Official Honda fluid capacities for the 1998 Honda CR-V have not yet been verified against service documentation. Rather than publish an unverified number, this table is empty on purpose.
Same rule applies: no verified source, no number. Torque values are being added model by model from official service information.
The official 1998 Honda CR-V owner's manual is published by Honda. We do not host or mirror manual files — copyright stays with the manufacturer, and a mirror is exactly what gets a site like this taken down.
Search your exact model year and trim on the manufacturer's owner site, or request a copy from any authorized dealer using your VIN.
