Great question! Oil filter is the same( a.co/d/2d35YWU ), Cabin Filter is the same ( a.co/d/bfrxWyF ).

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
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!!
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
@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!
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.

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!
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 :)
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.
Nice video. Good description, but I do have an issue with the "measure what comes out" method. These 1.5L direct engines are known for oil dilution. Which adds gas to the oil and essentially can increase fluid levels on the dipstick. From the Owners Manual... 5th generation CRVs (2017-present) with 1.5L L15BE Turbo engines: 3.7 quarts. Which means, you overfilled your oil. Merci
3.7 will leave you in the lower half of the fill zone on the dipstick. 4.2 puts you in the upper half and every 4 cylinder Honda that uses Zero W uses a small amount of oil between changes that I have experienced in the last 10 years. Always check your oil level after the change to confirm it is within the OEM range on the dipstick. The angle you jack your car and the time you allow for drainage will also impact the amount you drain and thereby need to put back in. Thanks for watching!
@@zoomgas2803 ... nevertheless, no matter how it is seen, 4.2 qts is overfilling when 3.7 qts is proper amount. According to the owners manual, proper level on the dip stick is between the two dots. I do agree about checking oil level often.
