2025 Honda CR-V 1.5L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder Oil Specifications

Documented applicability

US market · Model years 2025 · Engine code 1.5L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder · Gasoline

  • Honda ties service intervals to the Maintenance Minder system rather than a single fixed mileage figure, so no normal_interval or severe_interval number is published on this page — Maintenance Minder calculates the actual due date/mileage from your CR-V's driving conditions and displays it on the dash.
  • A specific OEM oil filter part number was not captured directly from Honda's specifications page during this research pass and is intentionally omitted rather than sourced from a secondary listing.
  • engine_code on this page uses Honda's own descriptive engine name from its specifications page, not a factory alphanumeric block code — a code (commonly cited elsewhere as L15BE) circulates on third-party fitment-lookup sites, but was not independently confirmed from a Honda-operated source during this research pass, so it is not used here.

Service Interval: Maintenance Minder, Not a Fixed Number

Honda doesn’t publish a single fixed oil-change mileage for the CR-V. Instead, the Maintenance Minder system tracks your specific driving conditions — trip length, engine temperature, RPM, and more — and calculates when service is actually due, displaying it on the dashboard. That’s why this page doesn’t list a “normal interval” figure: any fixed number would be less accurate than what your CR-V’s own Maintenance Minder calculates for your driving.

What We Couldn’t Confirm Yet

Honda’s specifications page confirms viscosity, API rating, and capacity, but a specific OEM oil filter part number wasn’t captured directly from a Honda source during this research pass — check with a Honda parts counter using your VIN for the current filter part number.
