Honda CR-V oil change, Honda CR-V oil life reset, 2017-2020 1.5L CR-V maintenance, and how to change the oil and filter on a 5th generation Honda CR-V. In this Fix It John video, I show how to change the engine oil and oil filter, how to find the oil life on the maintenance minder, and how to reset the oil life when the job is done.
If you have a 2017, 2018, 2019, or 2020 Honda CR-V with the 1.5 liter engine, this video should help. I show where to find the oil life on the dash, how to reset it through the screen menu, how to jack the vehicle up safely, how to remove the lower cover, what tools you need for the oil filter, and how much oil this engine takes.
I also point out a small oil leak I noticed underneath this CR-V and mention the latest update video on that issue here:
