What type of engine oil is suitable for Honda CR-V?

[LeAdam]

Follow the model recommended in the product maintenance manual, either SL or SM grade will work. Additional reference materials are as follows: 1. Mineral oil: Most economical option. Operating temperature viscosity is 30, moderate among the three types. Offers balanced lubricity and fluidity. Suitable for various driving conditions and vehicle states, with a deterioration period (deterioration cycle) of approximately 5,000 km under normal driving. Its low-temperature performance can withstand minimum temperatures of -30°C. 2. Semi-synthetic oil: Moderately priced. Operating temperature viscosity is 20, the thinnest among the three. Features relatively poorer lubricity and sealing performance but better fluidity. Suitable for high-RPM driving, helps reduce fuel consumption, though its weaker lubricity provides less engine protection. More suitable for new vehicles and frequent highway driving. Deterioration period under normal driving is about 7,000-8,000 km. Low-temperature performance can withstand minimum temperatures of -35°C. 3. Full synthetic oil: Most expensive option. Operating temperature viscosity is 40, the thickest among the three. Offers superior lubricity and sealing performance but poorer fluidity and higher resistance, which may increase fuel consumption. Suitable for older vehicles, frequently loaded vehicles, and those operating at low speeds for extended periods. Due to its stability, it's particularly recommended for turbocharged vehicles. Deterioration period under normal driving exceeds 10,000 km.
