The 2017 Honda car uses SAE 0W-20 full synthetic oil for its engine. To change the oil, ensure the car has been off for a few hours to prevent burns from hot oil. Locate the oil pan and drain plug underneath the engine. Place a bucket under the plug and remove it to let the oil drain completely. Replace the plug when it stops dripping, this can take up to an hour. Next, find the intake port on the top of the oil pan and use a funnel to fill up the oil to the full mark, but do not overfill to avoid leaks and oil burn off. After filling, close the port, clean up any spills, and you’re done.

    The 2017 Honda HR-V is equipped with a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine that requires SAE 0W-20 full synthetic oil. With a dry filter, this SUV has an oil capacity of 3.9 quarts.

    This car requires 0w-20 oil. I typically purchase this oil and filter from Advance Auto or Auto Zone (just ask for assistance to ensure you get the right filter). If you plan on changing the oil yourself, you can use ramps to elevate the front wheels for easier access underneath the vehicle. Note that there might be a plastic panel underneath the engine that needs to be removed by unscrewing it to reach the drain plug and oil filter. After draining the oil, reinsert and tighten the drain plug. Dispose of the old filter, then lightly coat the new filter's rubber ring with oil before screwing it in. Use a filter wrench to securely tighten the filter without applying excessive force, just enough to prevent it from loosening. This car requires 3.9 quarts of oil, so monitor the oil level on the dipstick as you add oil gradually to avoid overfilling. Once you finish, carefully drive the car off the ramps and let it idle for a minute or two before driving off.
