Today, this short video will show you how to change the engine oil and oil filter on your Honda CR-V. It is not a very complex operation; just take some care, and you can do it without needing a specialist. First, remove the oil filler cap (to avoid creating a vacuum when you remove the oil drain plug).

Now, proceed to remove the oil drain plug (place a container under your Honda CR-V to catch the oil). Meanwhile, remove the oil filter using a ratchet and replace it with a new one. After ensuring all the old oil has drained, you can refit the drain plug and proceed to top up with new oil.
