The complete 5th-generation Honda CR-V maintenance schedule for 2017–2022—covering the 1.5L turbo and the 2020–2022 Hybrid, with Maintenance Minder codes, genuine Honda OEM part numbers, AWD rear differential service, and how short trips change the oil chart. Bookmark it—or let Carmainty remind you before Minder codes pile up.
Quick reference
Planning map for 5th-gen CR-V. Minder still rules day-to-day timing; this table shows what usually shows up next. Treat mileage figures as typical ranges, not fixed targets, and use the severe-use section if your CR-V lives on short trips, hills, or towing.

Powertrain-specific — don’t mix up your parts
Gas 1.5T and Hybrid CR-Vs share the same oil filter and drain washer, but engine air filters differ. Using the wrong airbox element is the most common ordering mistake on this generation.
LX · EX · EX-L · Touring (FWD & AWD)
15400-PLM-A0294109-1400017220-5AA-A0080292-TF0-G01Short-trip owners: see the oil dilution section. AWD adds rear differential service (Minder 6).

15400-PLM-A0294109-1400017220-5K0-A0080292-TF0-G01Do not use the 1.5T air filter. Hybrid transmission fluid and rear-drive service follow the HEV section of your manual.
Detailed schedule
Expand each item for OEM numbers, capacities, and owner notes. Always confirm fitment for your year, engine, and drivetrain.
Per Maintenance Minder · at least yearly
2017–2022 1.5T CR-Vs commonly take 0W-20 and about 3.7 qt (3.5 L) with filter. Hybrid capacity is similar but confirm on the cap. Short-trip 1.5T owners should check oil level often.
Maintenance Minder calculates oil life from engine load, temperature, and trip patterns. Reset it after every service, and log the change in Carmainty so you can spot oil-level creep between visits.
15400-PLM-A02Genuine Honda filter for most 5th-gen 1.5T and Hybrid CR-Vs.
94109-14000Replace every oil change.
Every oil service
AWD CR-Vs need consistent rotations. Mismatched tread depths can stress the rear differential—an expensive repair compared with free rotations at oil-change time.
Inspect pads, rotors, and brake fluid level at the same visit. Hybrids use regenerative braking so pads can last longer, but rotors still need a look.
Minder item 2
Cabin filter is usually behind the glove box. Engine air filter part numbers differ between 1.5T gas and Hybrid—don’t mix them.
Replace earlier in dusty areas, wildfire smoke, or pollen season. A clogged cabin filter weakens HVAC airflow and can cause a musty smell.
80292-TF0-G01Common 5th-gen cabin element. Honda may list 80291-TF3-E01 as a later supersession—confirm fitment.
17220-5AA-A001.5L turbo gas CR-V only—not the Hybrid element.
17220-5K0-A002.0L Hybrid airbox—do not use the 1.5T filter.
Minder item 6 · AWD only
AWD CR-Vs need periodic rear differential fluid. Skipping it after hard use, towing, or mountain driving is a common path to howling diffs. Hybrid AWD is especially sensitive to mismatched tire depths.
Use the Honda-specified AWD fluid for your model. Confirm the exact fluid and interval in your owner’s manual or with your Honda parts counter.
Minder item 3
Most 5th-gen CVT CR-Vs want Honda HCF-2. Mountainous low-speed driving, heavy stop-and-go, and towing can justify earlier transmission service than the Minder alone.
Honda HCF-2Genuine Honda CVT fluid. Hybrid: confirm fluid spec in the HEV section of your manual.
Minder 4 / 5 / 7
Spark plugs, coolant, and brake fluid appear as numbered Minder items. Honda uses long-life Type 2 coolant—never mix coolant types. Brake fluid is due on Minder 7 or about every 3 years.
Spark plug part numbers are not listed here on purpose: confirm the correct plug for your engine and VIN on honda.oempartsonline.com or with your Honda parts counter.
1.5T turbo — the one to watch
Honda’s Minder assumes mixed driving. On the 1.5L turbo, repeated short trips—especially in cold weather—can leave unburned fuel in the crankcase because the engine never fully warms up. That thins the oil and can raise the dipstick level above full.
Warning signs: oil level rising between changes, a fuel smell on the dipstick, or oil that looks thin. Check level monthly, change oil sooner than the Minder suggests if your trips are mostly under 10 minutes, and ask a Honda dealer whether any service campaigns or software updates apply to your VIN.
2020–2022 CR-V Hybrid & AWD
The 2020–2022 CR-V Hybrid uses the same oil filter and drain washer as the 1.5T, but a different engine air filter (17220-5K0-A00) and its own transmission and hybrid-system service items. Follow the HEV section of your manual rather than copying the gas CVT schedule.
Hybrid AWD: confirm the rear differential service item and fluid in your manual or with Honda parts. Mismatched tire depths still stress the driveline, so keep rotations on schedule. Brake pads often last longer with regen, but brake fluid is still time-based.

The real math
Neglected AWD differential → unit replacement
Vs. fluid service a few hundred dollars
$2,000–$4,000+
Wrong transmission fluid → CVT/auto failure
Vs. correct Honda fluid service
$4,000–$7,000+
Oil dilution ignored → engine wear
Vs. timely oil changes and level checks
$3,000–$6,000+
Wrong engine air filter for powertrain → poor airflow

People also ask
When Maintenance Minder says so—often between 5,000 and 10,000 miles (8,000–16,000 km)—or at least yearly. Severe short-trip use favors shorter intervals, especially on 1.5T where around 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 6 months is a sensible precaution.
Oil filters usually match (15400-PLM-A02), but engine air filters differ: 17220-5AA-A00 (1.5T) vs 17220-5K0-A00 (Hybrid). Cabin is commonly 80292-TF0-G01 (or 80291-TF3-E01).
Rear differential fluid (Minder item 6). Keep tire tread depths matched across all four corners. Hybrid AWD models should follow the HEV section of the owner’s manual.
Fuel dilution is a known risk on small turbo engines used mostly for short, cold trips. Check the dipstick monthly, watch for rising level or a fuel smell, change oil sooner than the Minder if your trips are short, and ask a Honda dealer whether any service campaigns apply to your VIN.
Gas CVT CR-Vs use Honda HCF-2. Never use generic ATF. Hybrid models should follow the HEV section of the manual—confirm fluid by VIN.
Plugs differ between the 1.5T and the Hybrid, so this page does not guess a number. Look up your VIN on honda.oempartsonline.com or ask your Honda parts counter. Replacement is a Minder item 4 service.
