Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-07-18
When to change the oil on a 2016-2025 (1.8L / 2.0L NA) Honda HR-V, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Maintenance Minder (~7,500 mi) |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 1.8L (2016-2022) or 2.0L NA (2023+); 0W-20 full synthetic; CVT; Maintenance Minder |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Honda HR-V note: Unlike its V6 Honda siblings, the HR-V's small NA engine uses a CHAIN — and a CVT, so the key item is proactive CVT fluid (~30-50k). No timing belt to worry about.
