I just bought a 2013 CR-V 2.4 with 72k on the clock. According to the service records it has had regular oil changes from the dealer. When i change the oil I will be taking a sample. It calls for 0w-20 what seems to be the recommended oil for the 2.4 these days. Thanks

I did some research and spme people said to replace the PCV valve. we will see if that makes any difference. Can anyone point me to an oil with a low volatility. Preferably not in the ultra high end category like amsoil etc.
Thanks
The above is from another thread. Did you trade in the Soul? Supertech synthetic will be a good oil for the CRV. I think it's around $14 and change per jug on rollback at Walmart right now.

Quaker State Ultimate Durability 0W20 runs super smooth in mine.
You can stick with 0W-20 or switch to 5W-20 or 5w30. It's your choice. Are you going to stick to Super Tech or something else? What Filters do you normally use?
I wasnt set on the supertech. curious as to what seemed to be the consensus a s a good oil for it. I was going to use wix xp. Would there be something better to use? not sure if the 2.4 is picky about filters like the hyundai kia engines.
Bang for the buck -- Super Tech Synthetic 0W20.
I like M1 for cleanliness. Give it a shot with a decent filter.
I have M1, Quaker State, Valvoline and ST in the garage.

Any SN 0w20 or 5w20 will be fine for your CRV
The OEM Honda A02 oil filter is a Fram PH7317, but you can always upgrade to a more premium filter if you wish. Napa has the Platinum on sale for $5.99, if your store still has any on hand. Part #47356. It is equivalent to a Fram Ultra for the price of a TG.
Since you have the MM, my choice would be the cheapest synthetic on sale and a Fram PH7317, but in this case the Platinum is on sale, so use that filter instead. You can follow the OCI suggested by the MM with no problem.

Have used a variety of oils in both my wives and sons 2014 CRV with the 2.4 that include Pennzoil, Quaker State, but mostly Kendall. All of them 0w-20. Both run fine with the 0w-20 in the cold winters as well as the hot summers. THEY do prefer the Honda filters.
Go BF cheap RGT 0W-20 after rebate $7.26
