I own two Honda's and trust me, never leave your maintenance to a computer! Technology fails a a HIGH rate! Do 5k oil changes and do other fluid changes at half the intervals Honda or any other manufactures recommend! Or don't, you do you!
Anything over a 5k oci is asking for trouble. The manufacturer recommended intervals is the minimum maintenance to get car through warranty period, not to make it last as long as possible. Do proper maintenance for maximum longevity.
It seems from all the tribologists (mechanical friction and lubrication experts) I’ve watched and read, these new oil change intervals are a bit arbitrary, even the so called algorithmic oil life percentages presented on the dash. To them it’s more of an EPA box checking exercise designed to lower the manufacture’s “carbon footprint” and not something that is best for the actual engine. It’s adequate to get them through the warranty time frame but inadequate for long term engine maintenance. I am currently dealing with dealership pushback when trying to change oil at earlier then “recommended” intervals. When they ask why and I cordially explain my position they effectively just roll their eyes. I will just have to do it myself or find a local mechanic who will do the oil change no questions asked.
I still change my oil every 5000 miles and by passed that stupid stop start ,because its hard on head gaskets with the Exstream heat and cold cycling during city driving
I did my own oil change recently on my Honda odyssey and was surprised when I only got 5quarts out when 5.7 went in. Im going to keep a closer eye on my oil levels from here on out.
If I still choose to change my oil every 5000 miles will that that mess up the sync with all the other maintenance items. Currently my 2023 CRV EX-L has gone 3500 miles and it's still at 80%. It seems that I have some oil dilution since it shows oil to the end of the orange on the dipstick and smells a bit like gasoline. It worries me that going all the way to 15% may cause long term problems.
I have the same issue, 2009 Fit, driven 6500 miles and the oil life is still showing 50%! Most of those miles were on the highway, but still, I don't think I will wait until the oil life is 15% before changing the oil.
Just keep a mile/date log for your maintenance items and do a 5k OCI (3k OCI if you have fuel in oil). I would ignore the computer for oil changes and just reset if its alerting you.
Can you please let me know tell me i have 2018 honda crv lx awd when should i change oil transmission and rear differental oil after how many miles please let me know i do drive every day stop and go around 150 miles

I'd like to see this video in full for the valuable information

yes sir! I do 1k on new vehicle then 5k all the time.
Every 3-4k is the sweetspot for longevity of an engine
I stay as close to 3K as close as possible. 13 RDX, And 21 4Runner here..
@@sanderpena I read there is a special oil used on a new car that you do not want to change out right away to let it help break in the car.

Thanks for posting this - it answered questions I didn't know I should be asking.
What happens when your Oil Life goes to 0%? In theory, how much lnger can you drive it safely? Model is Civic lx, 2020

Since your 2023 CRV has GDI and a Turbo engine, I think it's definitely a good idea to change the oil more frequently, about every 5k miles or so.

30,000 miles for those
With oil dilution issue with direct injection shit. Oil will rise
That fuel in oil really destroys it's ability to properly lubricate the engine. I would do 3-4k OCI on these engines.
