Glad to hear thank you.

 

New to this forum. Hi guys. I received my 2017 CRV 1.5 Turbo Charged about 3 weeks ago. The car was just launched in Malaysia by Honda and I'm one of the first batch of proud owners.

I have just been using the car for 3 weeks. My mileage is just 747km. But when I check the wench icon, it shows that I'm 2700km to oil change. This is a surprise to me because my dealer told me that it's typical of around 8000km-10,000km before an oil change. Mine was just too low and he's not sure and asked me to check the car in with a service center.

Anyone faced this before?

 

My Vehicle was made in Thailand and is a RHD model. I assume yours is also RHD since in Malaysia they also drive on the Left.
I get the same kind of oil indication like yours. I am not sure what the total was at the start because my MM was stuck, but that's a long story. Once I got it fixed I had about 3400 Km remaining and had driven about 500Km at the time. So yes it was pretty close to yours.

BTW your dealer is lying! The oil recommend change level in the Thailand based manual is a maximum of 5000Km or 3000 miles. I have no idea why the same engine sold in the USA get a recommendation of 10K miles! I will go with what the Autoexpert John Cadagon said and just assume that they do not want to be labeled as trying to rip off the customers by making extra money off of recommending sooner oil changes to a public who has become use to 10K oil changes so they are sticking to 10K standard. IMHO change the oil at 5000KM or even 4000KM and I would recommend the same in NA. Change the oil at 3000 miles.

That's weird; in the US, we don't even have a "distance to change" display... instead, we just get a "% Oil Life Remaining" display. In any case, yeah, that is super-low for oil life.

 

So, what could be possible cause? I don't get stuck in traffic jams and I don't let the engine idle. I do have a lot of road bumps in my daily commute so I do slow down and speed up, but that "driving style" should not account to such a drastic low oil life level.

 

1. will be changing my oil when the MM hits 0%, if you followed me I did my oil at about 1K, so I am on the safe side of things, before you throw a few words my way (wink)

2 the MM (maintenance Mider) Maintenance Reminder MR, not MM or is it? is not 100% accurate why does it not count 99,98,97 but at ten percent incriments (lol) (wink)

Those are some of my doings and thoughts coming up.

Our idiot light was smarter in ways it start to flash per 100 miles at the change out. Will this system flash the last 10% each 100 miles,? No. it is base on habit driving, there are more then one driver, the car is smart for a memory seat, but not smart for two driver's habits.

one is softer then the other so you think you get a longer mileage no its based on habits that hte computer can not telll who is driving Lol

The Maintenance Minder uses a predictive analysis algorithm based on a variety of engine sensor readings, however, since you are not driving the exact route, traffic, temperature etc every time, the algorithm would tend to jump around a bit (much like fuel consumption). The difficulty then would be on several drive you may have a lot of stop and go and short trips while on another you may be cruising down the highway for a few hours . In this example your oil degradation might jump 99,98,96,94,95, and be somewhat confusing. With a 10% increment the oil degradation is simple to follow, unlikely to have an upward bounce and provides a good buffer point before oil change is required and is much more effective than the old time/mileage-based preventive maintenance.

Because the algorithm is based on actual use and compared to a reference model, it does not matter how many drivers there are or there individual styles. As more use occurs, the algorithm becomes more accurate.

As an example of how conditions can change even on the same route with the same driver:

temp variation: (the nyc area has seen 25F variation in morning temps this august. Wait until November!)

Luck: catching red lights is just one way you can decrease your oil life! (My fate, ALWAYS. LOL)

Bottom line: don't obsess.

 

Spent an hour getting that plate screw off. Going to find only a bolt and thread in there, so the next time i get under i deal with a nut, more to the nylon side or stainless steal.

 

On my Ridgeline truck, ever since new, the MM would reach 15% right around 7000 miles. It still looked pretty good, maybe not quite as light as yours though.
Let's hope the addition of fuel is not making the oil look lighter. Along that line, I think the safest thing to do is have an oil analysis done, and use that to help in making your decision. Maybe do it every other or third change just as a check.

The last time I did send a sample in just before a change on the truck, I got back a great report, and Blackstone's recommendation was to change it within the next 2000 miles, which should still give me plenty of margin. The only thing I did different after that, was to extend the MM to 10 or even 5%, which was still well under 1000 miles more.
