We had a 2008 Honda CRV (with 160k) and LOVED it! Our daughter needed a car so we got a 2024 CRV EXL and LOVE IT! Been getting an oil change every 4-5 thousand miles at the dealer. Got a recall notice for the gear box, brought it and only took 1 1/2 hours. (Got an oil change at the same time). Only 18,000+ miles so far. Will change the CVT fluid at 60,000. Online it says to use 91 octane. That sounds excessive, but, with direct injection the top of the values don't get cleaned like they used to. The higher octane from Shell and Sonoco have been proven to help keep the values cleaner. But then we will only be using the car for about 5k a year from now on, so the price of gas and oil changes, etc is not a big deal. If this car goes as far as the last one, it just might out last me!
