Quick answer: the 2017–2022 Honda CR-V 1.5L turbo takes 3.7 US qt (3.5 L) of oil with a filter change. The 2.4L engine, offered in 2017–2019, takes 4.7 US qt (4.4 L). Honda specifies 0W-20 for both.
| Engine | Model years | Oil capacity (with filter) | Without filter | Oil type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder | 2017–2022 | 3.7 US qt (3.5 L) | 3.4 US qt (3.2 L) | 0W-20 |
| 2.4L 4-cylinder | 2017–2019 | 4.7 US qt (4.4 L) | 4.4 US qt (4.2 L) | 0W-20 |
Know your engine first. The two engines differ by a full quart. Putting 4.7 quarts in a 1.5L turbo overfills it. The turbo is the 1.5L (91 cu-in); the non-turbo is the 2.4L (144 cu-in).

We read the Specifications pages of all six owner’s manuals. The 2017–2019 manuals list both engines; the 2020–2022 manuals list only the 1.5L turbo. The CR-V Hybrid (2020 on) has its own owner’s manual and is not covered on this page.
Recommended oil type
Every manual lists Honda’s genuine 0W-20 motor oil or an API premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil for both engines. Any brand with the API Certification Seal and the 0W-20 grade meets Honda’s requirement.

These are the procedures in the 2017 CR-V owner’s manual. Which one applies depends on the display in your car. If your screens look different, follow your own manual.
Cars with the TRIP knob

Cars with the steering-wheel display buttons (driver information interface)

Honda’s manual adds that you can also reset the Maintenance Minder from the audio/information touch screen settings.
Oil change tips
- On the 1.5L turbo, add about 3.5 quarts, check the dipstick, then top up. Do not use the 2.4L figure.
- Do not fill above the upper mark on the dipstick. Honda warns that overfilling can damage the engine.
- A 5-quart jug covers one change on either engine.
- There is no fixed mileage interval in the manual: follow the Maintenance Minder percentage.
