What oil should you put in a Honda CR-V?

Based on the search results, the type of oil you should put in a Honda CR-V depends on the specific engine and model year of your vehicle. Here are the general guidelines:
– For Honda CR-V models with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (from 2007 onwards), the recommended oil is a quality 5W-40 either synthetic or semi-synthetic.
– For Honda CR-V models with a two-liter petrol engine (from 2012 to 2017), the first choice is a 0W-20 oil, but a 5W-30 is also allowable for engines of that size.
– It is important to use the correct oil filter along with the oil change. For the 2.4-liter petrol engine and the two-liter petrol engine, the recommended filter is a Ryco (or equivalent) Z411.
