I was putting a bunch of items in my Amazon cart from your videos (oil filter, air & cabin air) THEN realized maybe all these parts are for the 1.5L. I have the 2.0L Hybrid Sport Touring... are the parts different???
Great question! Oil filter is the same( a.co/d/2d35YWU ), Cabin Filter is the same ( a.co/d/bfrxWyF ). The engine air filter is different for the hybrid and only at this point available from Honda, 17220-6MA-J01, here is a link that's not Amazon for that - www.hondafactoryparts.com/oem-parts/honda-element-air-cleaner-172206maj01 Thanks for watching!
Great video and pointers! Thank you. Also try using a bottle cut in half to take off filter and it’ll eliminate the spill and filter falls right into the bottle.. little life hack!!
Nice! Good for you. Its so easy and can save you a ton of money in the long run using very basic tools. Those quick oil change places can charge you $90-108 just for a simple oil change.
@@jeschr3462 Thanks! and I know, with my old 2009 nissan I used to just buy my friend (and local mechanic) a case of beer and he'd change my oil. Was real sweet deal but then he retired so figured it's high time I do it myself since its so dang expensive to get it done at these places lol
This information surprises me. I own a 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid Touring (Canadian model) and the owners manual very clearly states the following: If Maintenance Minder message does not appear more than 12 months after the display is reset, change the engine oil every year. (verbatim quote from manual) The MM message is the one you get when you have ignored the oil life remaining message at 5%. I only bring this up, as a recently retired individual who worked in a Honda Service Department for nearly 13 years here in Canada, that Honda Canada requires engine oil changes at least once yearly in order to comply with the terms of it warranty to vehicle owners. It has been a once yearly requirement for more than a decade here in Canada. I cannot believe that Honda USA would double that service interval. Would you be so good as to check your owners manual and see if that service interval really is 2yr or 24K oil and filter. Thank you very much.
Thanks for this comprehensive video on the CR-V oil change, if fact thanks for all your informative videos on this model. I just changed the oil on a 2025 non hybrid car with a scant 871 miles. Likely wasteful but I wanted to get to know the car better. Is it just me or am I the only one who finds the orange plastic end of the dipstick difficult to read? If the oil is dark, piece of cake to check the level. Newly changed and golden in color, I found it tough to decipher. I know, hardly something to gripe about. Great car thus far!
Great video! That oil looks more discolored than I expected and you changed it much earlier than the maintenance minder thing would have instructed. Interesting. Thanks!
Always good to make that first change early when new as you flush out any residue or things left behind during the manufacturing and assembly process. Thanks for watching!
@@zoomgas2803 I have a 23 CRv hybrid 2.0L. I don’t think your vehicle is hybrid but still very similar from what I seen in the owners manual as far as changing the oil filter. I’m at 1100 miles now. thinking I’ll do my first oil change at 2000 or 3000.
@@xyeahtony1 for a full synthetic in a new car with that number of miles miles I was hoping for a more golden or brown color. We wouldn’t expect carbon to be blowing past the rings on a new engine. Just more discolored than I expected but it wasn’t all that bad.
The video shows the reset of the oil %. To reset the maintenance minder is done by going to that in the menu and clearing. It’s a separate step and not always associated with oil changes. Thanks for watching!
For people waiting for the car to tell you when you need an oil change and depending on that free honda two year free oil change. Forget it, basicaly honda is giving you two free oil changes over two years. Not worth it get oil changed and pay for it yourself every 5k. Unless you want a screwdd up turbo. Also get first oil change at 1k
You can also change oil yourself and not reset the timer and then take to dealer on your next change, so you get best of both- more frequent changes and use of your first 2 years maintenance for free. Thanks for watching!
Waiting more than 5,000 miles on any engine, especially a turbo, is just shortening the life of the engine. Forget what the dealer or mfg says….want it to last…then no more than 5,000 miles on an oil change.
@@zoomgas2803 This is what I was thinking. I don't mind having a shop do the 1k, then 6k without reset, then have dealer do 9-10k. granted free maintanice is tire rotation and oil. for two year. All you get is two oil changes
Great video. My only concern is the amount of oil you put in. My owner's manual says 3.7 quarts. I will measure the amount that comes out as you suggest. However, I do not want to overfill the engine with too much oil. Perhaps your model is a hybrid?
Thanks for watching and oil fill can vary depending on your preference of where on the dipstick you prefer to operate. I have the 1.5T ICE engine, not the hybrid.
Two steps you are missing, when removing the oil filter USE a plastic cup to keep oil from running down your hand, and put some fresh oil on the filter before installation.
When removing the filter I encompass the filter with a zip lock baggie to catch the excess oil dripping down. Before installing the new oil filter always make sure the o-ring from the old filter came off with the old filter, sometimes they stick to the bottom of the engine. I made that mistake years ago and made a huge mess of things...
@@nowski186 good tips and tricks, the red plastic cup works well, just used it this weekend on a 2007 Odyssey and worked perfect. And always good to visually inspect that seating surface to ensure no gasket stuck and also to wipe it very clean for a good seal. Thanks for watching!
This may be too late to get an answer, but according to three manual it states this car only needs 3.7 quarts, not 4.2. When I put in 4.2 it was overfull on the dipstick
I'm a little confused, the manual says to add 3.7 quarts when changing both oil & filter (at least it does for my 2024 1.5L). Wouldn't 4.2 quarts be to much?
Honda doesn't use Phillips screws like they appear. They have Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) screws that look like a Phillips screw, but actually are a different design where the end is flat. It can be damaged with a Phillips screwdriver/bit.
Is the 1.5t engine known to be an oil burner down the road, or is it a pretty safe bet? Also wondering about carbon buildup on intake valves since it's GDI only.
I was at 6k miles and prefer to do the first change early to ensure anything that any particles captured in the manufacturing process get flushed out. Thanks for watching!
@ZoomGas: Great Video: I noticed your oil change percentage was at 50%, do you know how many miles you drove since the last oil change?. My daughter just took her 2024 CRV in for a complimentary oil change (her 2nd, car now has 10k miles) at Huntington Beach Honda and they refused to change the oil. They stated that the oil change is only at 60% and she has to wait till it's at 18% for the complimentary oil change. How many more miles does she have to drive to get it to the 18% window? I raised my daughter to have her oil changed at 5k mile intervals and she has followed my recommendation since the day she started driving 8 years ago. She's never had premature part failures do to a lack of service. Changing oil in a turbo engine at a 5k interval is a must, waiting till the service light to come on is pure stupidity in my book!!!
I had gone roughly 7500 miles. This winter I had called my dealer to take in for change and they advised it had to be below 30%, it was still at 50%, even though it has gone another 7k miles. So I know from owning a 2013 Accord that the oil %/miles can vary quite a bit based on long trips vs short drives to work and back. I also agree with you that the premise of every year or 5k miles, whichever comes first is hard to go wrong with on these engines. Thanks for watching!
You trained your daughter well. Here is exactly what my daughter was told when she took here new 24 outback to dealer for oil change at 1,200 miles and said my dad said to get an oil change done. The technician said "smart dad". These little 4cyl turbos need clean oil and 5,000 max miles is the correct number. I am actually doing my wife's 2024 every 4,000 miles because she does quote a bit of short and medium trips. Cheapest insurance you can buy for your engine.
2 things - use a #3 or blunt #2 Phillips and then hit them with some Fluid Film www.amazon.com/dp/B00PWZ0XNM/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_QRY0J8CK4FBB8RVNH45M?linkCode=ml2&tag=mobile0abd879-20 Thanks for watching!
buy 4 or 8 phillips screws for replacements and keep on hand. I had a similar experience with my 2022 Honda Civic Touring. I literally broke the head off on one...because it was so tight. Now, I have those screws in my maintenance pile. Merci
Removing the sheet-metal kick plate was difficult on the very first oil change. I was unable to remove two of the Phillips-head bolts because they were over-tightened from the factory--the Phillips slots stripped-out. Any suggestions on removing the ruined bolts? I will replace them with hex-head bolts.
Other comments have recommended using JIS screwdriver for the Phillips looking heads. Also, because they get embedded w dirt/dust, hit them with some Liquid Wrench and let them soak for a few minutes. amzn.to/4bWMFkX Thanks for watching!
Hi, thanks for video! Can you tell me where can I find the engraved VIN number/ frame number on the 2023 model? On the 2017-2022 model, it used to be under the front passenger floor mat. I looked under the hood but no luck. According to the owner's manual there is only 2 places (driver's door and in front the dashboard). I even asked the dealership but no one was able to provide an anwser! Thanks again.
Off topic - Do you know where the OBD port is? We have 23’ CR-V hybrid Sport Touring, can I use my data reader on this SUV without melting so motherboard or such? Just wondering 🤙🏽
Normal Honda spot, just above the resting pad for your left foot, along the drivers side. Under the panel to the left of the steering wheel, where the rear hatch release button is.
The engine cover comes off fairly easily once you do it a couple times, and then the filter is right there, but it does take some getting use to. Thanks for watching!
I can’t see why not, biggest pain would be the wiring harness if it’s not the same and needs rerun. But the dash button and the mechanism itself would be straightforward. Let me know how it goes if u do it. Thanks for watching.
No, this does not. I know some people have their dealers record the maintenance that they do as DIY in the dealer system, just so it’s documented. That may also be something to investigate as this seems of concern to you. Thanks for watching!
This is not accurate for 2024 Hybrid models. Please search for correct video from another for that. Just changed out my own Engine air filter so know 1st hand. Thanks.
Not recommended as it provides protection to that area underneath the car. Also, provides some sound insulation from road noise. However, those things aside, it does not prohibit the vehicle from operating. Thanks for watching!
The cover does add a couple minutes, but it’s easy to remove those fasteners and the drain plug and filter placement are really good and do not make a mess on other parts when they drain. But I understand your point :)
