Hey guise, mind telling me your oil change intervals?

My car is asking me to change my oil despite it being only driven for 4.5k km. I'm a little puzzled.

Was told by my SA it is due to my driving style, truthfully i don't even floor it, always relaxed driving. Only that it is 90% in city driving. My other cars have never acted this way, even my conti is still ok at every 10k km. I thought there would be less maintenance issue with a jap car.

Hi, I am no expert in car stuff, but is your CRV 1.5L Turbocharged?

One Honda SA told me depending on conditions, the Turbocharged engine will dry up the engine oil, so the service interval may be shorter than the normal type of engine.

As I am staying in Penang, where traffic jam is daily affair, the 2.0L CRV is under my consideration beside the 2.0L CX5.

So is the 2.0 NA CRV a better choice over the 1.5T CRV for city driving? When there is a lot of jam on daily basis, I guess the higher power is not important but the fuel consumption and maintenance interval/cost become the priority.

Actually from what I read, more specifically, is short driving cycle is not ideal for turbocharged engine, probably not enough cooling for the engine oil.

This one needs engine expert to give more accurate inputs.

I am getting the CRV 2.0. Hated the rims and plan to change it. By doing that, will it have any effect on the warranty?

Yeah agree, the 2.0L rim looks like Hibiscus flower. But the 1.5L TC one though slightly better, also not that good looking either...

Hi guys, for those of you who bought CRV and have kids, do you purchase the original running boards from Honda which cost 2.6K?
