Loosen the fill plug on the side of the rear axle differential housing. There should be enough fluid in the housing to dribble out of the fill plug hole the minute you remove it. If not, fill the housing to the level of the plug hole with the proper lube.
there is a solenoid on the drivers side fron taxle that has gone bad.
They can be bought in either 2wd or 4wd.
2WD: on the front tires 4WD: on the front and rear tires but Honda Pilot 4WD is not a full 4WD therefore no need to put chains in rear tires unless you're manual engage 4WD.
Yes, but only in Japan.
2010 honda cr-v 4wd
AUTO TRANS: 2WD: 2.9 quarts - 4WD: 3.1 quarts. MANUAL TRANS: 1.9 quarts
On the drain pan on the bottom of the transmission there is a drain and a fill plug. Fill through fill plug until full or fluid starts draining out of the fill plug opening. Shift the vehicle through the gears with the engine running, then check again. Repeat until full. Do not over fill! Use proper transmission fluid!
What's it smell like? A hot brake shoe? Check for proper brake adjustment -or- check for a weak return spring -or- check for partially applied emergency brake. Does it smell like hot metal or hot oil? Check for rear a bad rear wheel bearing. Is it a 4WD or 2WD? Check for proper level of fluid in differential.
You don't. The car will engage 4WD automatically when needed. Improve Answer: The car will NOT engage 4WD automatically when needed. You need to manual engage 4WD by yourself. Please read your Honda Pilot manual.
Look under the car. If you see a differential with driveshafts going to each rear wheel, it's a 4WD or what Honda calls an All Wheel Drive.
ALL FLUID LEVELS ARE POSTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. CHECK UNDER FLUID LEVELS OR ON THE SPECIFCATIONS PAGE. That follow statement above is true. But to make things faster. 2WD 8.3 (8-3/8 US qt, 7-1/4 lmp qt) 4WD 8.5 (9 US qt, 7-1/2 lmp qt) --I also recommend buying an extra quart if possible. *Tighten the drain plug at 22-29 ft-lb.
ONLY the 4WD models. To check to see if yours is 4WD or 2WD - look under the rear of the vehicle, If you can see a driveshaft coming from the front of the vehicle and operating a differential on the rear axle then you DO have 4WD. If by "on-demand" you mean that YOU can engage it or dis-engage it at YOUR discretion - no. The 4WD engages and disengages automatically as wheel slippage is "sensed" by the transmission and the onboard computer.
