Honda CR-V: Maintenance Under the Hood / Oil Check
We recommend that you check the engine oil level every time you refuel.
Park the vehicle on level ground.
Wait approximately three minutes after turning the engine off before you
check the
oil.
- Remove the dipstick (orange).
- Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth or
paper towel.
- Insert the dipstick back all the way into its
hole.
- Remove the dipstick again, and check the
level. It should be between the upper and
lower marks. Add oil if necessary.
If the oil level is near or below the lower mark, slowly
add oil, being careful not to overfill.
Under certain driving conditions, it is normal for the
engine oil level to rise above the upper mark. If you
have a concern, consult a dealer for details.
