The 2010 Honda CR-V with the 2.4-liter engine uses Honda’s oil filter part number 15400-PLM-A01 (and in some production runs 15400-PLM-A02); verify withVIN or your parts counter to confirm the exact match.
Understanding which filter to buy is important because the 2010 CR-V’s 2.4L engine can be sensitive to the correct filter size and threading. This article outlines the official part numbers, how to confirm compatibility, and practical tips for buying the right filter and oil.
Official Honda part numbers for the 2.4L CR-V
Before listing the official options, note that Honda typically issued two close-but-different oil filter part numbers for the 2010 CR-V’s 2.4L engine. The two most commonly referenced numbers are shown below. If your vehicle is close to a production change date, VIN verification is the best way to ensure the correct match.
- 15400-PLM-A01
- 15400-PLM-A02
In short, these two filters cover the typical 2.4L CR-V engines from that era. If you’re unsure which one your car needs, refer to your owner’s manual’s maintenance section or ask a parts specialist with your VIN handy. A quick cross-check at an auto parts store or dealer can confirm the exact fit.
What to know about replacement options
Beyond the OEM Honda filters listed above, many reputable aftermarket brands offer filters that fit the 2010 CR-V’s 2.4L engine. When shopping for alternatives, look for filters labeled as compatible with Honda CR-V 2.4L (2007–2011) and double-check the thread size, gasket diameter, and overall length to ensure a proper seal and fit.
Practical buying tips
Bring your vehicle’s year, make, model, and engine (2.4L) to the parts counter, or have your VIN handy. Compare the OEM numbers above with the store’s cross-reference data, and confirm that the filter you choose matches the engine in your specific vehicle. If you’re performing the service yourself, pairing the filter with the recommended 5W-20 oil and about 4.5 quarts of oil (roughly 4.4–4.7 qt, depending on drain and filter changes) will keep the engine well-lubricated between services.
Maintenance reminders and best practices
Always replace the oil filter when performing an oil change. A new filter helps ensure proper oil flow and filtration, which is especially important for the CR-V’s 2.4L engine that relies on clean oil for longevity. If you’re unsure about the process, consider having a professional perform the oil change or guide you through using the correct filter and oil type.
Summary
For a 2010 Honda CR-V with the 2.4L engine, use Honda’s oil filter part numbers 15400-PLM-A01 or 15400-PLM-A02, depending on your production date and VIN. Verify compatibility with your VIN if possible. Use 5W-20 oil and plan for roughly 4.5 quarts of oil during a full change with a new filter. When in doubt, consult a dealer or trusted parts retailer to confirm the exact match for your vehicle.
