Please use this thread to post information on how much fluid remains in the transmission, torque converter, and cooler during a drain and fill of the trany fluid and how much new fluid is put in, for different vehicles if you have that information, so you can get an idea of what percent of the old fluid remains in the trany.
I have a 2016 Honda CR-V with the CVT trany and AWD. The AWD version of this system takes 4 and 1/2 quarts to fill it back up after a drain. I have 20,500 miles on the vehicle and plan on drain and fills every 25K miles because I consider the hills of Pittsburgh to be severe service, and I plan on keeping this vehicle for a very long time. I was wondering how much fluid remains in the trany when this is done so I called the local Honda dealer and spoke to someone in the parts department. They were not sure but think a new dry unit would take about 7 quarts to fill. If that is correct then 7 - 4.5 = 2.5 quarts of the old fluid remaining in. That means after a drain and fill there would be about 64% new fluid in the trany and torque converter.
If anyone has more accurate information about how much fluid a dry system of a 2016 Honda CR-V CVT AWD takes please let me know.
