Honda CR-V Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
When to change the oil on a 2017-2024 (5th-6th gen) Honda CR-V, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Maintenance Minder (~7,500 mi); 1.5T ~5,000 mi due to dilution |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 1.5L turbo (oil-dilution prone) or hybrid 2.0L; 0W-20 full synthetic |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Honda CR-V note: Same 1.5T oil-dilution caution as the Civic; subject of TSBs/class action in early years. The hybrid avoids the dilution concern.
