I have 2003 Honda CR-V with 118 k , changed motor oil , ravenol 5w40 what is the changing interval for oil

you need to change the fluid in the rear axle the fluid helps the clutches get the fluid from the dealer if you can change engine oil then you can change the rear diff fluid as well

Everyone will have an opinion on brands..VW recommends 5w40 synthetic at 10,000 mile intervals.. (505.00 spec) You can use any weight you want as long as it is a 505.00 spec oil.. but 5w40 will is a good all season all around way to go.

505.01is backward compatibles so to speak.. just an fyi.

Castrol Syntec 5w40(Only available at VW Dealer) or Mobile 1 TDT (Turbo Diesel Truck) 5w40 are two you can rely on doing a good job.

You can find the Mobile 1 TDT at most auto parts stores.. I would recommend you use the Volkswagen Filter or one made by Mann, they also make a respectable one equal to or according to some better than the VW.

The opinions are all over the place on oil brands but all agree on sticking with one that meets the 505.00 spec.. and most generally agree on using the factory filter or a really well made aftermarket one as mentioned.. If you don't want to spend the hours reading all the postings.. stop by the dealer and pick up the standard VW version.

Also most folks nowadays agree on keeping to the mfg recommended intervals.. unless you are operating in harsh environments..typically the mfg has recommendations for that as well.

Which oil is the best.. Take your pick of the major brands as long as they meet the spec's.. The two I mention have better "soot capture" ability therefore may better protect your pollution control devices.

Best of luck!

The average oil change is every 3,000 miles

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE OIL LIFE % ON MY 2009 CRV ?

No. Contaminated rear diff fluid causes this noise while making sharp turns. By changing your service interval to every 15k miles will keep the noise under control.

Lots of eork for an 03 . SECOND OPINION!!!

Change it every 10k miles. You have to use 5W40 FULL SYNTHETIC oil. Not just any oil! You can buy Shell Rotella T 5w40 or Mobil1 5w40 Turbo Diesel Truck oil at Walmart. Both of these oils meet VW's TDI oil requirements.

Honda recommends Honda ATF-Z1 Transmission Fluid or a Dexron III ATF as a temporary replacement -- which should be flushed from the system and replaced with the Honda ATF-Z1.

Change;
2WD model -- 3.1 US QT or 2.9 L.
4WD model -- 3.3 US QT or 3.1 L.

Total;
2WD model -- 6.9 US QT or 6.5 L.
4WD model -- 7.6 US QT or 7.2 L.

CHANGE THE MOTOR ITS NO GOOD

after the oil was changed the maintenance light stayed on. I did this before and the Honda dealership helped me and the trip button was the part of the solution. i tried the suggestion above and it did not work.
