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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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!

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.

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.

Will a size 3 Philip screw driver fit. Or maybe spray some rust remover on the screws. Or ask a friend for help

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.

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

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

Most auto parts stores will recycle it. I used it for stain on my shed.

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..
