Nope, same as always--drain through the drain plug, fill through the dipstick. Everything is accessible, and it's easier than an oil change. While Honda transmissions get a bad rap, the CRV has always had reliable transmissions. It seems Honda are extra-cautious with that vehicle. It was the last to get a 5 speed, and it never did even go to 6, let alone the CVT. Seems they want to be certain they don't screw up that one...
