Introduction

Keeping the engine healthy is critical in getting good life out of your vehicle. Part of maintaining engine health is replacing the oil and oil filter on a regular basis. Honda CR-V 2012-2016 models need to have their engine oil and oil filters replaced every 7,500 miles or 12 months. If your car has high mileage then it’s suggested to replace the oil with a high mileage full synthetic. Most parts and tools listed can be found at a local auto supply store or purchased from an auto supply store online.
