What type of oil should be used for the CR-V?

[SanDallas]

Honda CR-V uses engine oil with the specification of SL or SM. Introduction to oil specifications: The oil grade indicates its viscosity specification. For example, in "15W-40, 5W-40," the "W" stands for Winter. The smaller the number before the W, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating that it can be used in lower environmental temperatures and provides better engine protection during cold starts. The number after the W represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C. The higher the number, the higher the viscosity. 40 means the kinematic viscosity standard at 100 degrees Celsius is between 12.5mm2/s and 16.3mm2/s. Precautions for changing oil: For a new car under normal driving conditions, using synthetic oil, the oil can generally be changed every 10,000 kilometers, and some can even be changed after driving 20,000 kilometers. Under "severe driving" conditions, the engine wears more, and the requirements for oil are higher. Therefore, it is recommended to shorten the oil change interval to effectively protect the engine.
