If you click "SHOW MORE" in the description above your be able to see Links to the Tools 🔧🔨🔧 I use. Also Clickable Chapters📋 📙 throughout the video and other Links 🎬 that may be of interest. I've had a few viewers request where they can buy the tools they see in some of my videos but it's not very clear that the "SHOW MORE" tab has a lot of information in that may be of interest. Admittedly the amazon links are associated with me and I would earn a small commission which helps towards keeping the channel funded.

SOS for Honda Crv 2002-2006 use 5w20 (0w20 Europe) if u have 100.000 and under. If you have 100.000 up use 5w30 ( I searched every manual) i want to help for crv lovers. (Honda oil-Liquid Moly- Mobile 1- Valvoline- Elf-Total BEST BRANDS) reliable sources. And for coolant fluid use only Honda Genuine COOLANT (Type-2) OR blue coolants (Mannol, Zerex, Peak, Valvoline, Prestone)

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Thank you for the info fronce33.

[@brocky78]

You could probaly use used chip oil for honda engine if needed

[@stephenmeader8878]

A really good thoughtful, and descriptive video walkthrough of the required procedures and clear and easy to follow steps! -very well made! one of the better tutorials i have seen well done sir!.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Thank you for such a kind comment. Hope it helped you.

[@IronMountainx]

I have a CRV with 210k miles, only had x2 engine oil changes in its life and never had the auto box fluid changed. Have been expecting it to go pop for the last 10yrs but the damn thing keeps going. I will definitely be buying another but with full service and plan to keep the fluids changed and topped up with the next CRV. Thanks for the informative video.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

I do think the Japanese engines were built better back in the day. I had a Toyota corolla that had been driven dry which I found out after I had purchased it and although it was making a heck of a racket it kept going and going and eventually was exported to South Africa. It now seems that from 2007 engines can't make it past 60k without self destruction because of the 'improved' way they are built.

[@ek97hb]

Good job, but wow that is a rusty underside lol

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Chucks Channel thank you! I had a Suzuki Vitara and that was just the same. I think it’s mostly surface rust but our Renaults have never had rust at all, and we had 5.

[@Voiceovertehe]

This helped me a lot, enough so much so i changed my oil without jacking it up 😬

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Fabulous news !!! Glad it helped

[@richardmorse5307]

Yes, it can be done without jacking the car up. It’s a tight fit and hard to do an inspection. I use ramps which work well, were only about $50 CND when I bought them a few years ago. Lightweight but very sturdy and are a must to change oil in the Honda Accord. One question our 2002 CR V takes 4.2 litres for an oil and filter change and you use 5.3 litres with same size engine. Puzzled? Good video, thanks!

[@franka6790]

Tbe only thing that I do not agree about this presentation is the viscosity of oil that you used. Isn't 5w40 a little to thick for that engine? I am using 5w30 for my 2014 CRV 2.4 4th Generation. Do you really think that using 40 is just alright or better instead of using 30

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Hard to remember back that far but I normally choose the oil from the owners manual. Most oils today are 5w30 and thats what I tend to use though I do recall some people saying that when I used that in the Honda HRV it was way too thin and the engine would consume a fair bit. So not sure If I chose that oil from owners recommendations or the Honda manual. 5w30 is the norm though for most cars.

[@ptwrmakes1849]

40 is fine on a car this old, if it was the K series in say the EP3 civic type-R or the Integra I'd go 30, 220k and counting

[@heros2110]

My wife's 2004 CR-V with the K20 engine gets 5W-30 ACEA A3 as per manual and the engine doesn't consume any. 158,000 km which is roughly 100,000 miles on the dash.

[@MaximumDIYGarage]

Hi Thanks for the excellent video and the voice over! As far as I know these engines are not prone to head gasket failure. I wonder what happened to this one?

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Hi and thank you for the positive comment. Did you see the rest in this series as I repaired the head gasket due to the previous owner driving with a coolant leak. When they realised it was too late. Think I did about 10 episodes on the repair.

[@BlacKnives813]

Awesome. Thank you. Have you any idea where the fuel filters are on these? As I’m struggling to find information on them.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

I've just looked in the Haynes Manual and I can only see reference to the Fuel Pump with Filter gauze located in the fuel tank.

Most people always forget to apply the emergency brake for extra stability. You should always apply the emergency brake when jacking up a vehicle.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Very true or use wheel chocks.

[@AgentAle47]

I'm going to do this for the first time on my 2004 Honda CR-V, I'm on the other side of the ocean so mine actually is the K24 2.4L Petrol Engine, but seems location of drain plug and Oil Filter are the same as the K20 2.0 L engine. That oil filter looks difficult to remove, hopefully it will come out easily. Thank you for your video, it was really enlightening.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Thank you and hope all goes smoothly.

[@franka6790]

Actual oil that you use is exol 5w40. But your description says a link for 5w30? Why is that?

[@CoatsandGaiters]

I think the manual might have said 5w30 for the UK temperature but when I used this in another Honda lots of people said it would be too thin and that the engine would drink a fair bit.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

@Bruce Wayne It depends on many factors but when I put 5w30 in the Honda's tended to burn a bit past the oil control rings so I was having to keep topping it up. I was advised 5w30 was too thin. The manufacturers favour thinner as it's better for emissions. I think you have to choose what you feel suits you.

[@tengteng8640]

wow this car look so rust

My car currently has 5w20. But my mechanic suggest motul 5w30. Is 5w30 isn't too thick for the car? I got 2006 crv

[@CoatsandGaiters]

I used 5w40 but today most manufacturers seem to favour 5w30 so your mechanic is probably right.

[@Kuykuytv]

@@CoatsandGaiters thanks for the reply. Do u drive in winter season? Or does ur place always hot or sunny? Reason is I heard that thicker oil are good in summer or hot season. And lastly how long you've using 5w40 on ur crv?

[@CoatsandGaiters]

@@Kuykuytv the UK is fairly cold so I think thinner oils are advised for fuel economy. I only had the CRV to repair the head gasket and then sell on.

[@chocolate_squiggle]

I was *positive* I'd read 4.2L for my 2.4L engine. Was super confused with your 5.3L listed. Turns out that's prescribed amount for engine overhaul. Which I think you did, from your comments about doing the head gasket. But you also listed this as a 2.0L engine, so not sure if the amounts are the same. Anyway I"ll continue on with my 4.2L now.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Hi the Haynes Manual says 4.2 litres for an "Change" and 5.3 litres for "Total" for the 2 litre petrol. I presume 5.3 is a totally dry engine maybe.

[@NOYNOY29]

Hi, How do I know which part number to buy online,like this oil filter? thanks

[@CoatsandGaiters]

I normally use ebay and do a search using the number plate of the car. It's normally done on that or the chassis number.

@@CoatsandGaiters what if they recommend same parts but different number? sorry being a pain. thanks a lot

[@CoatsandGaiters]

@@NOYNOY29 car parts are a bit of a nightmare I find. They often have different numbers for no good reason other than charging more. I normally search for the number on the original part I’m removing or just go by number plate look up.

[@ptwrmakes1849]

You're a legend mate... When I did my Mini R50 subframe rebuild it was your videos that saved me... And then we buy a CR-V and you once again save the day.... I also changed the VTEC solenoid, was still getting a P1259, so I ran a flush through, drained it (somehow pulled out over 6 litres of oil... That may have been part of the issue) filled it with some cheap and nasty oil from B&M, took it for a run and then drained it again... This time changed the oil filter, took off the solenoid and cleaned the screen and throughout the unit, refilled with a quality 5w40 and even added a little slick50 for good measure as she's got over 220k on the clock, just got back from my second run and according to Torque on my phone (OBD via Bluetooth) not only do I have better temperatures but I got that K20 to siiiiiiiing with no coding... Thank you so much!

[@CoatsandGaiters]
