What can low oil do to my Honda CR-V engine?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your CR-V’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Honda oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my Honda CR-V exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

What can cause the oil light on my Honda CR-V to illuminate?

If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Honda CR-V oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Honda CR-V?
