About 4.5 quarts (4.3 liters) of engine oil, including the filter, with 0W-20 viscosity recommended for most markets.
The 2014 Honda CR-V uses a 2.4-liter inline-4 engine with a standard oil capacity specified for a full oil change using a new filter. While 0W-20 is the typical recommendation in many regions, always confirm the exact specification in your owner's manual or on the service label under the hood, as regional guidelines can vary.
Oil capacity and recommended viscosity
The following details apply to the 2014 CR-V’s 2.4L engine and reflect a standard oil change with a new filter.
Key specifications
- Engine: 2.4L i-VTEC inline-4
- Oil capacity with filter: 4.5 US quarts (4.3 liters)
- Recommended viscosity: 0W-20 for most markets (check local specs in the owner's manual)
- Oil specification: API SN or newer, ILSAC GF-5 or newer, with Honda-approved or equivalent synthetic oil
These figures reflect a typical change. If you replace only the oil and not the filter, or if you order a different filter, the exact quantity required can vary slightly.
Checking and maintaining oil level
To ensure you stay within the proper range and avoid overfill or underfill, follow these steps.
- Park on level ground and turn off the engine. Wait several minutes for oil to settle.
- Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert fully, then pull it out again to read the level.
- Check the oil level against the MAX and MIN marks on the dipstick. If low, add oil in small increments (about 0.5 quart at a time) and recheck.
- Aim to keep the level between the MIN and MAX marks after a full change with a new filter. Do not overfill.
Regularly checking the oil level helps protect the engine and ensures optimal lubrication between changes.
Summary
The 2014 Honda CR-V typically takes about 4.5 quarts (4.3 liters) of engine oil, including the filter, with 0W-20 being the common viscosity recommendation. Always verify exact specifications against your local manual and service labels, and perform oil level checks after changes to maintain proper engine health.
