What is my 2011 Honda CR-V’s oil type?

My dad offered to change my oil for me, but I don’t know what type he should get. Can you help? What kind of oil do I need for a 2011 Honda CR-V?

It’s great having a dad who can
help with car maintenance
! The 2011 Honda CR-V’s oil type is 0W-20. That’s the type he should look for when shopping for engine oil.
If he doesn’t use the right type of oil, there could be serious consequences that include:
  • Overheating issues
  • Poor engine lubrication
  • Transmission failure
Uh-oh! None of that sounds like anything you want to deal with! Luckily, as long as you use the right oil, changing your oil at home can be a great way to help you cut down on car maintenance expenses. Even better, keeping your engine well-maintained can help you avoid costly vehicle repairs in the first place!
As your vehicle ages, though, you may run into some problems you can’t fix on your own. Consider shopping for
mechanical breakdown insurance
to help cover expensive bills from the mechanic.
Mechanical breakdown insurance helps cover wear and tear on your vehicle, unlike standard
car insurance
, which only protects you in case of a qualifying incident, like an accident. You can easily add to your policy with
