a column lift and locate the differential, then remove the bolt on the side. Once the bolt is removed, allow the fluid to drain into a container.

Prepare to refit the bolt under the differential using a socket spanner, then top up with the suitable differential fluid. Use a syringe and a flow tube to refill the new oil into the differential housing.

Lower the car and test the proper functioning of the entire differential system.
