Honda CR-V: Maintenance Under the Hood / Oil Check

Honda CR-V 2017-2024 Owner's Manual / Maintenance / 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.
