What is the maintenance interval for the Honda CR-V?
2 Answers
Honda CR-V's first maintenance is due at six months or 5,000 kilometers. After the initial maintenance, minor maintenance is required every six months or 5,000 kilometers, while major maintenance intervals can be referenced in the vehicle's maintenance manual. According to Honda CR-V's maintenance manual: 1. The oil filter should be replaced every 10,000 kilometers or six months, the air filter every 20,000 kilometers, the cabin air filter every 10,000 kilometers, the automatic transmission fluid for the first time at 60,000 kilometers and then every 40,000 kilometers thereafter, the brake fluid every three years, the fuel filter every 80,000 kilometers, and the spark plugs every 100,000 kilometers. 2. During each maintenance service, the engine oil and oil filter must be replaced. If full synthetic oil is used, the oil change interval can be extended.
My newly purchased CR-V just had its first maintenance service, and I learned from the dealership that the maintenance schedule is quite crucial. The manual usually specifies every six months or 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, especially for the first two years of a new car. Since I mostly commute to work in the city with frequent traffic jams, the engine oil wears out faster, so I make sure to go right at the six-month mark. The main tasks are changing the engine oil and oil filter, and the dealership mentioned that the air filter and cabin air filter only need replacement once a year. Developing a habit of regular maintenance can save a lot of money, whereas delaying it could easily damage the engine and lead to costly repairs.
