40t km is a major service interval. Palit lahat ng fluids. pag plano po pagawa sa labas use other brands ng coolant. Mahal kase yung Honda Green Fluid at Php700 a bottle.

Manual Tranny ba yan?: pag M/T use motor oil na 10w-40 or 20w-50. Don't use gear oil for Hondas.

Pag A/T naman use Honda ATF. As for the RTAWD differential ATF din gamit dun. Brake fluid naman is DOT4

HTH

pass by the shop if you like

we can do all the required pms for you

re: the loss of pulling power, that's probably the sparkplugs/air filter due for a change.

The throttle body opening should be cleaned too by spraying it with a carb cleaner, will help smoothen out the idling.

I'd check all 4 shocks by actually pulling them out- "showa" shocks don't last that long.
Crv bushings are weak: replace trailing arm, strut bar bushings.
Use Honda PSF only for power steering.
A good Dex 3 ATF should do for transmission and rear diff.

If repairs are never ending- sell the car!
