I found the CVT plug out AGAIN, then a clogged CVT vent. I went to youtube and found your video. And then, I found the fill bolt was missing! Thank you for the camera work and explanation!

very Informative! Clear, precise video with clear sequence of how to do the job correctly, including the proper torque specs (36 ft) with 15 ft lbs for the overfill plug.

Great video! Our 2017 crv awd has 51k miles and I am definitely going to do this myself. Only thing I will do different is measure how much oil is drained out and put the same amount back in.

What a great video, thank you!

The "large multi use funnel" from Walmart is what I purchased and it seemed to match what you had. Perfect fit.

I had to use around 4.8 qt of hcf-2 in my AWD before my check opening began to overflow. I read elsewhere that can happen.
