I have the dreaded 2017 CR-V 1.5 turbo engine, but live in the Arizona heat so think I avoid the major issues. *knocks on wood* Also, read somewhere that it was recommended to run a 30 weight oil, use 91 octane, and change the engine air filter every 10k miles to fight the dilution.....so been doing that too. Anyway, I'm on the hunt for my next oil to buy. I like the boutique oils and been running Amsoil SS 0w-30. I know it's probably a waste of monies but call me crazy, it's what I like to do. These are what I'm looking at:
Amsoil SS 5w-30
Schaeffer 9000 5w-30
High Performance Lubricants 5w-30 (Link) - this one is new to me, but saw they were a sponsor so figure I'd give it a look. Is this the website I would buy through?
What do you think? The oil will also be used in my 2006 F150 but that engine I'm not worried about.
Also side question not related to oil, has anyone got the software update for these engines? I've read about it but I never received anything from my dealership.
Thank you,
Vince
