Hello all.
I have recently bought a 2006 Honda CRV Mk2 2.2 CDTi. It was a company car driven by a neighbour of mine, I bought it direct from the lease company.
I am looking at doing a service and have come across conflicting information regarding engine oil spec.
The user manual states that the preferred oil is 0W-30 fully synthetic to a minimum of ACEA A1/B1. It also allows for other viscosities upto 10W-40. This information is repeated in the Haynes manual.
When I asked at the local Honda dealer, I was told that they use 10W-40 semi-synthetic oil.
I also found a 1 litre top-up bottle of oil in the boot, 10W-40 semi-synthetic. The previous owner told me that he was given one of these following each main-dealer service (although he generally used it in his lawn mower as the car didn't need topping-up).
Does anyone know what oil is best used in this engine (I guess it's the same in the Accord CDTi also)?
Any advice gratefully received.
