Honda CR-V Oil Change Guide
Good news: across all 3 years of the Honda CR-V in our database, the recommended oil type has remained consistent at 0W-20 Full Synthetic. This means if you're upgrading or switching between model years, you can use the same oil.
The oil capacity for the CR-V is 3.7 quarts with a new filter (2024 model). A standard 5-quart jug of 0W-20 oil will cover your change with some left over.
Which Oil Filter for the CR-V?
The OEM oil filter for the Honda CR-V is part number 15400-PLM-A02. Compatible aftermarket options include the FRAM PH7317, Mobil 1 M1-110A, and Bosch 3323. Any of these will work — the most important thing is replacing the filter with every oil change.
Other Fluids
Beyond engine oil, the CR-V uses Honda ATF DW-1 transmission fluid, Honda Type 2 Coolant (Blue) coolant, and DOT 3 brake fluid. For complete fluid specifications for your specific year, click through to the year page above.

Honda CR-V Oil Questions
Across the years we have in our database (2020–2024), the Honda CR-V has consistently used 0W-20 Full Synthetic oil. That said, earlier generations (which we're still adding) may have used different specifications. Always check the specific year page to be certain.
A DIY oil change on a Honda CR-V typically costs $30–$50 for 0W-20 full synthetic oil plus an aftermarket filter. A shop oil change runs $55–$90 depending on location and whether you go to a dealership, quick-lube, or independent mechanic. DIY savings add up quickly — especially if you set up Subscribe & Save on Amazon for automatic oil delivery.
Using a slightly different oil weight (like 5W-20 instead of 0W-20) in an emergency won't immediately damage your engine, but it's not ideal long-term. The wrong viscosity can reduce fuel economy, increase engine wear at temperature extremes, and potentially affect emission control systems. Using the manufacturer-recommended oil is always the safest choice — and it's easy to find the right one using the year links above.
