5k for easy maintenance and keeping it clean hopefully
My wife’s 19 Pilot at 15% olm ranges between 5 and 6500 miles. 5 days a week during the school year it idles for about 45 mins a day during pickups. It sees highway twice a week. 53K on the clock.It seems Honda wants me to go 10k or more (21 Pilot) for each oil change before it appears the maintenance minder would say to change the oil. I have been performing the oil change earlier at 7 or 8k so I never got the warning but I have seen it do the same in a 20 CRV Hybrid. The maintenance minder in the hybrid wants to do 10k oil changes as well.
I'm sticking to shorter intervals now at 5k. You'll be fine at 5k, no harm doing it earlier. I did my first oil change at 2k though because of the engine break in BTW.
But Honda engineers know better, and MID may tell you to change it at 7k miles…On a turbo DI car I like the 5k interval because of extra heat and more point of potential issues
Also have CRV Turbo, I do an oil extraction at 50% with no filter change then do a dealer oil change at 5%. I'm more comfortable with the dealer oil changes while I still have a warranty.Very interesting question since it has the new 2.0 l non-turbo engine. The Maint Minder system is smart so you could folow those intervals and I would suggest changing the filter every oil change. The MM looks at operating time, temperature, and other variables to adjust the oil change interval.
A lot of the internet wisdom on the CRV relates to the oil dilution issue that can impact the 1.5 Turbo engines so it may not pertain well to the 2.0 NA engine you have.
If you want to be extra, I would change it at 30 percent oil life left on Maint Minder and change the oil filter every time since that adds literally 5 minutes of work (after most time is spent removing the splash shield..).
We have a 21 CRV with the 1.5 Turbo and I am trying to change oil at 30 percent and oil filter every time, using Mobil 1 0w20 Extended Performance since the $3 less for none EP oil does not matter to me.
If you change oil ”early” be careful when resetting oil life to make sure you dont reset the other counters.
But Honda engineers know better, and MID may tell you to change it at 7k miles…
