I've never tried Diamond Brite products but will certainly give this a try. 👍

Yes dealers will ignore this and leave it up to the owner to request it. Does your CRV have electric or hydraulic power steering? Ours (2011) is electric.
-
It might be that the rear diff oil is needing changed. Only use genuine Honda fluid for this.
-
Sorry, I'm not sure if a 2008 model has that feature. Ours is a 2011, so a post facelift. Perhaps it wasn't an option on earlier mark 3's and was added to later models after customer feedback. We need someone with an early gen 3 to help! 👍

I'm not sure if pre face-lift has the same brightness adjuster (in the bottom of the speedometer). I have just tried adjusting the panel brightness and even on the dimmest setting the steering wheel buttons are still lit. Perhaps your dealer is your only option.
-
I'm wondering if it's connected to the instrument brightness. Perhaps turning it up would help. I will try mine later (at the moment it's a bright sunny morning here and our driveway gets sun all day).

Hello, 3rd gen CRV owner here. We have a 2.0 EX as well and it has illuminated steering wheel buttons.
-
Glad to hear the oil change has helped. It certainly helped with mine. The molyslip will help too and as Trevor says take the first to second change a bit slower.

Hi, yes our CRV is four wheel drive. I hadn't thought about that before but it might well explain the notchy shift. Our other car (Jazz) has a very smooth shift in comparison with its original fluid. Both are similar age and almost identical miles.
-
Hello. I had an issue with notchy gear changes on my 3rd gen CRV. Changing the gearbox oil did help, but what I found made the most difference was having the clutch fluid renewed.

Hello, just read your request. I think I have the very item you're looking for. The one I have is black vinyl.
