Why are oil changes important?
Before we get into the kind of schedule for your oil changes, we want to prove to you why they're so important in the first place. Oil changes are probably the most vital routine maintenance your CR-V needs, which means you should not be skipping out on this type of service. Your engine is made up of many tiny metal components that are moving at high velocities to make sure that your CR-V is running. Without the introduction of oil as a lubricant, the system overheats due to the friction that is being produced. When the engine oil is introduced, it reduces friction, which in turn reduces heat and any damage that could otherwise be done. It's worth noting that if oil is left too long in an engine without being changed, it could potentially turn into sludge due to the oil breaking down, along with environmental factors like the addition of dust and dirt. The more often you change your CR-V's oil, the smoother the entire system is able to operate.
How often should my Honda CR-V get an oil change?
The most important thing you should consider when getting routine oil changes is to follow whatever your Honda CR-V Owner's Manual says. That is truly the holy grail of information with your SUV, and it's what our dealership always refers back to. Our service technicians recommend getting an oil change about every 6 months, which roughly translates to 5,000/7,500 miles, depending on how much you are driving within that timeframe. There are other factors to consider, too, including your driving habits, the kind of environment you have been driving in, and the type of oil that you are using for your CR-V. All of those things are what you will be able to discuss with our team so you can get on a schedule that suits everyone.
What different types of engine oil are available?
- Conventional: The most common engine oil that you have heard about is conventional motor oil. This is basically just a refined version of base/crude oil. There are fewer additives here than in other types of oil because it is not manufactured. This kind of oil can work for anyone, but especially those with average driving patterns that are not out of the ordinary.
- Synthetic: Another option for you to consider is fully synthetic motor oil, which is completely manufactured and extensively refined. You'll find many kinds of additives in here to help keep your engine clean and lubricated. While synthetic oil works for anyone, it's highly recommended for those who are putting added stress on their engine through towing, off-roading, or other activities like that.
- Synthetic blend: Looking for a middle ground option here? Then you may be interested in what a synthetic blend motor oil can do for your CR-V. This is, as you likely guessed, a blend of conventional and synthetic oil. You'll enjoy the benefits of synthetic oil without paying the full price of synthetic oil blends. Feel free to ask our service technicians about what they would recommend for your ride.
- High mileage: If you have been driving your CR-V for a few years now and are over 75,000 miles, then it may be time to consider high mileage motor oil. This kind of oil focuses on decreasing leaks by finalizing the o-rings and gaskets. You'll also find much less sludge with high-mileage oil.
