I am making a maintenance schedule for my 2022 HRV w/ roughly 60k miles (driven since 2022) and regular interval maintenance. I can not find an official schedule on any of Honda's sites besides the "maintenance reminders" but I want something more in depth.

Below are the details on what I do and have so far; please let me know is there are other parts that I am missing with powertrain, transmission, shocks, brakes, etc:

Brakes
  • When to replace?
Brake Fluid
  • Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3
  • Replace brake fluid every 3 years
Spark Plugs- every 30K

Engine Oil (Mobil 1 OW-20) and Filter (7317); every 7,500 miles

Engine Coolant
  • Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2
Engine air filter

Cabin filter

CVT Transmission Fluid
  • Honda HCF-2
  • Every 30K miles

^^^ That is a good start.



Brake pads depend on your driving. They don't have a set interval, but both inner & outer pad thickness should be inspected when the tires are removed for rotation. Don't forget to lubricate the caliper's slider pins!

Today's Iridium spark plugs will last a great deal longer than 30K miles. 100,000 miles is typical.

We INSPECT our engine and cabin filters yearly. Clean them or replace if they are really dirty. (I always keep one each on hand.) Cabin filters, you can get charcoal or plain filters. Daughter #1 has allergies, so it's the 'good stuff' for her, after pollen season (which is at its peak here right now). :eek:

When you do an engine oil change, inspect/clean the CVT transmission vent on the front of the engine.

After 5 - 10 years, clean the PCV valve (it should rattle when shaken).

I'm sure I forgot SOMETHING...

Another thing I do (while waiting for oil to drain) is to spray silicon on all the rubber bushings and bellows underneath, to keep the rubber supple.

Oh, and after the job is done, you are entitled to enjoy an Adult Beverage!!! :giggle:

Maintenance is an interesting topic.

The first line of defence is visual like tread wear, and the translucent HDPE containers for coolant, brake fluid, and windshield fluid levels. And engine oil levels with the dipstick. Analytical certainty is very high, for levels, but not quality.

Things like brake pad wear are also visual, but slightly more involved.

I'd offer that the most complex evaluation by far is oil quality, be it the engine, gearbox, the oil in the AC Freon, or grease in the wheel bearings. You really don't ever know when these lubes are inadequate. And so, extending an oil change may be no more harmful than eating lunch at 1 PM rather than noon. And shortening an oil change may be no more beneficial than an 11 AM lunch than noon.

Maintenance has a very big psychological component as you (and I) feel good about doing something positive. And marketers know this well and use it to their advantage.

And clean implies well maintained, but doesn't guarantee such, as in this Triumph I spotted recently.
