Overview: The 2014 Honda CR-V’s 2.4-liter engine uses SAE 0W-20 engine oil, preferably full synthetic. The capacity with a filter change is about 4.7 quarts (4.4 liters). Always confirm the exact requirement in the owner’s manual or on the oil filler cap.
For more detail, this guide breaks down the recommended oil weight, certifications, how much oil you’ll need for a full change, and typical change intervals. It’s designed to help you pick the correct oil and maintain optimal performance and efficiency for your CR-V.
Oil type and specifications
Key specs to follow when stocking up for your 2014 CR-V are summarized below.
- Viscosity: SAE 0W-20
- Certifications: API SN (or newer) and ILSAC GF-5 (or newer)
- Oil form: Full synthetic is preferred; synthetic blends that meet the above specs are acceptable
Bottom line: Use a 0W-20 oil that meets API SN or newer and ILSAC GF-5 standards. Honda recommends Honda Genuine 0W-20, but any reputable brand that meets these specs will work and help maintain performance and fuel economy.
Oil capacity and replacement schedule
Before performing an oil change, know the capacity and the recommended replacement interval. The engine holds about 4.7 quarts (4.4 liters) of oil with the filter. Use the maintenance minder or vehicle manual to determine exact change timing, but under normal driving conditions you’ll typically see intervals around 7,500 miles, with more frequent changes if you drive under severe conditions (short trips, heavy towing, extreme temperatures, or dusty environments).
- Oil capacity (with filter): approximately 4.7 quarts (4.4 liters)
- Recommended change interval: follow the Maintenance Minder; commonly about 7,500 miles under normal conditions, more often in severe conditions
After refilling, check the oil level with the dipstick and adjust to the full mark as needed to ensure proper lubrication.
Tips for selecting and changing oil
When shopping or changing oil yourself, consider these practical tips: choose a reputable brand that meets the API SN and GF-5 specs, prefer full synthetic, and use a fresh filter. If you’re unsure, ask a technician or refer to your owner’s manual for the exact specification and capacity for your trim and market.
Summary
For a 2014 Honda CR-V, use SAE 0W-20 engine oil, ideally a full synthetic that meets API SN and ILSAC GF-5 standards. The typical fill for a change is about 4.7 quarts with a filter. Follow the maintenance minder or owner’s manual for the exact oil-change interval, and always verify the specification on the filler cap or in the manual to ensure optimal performance and warranty compliance.
