isn't it the service minder is A-B-A-B
how do you prolong A?

hi guys, in term of maintenance. what you guys think of the comparison between CRV 1.5THP with Harrier 2.0 (Recon)

Driving pattern shud be able to i think. Need to monitor how much it affects. Haha

Others conti car normally service at 10K or 6 months, whichever come first.
The longest one as I know like Benz or VW, 12K-15K or 1 years, whichever come first.

To my understanding, TCP service interval could be A-AB-A-AB, in which sometime B could be done with A.
Was told by SA that Service A only do engine oil change without changing the oil filter while B changes both.
So basically 10K service interval is BS, Honda used to be 5K/3 months interval back then and I don't see any different this time around.

One SA told me, the Service A is to top up engine oil, not change. I am not sure how true is it.

change la

sorry, new to turbo engine.
top up engine oil, means the engine leak out?? vaporize? and need to top up?

I really dont know. This is what I have been told.

Mine is 2.0.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about in regards to Service A and Service B. Care to elaborate further please?

I just checked my car instrument panel. I have only 747km in Odometer but I have 2700km to go to oil change??! what the heck? Confuse!

what? he's going to log 200+km in your car?! like that also can?

shouldn't be
probably go check and reset during your first 1000 service

SA map test drive max speed

Curious, right?

@Neo_Y is also kinda low at 3,500km.... hmmm..

Out of curiosity, do you guys remember your car's clocked km when you first got the car? I don't.

Btw, anyone here know where can get the latest crv owner manual in pdf?

Yalo, all my new car's virginity has been given to him

To my knowledge, honda's turbo engine is monitored by the computer when the oil change is required which we cannot ignore therefore there is service A. Service B is the regular service every 10k or 6 mth whichever comes first.

On service A, it should be the driving pattern and also traffic condition. The frequent oil change shall prolong the engine life. i was told by many people that most turbo engine which operate on high pressure/temp will result the engine oil to vaporize (or reduced) overtime. According to the honda SC which service A is to change the oil and not top up. I am not sure if our engine is designed in such way and the frequent change can really help to prolong the engine lifetime since other conti turbo engines doesnt have such requirement.

Most new cars nowadays on NA engine will last 10k or 6mth. Only those old ones requires 5k service.

Hope it helps to clarify

Does it mean if we regularly top up, the service trigger will hot happen and can service every 10k?

I am not sure. Maybe we can monitor the dip stick level at the engine.

Try to read a bit at civic club page for more understanding as civic got the 1.5 tc engine much earlier than crv. They have quite a bit of explanation on the turbo engine for better idea

Anyone does overhead dvd player?

Funny thing - I swear I didn't see this blinking red light at the dashboard for the past 3 weeks but I saw it today! Hmmmm... probably an indication the car is locked and armed with alarm (or not since I didn't install any alarm)... anyone notice this or it escaped you as well?
