Drive around neighborhood for five minutes to get all the crud into
solution. Place paint tray or 'litter box' pan under tranny, use 3/8"
socket handle (without a socket) to remove magnetic drain bolt (might be
tight). Extract the bolt part way from the opening for a minute so it
can drain slowly, otherwise it will squirt on the front right tire.
Allow to drain ten minutes. Wipe off magnetic drain plug and replace
copper crush washer. Install plug, use long funnel or hose to refill
with 3 quarts of Honda Z1. Start engine and run thru gears for a minute
and then recheck dipstick. Add sparingly until level is right.

Drive the CR-V for a week and then do it again, taking careful note of
how little metal is on the magnet this time. Should look like a coat of
graphite.
