2020 Honda CR-V
120,000 mile service checklist

Here's exactly what your factory maintenance schedule calls for at this mileage — and what each item typically costs.

120,000 mile service

  • Engine oil and filter change — 0W-20 full synthetic
  • Tire rotation
  • Replace engine coolant — Honda Blue Long Life Coolant (first change at 120k miles or 10 years, then every 60k)
  • Replace CVT fluid — Honda HCF-2 (1.5T models; use ONLY OEM Honda HCF-2, never aftermarket CVT fluid)
  • Replace hybrid battery cooling system service (Hybrid models — inspect and clean intake filter)
  • Replace serpentine belt if not already done
  • Full brake system flush and inspection — replace all DOT 3 fluid
  • Replace AWD rear differential fluid
  • Inspect and service wheel bearings
  • Inspect all suspension bushings, ball joints, and sway bar end links
  • Inspect timing chain tensioner (1.5T — chain-driven, but inspect for elongation at high mileage)
