Good video! Straight to the point with everything and clear communication. Camera angles and focus were great. Very satisfied. Hope you show how to change the transmission fluid in another video. 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome! I really should of done a transmission fluid video. I still have the CR-V and the trans fluid change isn't too difficult. Just be mindful of the fluid splashing everywhere and you must have the engine warmed up and turned off to check the trans fluid level. Also I just recently changed all the struts and after two failed aftermarket struts, I highly recommend buying directly from Honda.
@@mwpahl38 The two up front are directly from Honda and the back two are KYB Strut-Plus from Autozone. So far the KYBs feel great. The Honda struts are perfectly fine as well. They just cost four times the price.
@@BobbyOnesios I figured the Honda ones would be pretty costly. I was just wondering if there was a decent alternative to the OEM's. I appreciate the response and the video!
Jack Boardman hey ini your country crv is 2.0 or 2.4 litre because in Indonesia we get 2.0 manual and automatic transmision and also 2.4 automatic transmision
Thanks for the video! I new how to change my oil but didn't know how to reset the oil life monitor so I just skip to the end sorry I'm sure the rest of the video it was great too!
Don't start VEHICLE until full by car, also keep dipstick up and barely in, some people forget to put oil in it, so I learned to take oil cap off and Dipstick hanging out. This guy explains well but never good to Run low, he ran it 2 quarts low, that's very bad for engine, he said just over 3 quarts, by honda, it states 5.3 quarts of oil, but you will have some left in it unless run out overnight. Most don't, put some oil in filter, its best, then make sure there's no rubber seal left from OLD FILTER NOW oil the new seal and put oil on it and rub in just like he did. But best off to take old filter off first, why, then you match up by put them together, rubber to rubber and make sure the same size seal. Once you due that, add some oil in filter for better life of engine, no dry start, put in about half the filter now, then screw on once it stops and hand tight, give a quarter of a turn more and your great, then wipe off any oil drips on underside so you know, then go to top, add the 5 quarts of oil it calls for. The way I start my VEHICLE up is bump the starter a few times to get oil up to top. Just beware of some cars reset stuff by doing that, honda I DON'T think so. Ford i believe does, that's me but DON'T have to. Then let run and check for pressure if you have oil pressure gauge, if not, then make sure no dummy lights stay on of oil, if so, shut off and double check oil, check under VEHICLE 1st. No oil on ground then great, then check oil after a minute shut off, make sure enough oil in it, if very low, then make sure you put oil in, if you did, then you have and oil leak and look under, I have seen my brother-inlaw come home and truck smoking, he said he just got the oil changed and oil burning off, that can happen, but his was pissing from oil filter mow, he called the place, they told him to drive back, he said how, my oil light is on, my father-inlaw is here with my brother-inlaw my father in law work at General Motors at the time and stated that its got to have a double oil gasket on from filter, it sometimes sticks to the block, if you don't wipe clean and double check the filter my way and by wiping oil off clean to see, then you know its not on. Then put your oil filter on, they gave him a free oil change on his next visit. My father went to the store and hot oil and filter, brother-inlaw kept it and took back 2 the next day since they closed at 5 o'clock, it was 3:30p.m. and needed to go to store, lucky he drove only 3 miles and lost 2 1/2 quarts, if got on a highway, then would of blown engine. So its always good to check for oil spots even by the PROS now. They make mistakes to at times, also warm up oil for 5 minutes max. His VEHICLE needs to go in to the shop and have his valves adjusted, these 2.4L Honda engines are known for it. I learn everything about all vehicles I own. I'm a Chevy guy but own a 2 Ford's 1 Plymouth and a Honda now, sorry but Honda and Toyota was the best cars to buy for a used vehicle in 2018 to get your money's worth under $10,000 and have it last a long long time and be very very safe. Top 2 vehicle's, CR-V and RAV4 It runs great but has some things you must maintain, they need more four-wheel alignments and differential fluid change more often then any other car I've ever seen but that's it. never change differential fluid unless I got water inside from four wheeling or if I replace the cover with an aftermarket cover on my old truck and that's it.
Any plastic coverings that needed to be removed before the change? I just looked under my Honda and it doesn't look like I'll fit under there without having to jack it up.
Ming Li I'm not sure about the compass but I believe the models equipped with navigation didn't have them. It may be because the navigation handled it all. As far as the mileage, 24.9 is one of my lowest mpg. I usually stay around 28 mpg. It could be your 4wd, driving pattern, or terrain. I also ended up getting energy efficient tires. There was a time I started getting low mileage and noticed the bolts holding the throttle body to the intake manifold were loose. Air was slipping by and causing poor performance.
Bobby Techknow really even on highway I get bag mileage but I do go about 80 90 also thank you for the reply. And the intake where is that? Is that where he engine filter is? I'm sorry bad with car things. One more thing at low speed let's say stop sign when it's in drive there like this noise idk how to describe I have a video of it. Honda was trying to charge me 150 for diagnosis. It stops if I park it or put it to neutral.
I only have about 52,000 miles. I'm actually using the video to do an oil change, then later an engine coolant replacement and also a brake fluid change. The vibration and the comment I said last time when ur stop at a drive thru let's say stop in drive it vibrates also when going under 0-10 mph it's such a strange sound. Is there an email or something I can send it to you. Thank you
Denise Howell No problem! If there is anything else you would like to see, just let me know. I just replaced a rear brake light and I was wondering if I should do a video on it. It's kind of odd pulling the rear light housing out but easy to do once you figure it out.
I have a 2008 crv on my oil cap reads 5-30. Why are you using 0-20? You should talk more about synthetic or normal. In the auto parts they told me that my car doesn't recuared synthetic. Thanks
My adventures with my wife's 2010 cr-v have been awesome, especially when we found out that it burns a quart of oil every 1,200 miles because of low tension oil control rings. Last Honda I'll ever own, they used to be great but not any more, my tacoma doesn't burn a drop and its a 2006, love toyota!
Ii had mine done prof and it started acting up after 1400 at Honda dealer jiffy left the box disconnected should we doit ourselves Or is this common to be a problem
I tried removing my oil plug from my 2011 crv and I broke a ratchet wrench and have started slightly stripping the bolt so I stopped and I am going to take it to my family mechanic. makes me so mad trying to do something myself and not being able to do it. I put a new filter on which came off fine but the bolt won't budge and is slightly rusted.
Sorry to hear that. While I was deployed, my wife took our CRV to a 30 min oil change place, :-(...Let's just say I almost needed a blow torch to get the drain plug off. I had to buy a new plug too. Hopefully your family mechanic won't over torque the plug. Sometimes the oil filter can be a pain in the butt too.
+Bobby Techknow It was one of those penzoil 10 minute oil change places. I doubt my family tech would over torque it, and prob gonna need a new plug as well. Just hoping nothing is damaged oil pan wise.
Yes. I've used it a few times so far. I'm sure the oil debate can last a hundred posts but honestly, I haven't seen a difference or problem. You'll be just fine with 5w30.
I made a huge mistake I emptied the entire 5.4 quart bottle into the engine and the smoke was white it was terrible. I just emptied it all out into the pan and now I'm waiting tobsee what to do next, I'll try and drive for an oil change
Oh my goodness!! I had a friend who poured too much oil into his engine and had the same result. Luckily, he stopped the engine right away and put the right amount in. His engine ran just fine after that. I’m hoping everything works out for you too.
Definitely. Just make sure it matches in type, like 0w20. Your oil cap should have some info like this on it. Now, for transmission, power steering, clutch, and brake fluid I would stick with the Honda brand just to be safe.
I know! Sounds like mixing PBR and a fun night. I still drive this CRV and that was the last time I used that type of filter. Let’s just say that on the next oil change I had to stab the filter with a screw driver to twist it off. I made a heck of a mess.
Good call! I do know that I haven’t used any other filter than the Honda filters since this video. I just go to Honda and ask for a filter. Sorry about that.
Does your CRV makes this noise when you are stopped and turn the wheel slighty when it has been driven for 20 minutes or more. You can hear it when pulling in driveway. th-cam.com/video/YiUUofweITc/w-d-xo.html
+Kevin Yu Yes it does! It was making me go crazy. I went to the dealership and they said it was the power steering pump and it's perfectly fine. That was 5 yrs ago and it still works. Even after a power steering fluid flush I can still hear it. Must be normal
I change the oil myself in my crV it’s incredibly easy to reach everything with this car I love it
Me too!
Thanks for the tips. I just bought 2011 for the wife. Good video.

You're welcome! I should of done a separate video on that but I'm glad you were able to get some good info. Take care!
@@BobbyOnesios well you got your tags right, i searched specifically for "resetting the oil life in a 2010 Honda crv"... Got me there...
How many quart did you put? Wow! Nice crv.i have 2009. Thanks good video
Thank you for the feedback! I put in a little over 4 1/2 quarts. If you have any other questions, let me know.

Well done young man!
it was helping a lot thank you very much
Crv series !!!! Awesome !
Hi there, Outstanding Effort! story collect What do you think, guys... !!
Am wondering' I have a code number pop up on my dash screen for my 2010 honda crv (AWD) indicating oil life 15%, B 145
excellent video man
Thank you!
Hey I have a 2010 Honda CR-V exl 4wd with navigation but weird I don't have a compass in the middle also how do u get 24.9 mpg I get like 18

80 or 90 could eat some gas for sure. The intake is just after the air filter in the engine. How many miles are on your crv?

Sorry about the confusion. I’m not quite sure I know what you are referring to. What box was left disconnected?
perfect instructions. worked great.
Thank you!
Did you do this without jacking the vehicle at all?
Oh yeah. My oil pan fits right under there.
@@BobbyOnesios Wow good job. My oil pan fits but I can't fit without jacking it up a bit. Lol!
Thanks!
Thanks for your video 👍
You're welcome!
Were you able to change the oil without jacking up the car? Thanks!
No jacking required :-) Everything fits perfectly.
I have to start doing my oil change on my 2010 Honda CRV. Oil changes are getting expensive. The express charged 60 dollars
I don’t blame you one bit!
I tried removing my oil plug from my 2011 crv and I broke a ratchet wrench and have started slightly stripping the bolt so I stopped and I am going to take it to my family mechanic. makes me so mad trying to do something myself and not being able to do it.

Yes. I've used it a few times so far. I'm sure the oil debate can last a hundred posts but honestly, I haven't seen a difference or problem. You'll be just fine with 5w30.
+Bobby Techknow Quick reply lol, yes Mobil 1 is great too, keep up the great work brother.

So no need to jack it up?
Didn’t show replacing compression washer
fram filter and mobile 1 oil i like it
I know! Sounds like mixing PBR and a fun night. I still drive this CRV and that was the last time I used that type of filter. Let’s just say that on the next oil change I had to stab the filter with a screw driver to twist it off. I made a heck of a mess.

Super good job, really nice CrV love Hondas myself great cars.
Thank you! I'm a Honda lover too!
You didn't tell the filter size
Good call! I do know that I haven’t used any other filter than the Honda filters since this video. I just go to Honda and ask for a filter. Sorry about that.
Fyi those FRAM filters are made of paper and disintegrate rapidly
Does your CRV makes this noise when you are stopped and turn the wheel slighty when it has been driven for 20 minutes or more. You can hear it when pulling in driveway.

Why are you using a high quality oil & one of the worst brands of oil filters? Wix Xp is designed to use with synthetic oil. Rey high quality filter.
Great question! I have no idea. I do know that I’ve never used it again. I’ll have to try that high quality filter you suggested.
Check out some YT videos. The comparison ones,it’s a very well made filter.
@@BobbyOnesios thanks for a quick response on the filter size
