# 2023-2025 Honda CR-V Oil Type and Capacity

The 2023-2025 Honda CR-V takes 0W-20 engine oil, 3.7 quarts with a filter change by engine. OEM filter Honda 15400-PLM-A02 (spin-on). Verified against factory documentation, with change intervals and aftermarket filter equivalents.

**Quick answer**: The 2023-2025 Honda CR-V (1.5L turbo 4-cylinder (L15BE, updated)) takes 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil, 3.7 quarts with a filter change (OEM filter Honda 15400-PLM-A02 (spin-on)). Other engines differ; see the tables below.

## 2023-2025 Honda CR-V 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder (L15BE, updated) oil (High confidence)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Viscosity | 0W-20 |
| Oil standard | API SP / ILSAC GF-6 |
| Capacity (with filter) | 3.7 qt / 3.5 L |
| Synthetic required | Yes |
| OEM filter | Honda 15400-PLM-A02 (spin-on) |
| Aftermarket filters | Fram XG7317 (Ultra), Wix 57356, Mobil 1 M1-110A |
| Change interval | Per Maintenance Minder (service at 15% oil life); yearly minimum |
| Drain plug torque | 29 ft-lbs |

Note: Same 3.7-qt fill as the 5th-gen 1.5T. The updated engine carries the redesigned software/hardware from the oil-dilution fixes; dilution complaints on this generation are far rarer but the monthly dipstick check is still smart in cold climates.

## 2023-2025 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid (LFC Atkinson + 4th-gen two-motor system) oil (High confidence)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Viscosity | 0W-20 |
| Oil standard | API SP / ILSAC GF-6 |
| Capacity (with filter) | 4.2 qt / 4 L |
| Synthetic required | Yes |
| OEM filter | Honda 15400-PLM-A02 (spin-on) |
| Aftermarket filters | Fram XG7317 (Ultra), Wix 57356 |
| Change interval | Per Maintenance Minder; 12-month minimum (hybrid engines age oil by time as much as miles) |
| Drain plug torque | 30 ft-lbs |

Note: 204 hp combined system output; the gas engine alone makes ~145 hp. AMSOIL/aftermarket data lists 4.2 qt with filter for the 2023+ LFC, slightly more than the 5th-gen hybrid's 4.0 qt. Verify on the dipstick.
