What oil to use and how to check it
Recommended oil type

How to check oil level and perform an oil change
To ensure an accurate reading and proper oil level after an oil change:
- Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature, then shut it off and wait 5–10 minutes for the oil to settle.
- Remove the dipstick, wipe clean, reinsert, then pull out again to check the level against the full/low marks.
- Fill gradually in small increments, rechecking with the dipstick to reach the full mark without overfilling.
- Dispose of used oil properly and replace the oil filter as recommended by Honda’s service schedule.
For precise instructions, always refer to the 2019 CR-V owners manual and follow dealer-recommended maintenance intervals.
