Hello,
My name is Rich we ( my wife Linda of 55 years ) live in N.J and we are the owners of a 2022 Honda CR V touring with 10,500 miles on her. I am 78 and have serviced all of my vehicles, cars, trucks , tractors etc. I built our home from the ground up in 1972 with the guidance and help from Linda's dad. I worked in Nestles coffee plant until I retired in 2016 after 45 years there. We had previous Hondas, a 1998 Civic and a 2015 CR V touring . Previous Toyota's are a 1982 4X4, which I still have that plows snow to get us out of our 1/4 mile dirt road to a main back road. A 2002 Highlander , a 1992 4x4 Toyota truck that I gave to my oldest twin son, and he still has it on the road. And I have a 2016 Toyota Limited 4x4 truck.
I have changed the oil twice now on her car ( Mobil 1 - 0 -20 ) and Honda filters, the first change at 3800 and the next at 7513. I know , I probably did them a bit too soon according to the book but the oil turned black both times at around 700 to a 1000 miles. I now know the turbo's effect on oil. Am I being too critical of this. If I did extend the changes I would not go beyond 4,500 - 5,000 miles. I have read a few things that have opened my eyes with this engine, should I be this critical ?? Any members here have anything to educate me on the 1.5 turbo engine ?
Thank you Much !!
Rich K
