After buying a 9 year old 2013 CRV a few months ago, I paid Jiffy Lube $150 for an oil change. I drive for a living, so of course the oil life light went on at 3000 miles ... even tho I got the synthetic oil that's supposed to last 10,000 miles. So it's big help to know how to reset the oil life alert. But I still don't want to pay $150 every few months, so your video was a big help to show me how to do it myself. Many thanks! P.S. I was your 1000th thumbs up!
Wow, I use synthetic as well, but still change the oil in our CRV ever 5,000 miles, just to be safe and keep the inner engine in top shape! Great idea on checking the serpentine belt while the hood is up, and topping off all fluids. Our '14 CRV only has about 80K on it, so has a lot of life in it yet. We do tow it behind our motorhome, so the car itself would naturally have many more miles, but the 'engine' miles is correct.
It's best to check size. Sometimes a standard fits better.. I often use 1/2" on heads that are really supposed to be 13 mm which is slightly larger than 1/2"
In the real world, bolts can be slightly rounded by someone previously using an adjustable wrench or whatnot. A SAE 11/16th is about 17½ mm and tends to work well on an old 17mm plug. You could replace or repair the plug if someone was OCD about what socket size works.. Just saying.
My grandmother gave me her honda now it my first crv . You explained this so well that I actually was able to work on my car without my grandma pestering me about taking it in fo a oil change when I can do it myself .
My favorite DIY video ever! Getting ready to do my first oil change on a 2014 honda crv ,bought six months ago Thanks for clear video, clear and concise speech, and fast forwarding through some mundane parts of the job. At first I thought you were bleeping out some cussing, like when oil seemed to be running down your sleeve! But good character is apparent! Loved the comments, especially that you responded to many and answered questions. I didnt get an owners manual, so a good video is very helpful. By the way, I take old socks ( which have developed thin spots or holes) out to the garage for oil spills. Looks like I'll need one for a glove on this honda. Dealer oil change for $40-50 sounds good to me ,too.
Great video. Only comments are to wear clear safety glasses with protective side wings when under any vehicle. Protective glasses keeps falling dust / crud out of the eyes. I like to apply new oil film on the top side of the new filter's rubber seal (like you did) and also remove / apply oil film on the under side of the rubber seal as well. I also like to pour new oil into oil filter at 90% full. Other than these items great video...
Thanks for your video. I haven't changed oil in a car since I was in my 20's. I made a rookie mistake and didn't make sure the gasket on the old oil filter was off before putting the new filter on. Oh boy, what a mess! Hopefully no body else made this mistake like me.
Just a couple of things I'd add...I would wear latex gloves working on oil changes, as it keeps your hands clean, and at the end, don't check the oil until you back down off of the ramps, as the car should be level. Our CR V is a 2014, so I'll assume its very similar, and has about 70K, but I thank you for the idea of checking the belt! That I need to do, and then keep the old belt as a spare!
thank you for the comment, i agree checking the oil after you get off the ramps is a good idea so that the car is level. Hope your staying safe out there
Good Information! Thanks for telling me that it holds 4.2 quarts and how to reset the oil life indicator. That is exactly what I needed to know! I was glad to see that you used a decent filter instead of putting on another piece of junk. You should fill the filter with fresh oil before installing it (because it sits vertical and won't drain out on install). You should also run the engine and check for leaks before replacing the service plate.
@@njsongwriter Absolutely wrong.. When the entire filter element is saturated, you will be surprised how much oil is in the filter... You need to change your oil someday... Might learn something..
Thanks for posting! Was just about to change the oil in our new 'used' CR-V and figured I'd watch a video if there was one first.. This was very helpful!
very good instructions. I would only add that before I put cover back on I usually start and run engine to see if nothing leaks....then put cover back on. thumbs up
That washer on the drain plug is probably a crush washer that should be replaced each time. When tightened to the proper torque the washer seals without over tightening.
I see I'm back for a second time, as our '14 is due for an oil change. It's more that Quick Look at resetting the % on the dash, so thanks for the update!

Did an oil change today, everything fine except removing the old filter which was a fram was a absolute bear to get off, by hand no way, tried the tool that fits over the old on but it kept popping off, tried the big filter remover pliers but wqs crinkling the filter, so I had to borrow one of those claw things and it finally broke it loose, it can be frustrating, the filters are not very sturdy and so small. has this ever happend to you ? I replaced it with a napa filter and put it on hand tight , hopefully comes off much easier
I would like to know if you actually twisted off the oil filter by your hand? I mean with out a tool? I believe you but I have not been able to do that on my Honda. Every GM I have had I can twist it right off.

Thanks Jim. We have a 2013 CRV with only 33,000 miles. It is in showroom condition. Like to change oil every year as a preventative measure. Did you change your transmission oil yet. Let us know.
What's the torque spec for the engine oil drain plug? I've seen a lot of oil plugs damaged by improper tightening. I have 29' lbs. Written down. Should use never seize on the filter cover screws
At 1:29 do you see those silver bolts on the front of the engine at both sides of the orange dip stick? What are those bolts for? I just saw I'm missing one
I think you're talking about the bolts that hold the valve cover on the engine not sure how you would be missing one of those. I would just stop by a local garage and see if they can look at it for you.
not really sure but I probably bought them at Walmart. they are all metal if you get these make sure you sit them on a piece of plywood or OSB if you are on blacktop when it is hot out the front will sink in the blacktop. My garage is concrete

Hey brother, I know this is an older video but just wanted to get your opinion. I have always stuck with the every 5k miles oil and filter change but I have always had pre2010 model cars. Well now I have a 2011 Accord and a 2014 CRV, both use synthetic. I get mixed opinions on sticking with every 5k or using the oil life percentage. What do you stick by? In either situation, I would still check the dipstick regularly as normal.
On our CRV I go by the oil percentage and on my Toyota Tundra I change every 4000 because I only put about 10000 miles a year on it. I do recommend checking the crv oil at least once a month. Hope this answers your question.
Austin Faulkner - been changing oil and filter from 3k to around 4k now and it is worth it to help the engine parts last longer.. Synthetic oils can be purchased on Amazon even for a little over $4 a quart in 5 quart jugs..This is not cheap-o oil this is Pennzoil synthetic with the highest today SP rating... And it's delivered to your door...
I don't put but 6K miles/yr on my CRV, just once a year I let my Honda dealership do the recommended 0W20 full synthetic, car doesn't burn a drop of oil, runs just like the day I bought it,, probably will keep my 2014 for 10 years as it has been bulletproof.
Here is the size you don’t have to buy just easier to show you. Thanks for watching www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B018TGMPEK/ref=syn_sd_onsite_mobileweb_448?ie=UTF8&adId=200027098427671&qualifier=1622890449&id=2194571520129503&widget=sd_onsite_mobileweb&spPl=1&psc=1&uh_it=2069feabbbdb5c5ef296b578522f566c_CT
Nice instructions thanks. In my car I can't even remove 4 screws to remove the under cover (shown at your video 2min 12sec). I don't want to strip the screw head, is there any tip? Appreciated.
Well...it's nice to see that they moved the oil filter. I tried to change the oil and filter on my moms 2006 CRV and it was impossible to access the filter. It's on the back of the engine half way up from underneath the vehicle. I used 2 ramps and had easy access to the oil pan. I didn't have a cap cup type wrench remover, just a tightening strap type. There is no room to move to tighten the strap around the filter. I even bought a filter claw type wrench with no success. I gave up and brought it into a Honda dealer and got an oil/filter change, top off fluids, inspection and free car wash for $47.
Dude, the cap that fits on the bottom of the filter is only a few bucks.. If you have a ratched and some extensions, you can take it off very easily.. Straps, etc., = the ancient way of doing this when vehicles had tons of room underneath to use them... Get into the 21st century...
Not 11/16 for drain plug. This is a Japanese vehicle which is metric. The correct size is 17mm. 11/16 is slightly larger. Use that and risk rounding it.
Excellent video! I have the same vehicle, and I always feel conflicted about changing the oil myself because it seems to be a minimal cost savings. What are you thoughts on that? My dealership will change the oil/filter/car wash for $40 (with a coupon). I find that buying 5 quarts of oil is around $34, plus new filer gets me close to $40! Everything else they do (like switching an air filter) can be ridiculous in price.
Agree I just like to do it myself I have heard some horror stories of garages changing oil and messing something up. I'm sure most do a great job. Thank you for commenting
@@DIYJIM makes sense...I subscribed and watched your other videos on ATF and Differential fluid changes- thought they were great as well. I'm at 96,000miles, and plan on referencing them again in the spring to change both. Also planning on tackling the serpentine belt and alternator replacement around 105,000. Thanks again! Jeff - Cleveland, Oh
I would always want to do it myself if possible, you cannot trust the idiots that do it these days.. Hard to find good people lately... If you do it yourself, you can look around under there and spot things that might need attention too... Where do you shop for oil ??? I can get 5 quarts of Pennzoil Synthetic SP rated oil delivered to my door on Amazon for $22.93..
Quite straight forward instructions up close and personal. Thank you, Sir. One observation, though. How about giving that engine compartment a good cleaning. 😹
Thank you for the comment and your right I was thinking the same thing I need to clean the engine compartment both in my crv and truck thanks for the subscriber have a great day
Well done...text book.. Hmm... maybe add eye protection . I tie a small rag around my wrist so the oil doesn't run down to my elbow when removing the filter..LOL

My question is. What kind of oil would you recomend me for a 2014
I never buy anything special. Valvoline is what I have been using, I'm sure there is better. Thanks for watching
You don’t need to level the car to drain engine oil? They’re not like the rear differential fluid?
thanks for the info, and thanks for watching
At 1:29 do you see those silver bolts on the front of the engine at both sides of the orange dip stick? What are those bolts for?
I just saw I'm missing one
I think you're talking about the bolts that hold the valve cover on the engine not sure how you would be missing one of those. I would just stop by a local garage and see if they can look at it for you.
Can you reuse the same compression washer? I like the fire in your rims.
I have reused my washer before, I’m sure it will be ok. I do have some in the description of this video, that you can order. Thanks for the comment
Question I had a guy use 5w 30 for the Honda due to high mileage is this a valid thing to do ?
I can not say yes or no. I think I would keep putting in the oil it recommends.
@@DIYJIM that’s my thought as well, I wasn’t sure if you or others had experience with that information. Thank you for your response
Where can I see how much oil do I need? Can't find it in my owner's manual. I have the same car but just want to be sure.
Yes it’s in the owners manual. Thanks for watching
11/16" is about 17.5mm: is that gonna be a problem w/ rounding off the drain plug over time?
If you have a 17 mm it would be better but i have used 11/16 many times with no problem
Could be after a number of oil changes. 17 mm is correct size.
Thank you for making this! What kind of ramps do you have and where could I get them?
not really sure but I probably bought them at Walmart. they are all metal if you get these make sure you sit them on a piece of plywood or OSB if you are on blacktop when it is hot out the front will sink in the blacktop. My garage is concrete

I am just trying to send a message to everyone that commented on one of my videos. Thank you for subscribing if you subscribed to my page. It is a lot of work making these videos, but it is worth it when I get comments back that I helped someone out and maybe saved them some $$$. I love to do things on my own, and try to teach my two boys. If there is something that you would like to see on my page just send me another comment and maybe I will make a video. Thank you again for the sub if you are one of my sub's, and hope you have a great holiday. God bless
Hey brother, I know this is an older video but just wanted to get your opinion. I have always stuck with the every 5k miles oil and filter change but I have always had pre2010 model cars. Well now I have a 2011 Accord and a 2014 CRV, both use synthetic. I get mixed opinions on sticking with every 5k or using the oil life percentage. What do you stick by? In either situation, I would still check the dipstick regularly as normal.
On our CRV I go by the oil percentage and on my Toyota Tundra I change every 4000 because I only put about 10000 miles a year on it. I do recommend checking the crv oil at least once a month. Hope this answers your question.
I also have a 2014 CRV. My last oil change was grim. As it now has over 125k on it, I'm changing every 5k no matter what.
@@cyclemadness not a bad idea
Austin Faulkner - been changing oil and filter from 3k to around 4k now and it is worth it to help the engine parts last longer.. Synthetic oils can be purchased on Amazon even for a little over $4 a quart in 5 quart jugs..This is not cheap-o oil this is Pennzoil synthetic with the highest today SP rating...
And it's delivered to your door...
I don't put but 6K miles/yr on my CRV, just once a year I let my Honda dealership do the recommended 0W20 full synthetic, car doesn't burn a drop of oil, runs just like the day I bought it,, probably will keep my 2014 for 10 years as it has been bulletproof.
I also lube door locks and hinges every time I change the oil
Good video. Hair: Dude we all get there eventually! :)
Agree, it sure is a lot easier to take care of!! LOL
nice job, thanks very helpful

How many litres it takes? Of course including the filter
I think it was about 4 liters sorry don’t have that car anymore. I didn’t say in the video?
Very helpful instruction.
Thank you!!!
Very glad I could help thanks for watching
can you mention the filter wrench in tool list first？i drain the oil then saw you mentioned the wrench.....
I have it labeled oil filter wrench in the description or it’s in the first comment
The honda shop would have charged u 118.00 for that job.
Thanks for sharing that.
you got that right, thanks for commenting

Nice instructions thanks. In my car I can't even remove 4 screws to remove the under cover (shown at your video 2min 12sec). I don't want to strip the screw head, is there any tip? Appreciated.
Will a size 3 Philip screw driver fit. Or maybe spray some rust remover on the screws. Or ask a friend for help
Well...it's nice to see that they moved the oil filter. I tried to change the oil and filter on my moms 2006 CRV and it was impossible to access the filter. It's on the back of the engine half way up from underneath the vehicle. I used 2 ramps and had easy access to the oil pan. I didn't have a cap cup type wrench remover, just a tightening strap type. There is no room to move to tighten the strap around the filter. I even bought a filter claw type wrench with no success. I gave up and brought it into a Honda dealer and got an oil/filter change, top off fluids, inspection and free car wash for $47.
My crv is the easiest car I have had to change the oil
Dude, the cap that fits on the bottom of the filter is only a few bucks.. If you have a ratched and some extensions, you can take it off very easily.. Straps, etc., = the ancient way of doing this when vehicles had tons of room underneath to use them... Get into the 21st century...
Hi, it shows your filter model is Mobil 1 M1-110A. But Walmart told me this is not compatible with 2014 HONDA CRV. Why? Thanks!
Or Honda is a 2013 maybe they changed the filter for the 2014
@@DIYJIM : thank you. I believe they are wrong . It's a right model for 2014.
@@悟入木三分 what oil did you use?
@@tobyleroux2780 : you are right! Walmart guy did make a mistake. thank you. I have replaced it by your said model. It's silky smooth.
Well done. Thank you.
thank you for the comment
How did you dispose the oil that you drained?
Most auto parts stores will recycle it. I used it for stain on my shed.
@@DIYJIM stain on your shed? Like on barn wood? Can you please expound?

Not 11/16 for drain plug. This is a Japanese vehicle which is metric. The correct size is 17mm. 11/16 is slightly larger. Use that and risk rounding it.
thanks for the info you are correct thanks for watching
Super helpful, thanks!
Glad I could help thanks for the comment
Very Good Very Good Job
Excellent video! I have the same vehicle, and I always feel conflicted about changing the oil myself because it seems to be a minimal cost savings. What are you thoughts on that? My dealership will change the oil/filter/car wash for $40 (with a coupon). I find that buying 5 quarts of oil is around $34, plus new filer gets me close to $40! Everything else they do (like switching an air filter) can be ridiculous in price.
Agree I just like to do it myself I have heard some horror stories of garages changing oil and messing something up. I'm sure most do a great job. Thank you for commenting
@@DIYJIM makes sense...I subscribed and watched your other videos on ATF and Differential fluid changes- thought they were great as well. I'm at 96,000miles, and plan on referencing them again in the spring to change both. Also planning on tackling the serpentine belt and alternator replacement around 105,000.
Thanks again!

I pay $20 for oil and filter. 5 quarts of Super Tech 0W-20 is $15. That leaves another $5 for the filter and crush washer.
I would always want to do it myself if possible, you cannot trust the idiots that do it these days.. Hard to find good people lately... If you do it yourself, you can look around under there and spot things that might need attention too... Where do you shop for oil ??? I can get 5 quarts of Pennzoil Synthetic SP rated oil delivered to my door on Amazon for $22.93..
Why does Honda make its dip sticks so hard to read the oil level? There has to be a reason.
Good question, thanks for leaving a comment
Always never seize the cover bolts
Use 17MM, NOT 11/16. Almost stripped my drain plug! 2013 CRV

Quite straight forward instructions up close and personal. Thank you, Sir. One observation, though. How about giving that engine compartment a good cleaning. 😹
Thank you for the comment and your right I was thinking the same thing I need to clean the engine compartment both in my crv and truck thanks for the subscriber have a great day

Well done...text book.. Hmm... maybe add eye protection . I tie a small rag around my wrist so the oil doesn't run down to my elbow when removing the filter..LOL
