Honda CR-V: Recommended Engine Oil
Oil is a major contributor to your engine’s performance and longevity.
Always use a premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil displaying the API Certification Seal. This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving, and that it meets the American Petroleum Institute’s latest requirements.
