My Son had 8,100 miles on 2008 CR-V and is headed on a 2,000 mile plus trip next week. The system showed 40% usage left. During the trip there will not be time for him to visit a dealer whenever the oil mileage change indicator light comes "on". So they changed the oil/filter and checked the fluid levels today. He drives mostly on the highway and the dealer said the maintenance computer takes into account the driving conditions when it calculates the oil percentage. I'll bet your friends mileage is mainly highway miles!
 
On another subject, our local weather is turning cooler and the Low Tire Pressure Indicator light came on yesterday morning. The tire pressure was only 27 psi. When we adjusted it to 32 psi the light stayed off!

Isn't this in the owner's manual? The book says only .3 of a hour to replace so it can't be TOO hard.
 
I recall on the slightly older CR-Vs that you looked for two small covers to pry off that go over the tail light mounting screws. Then you pull the tail light assembly off the car. Then you twist out the offending bulb, pop in a new one and there you go.

I need to remove the front brake rotors on my 2006 4 WD CR-V.
Can anyone please tell me how to remove the rotors from the hub? I can't seem to get them off! If some one can clue me in I"d appreciate it!

Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
 
Remove the wheel caps, wheel nuts, and front wheel.
 
Remove the brake hose bracket mounting bolt.
 
Remove the caliper bracket mounting bolts, and remove the caliper assembly from the knuckle. To prevent damage to the caliper assembly or brake hose, use a short piece of wire to hang the caliper assembly from the undercarriage. Do not twist the brake hose with force.
 
Raise the stake and move and discard the spindle nut
 
 Remove the 6 mm brake disc retaining screws
 
 Screw two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts into the brake disc to push it away from the hub.
 
Turn each bolt two turns at a time to prevent cocking the disc excessively.

Remove the 6 mm brake disc retaining screws
 
You will need an impact driver to remove those 2 screws. DON'T EVEN ATTEMPT to remove then with a screw driver. You will ruin them, and will have to drill them out.
 
You can get a very inexpensive hammer driver impact driver from Sears or Harbor Freight for $20.

Go the extra and replace the screws while you're at it. A dab of anti-seize compound will make dissassembly easier the next time.

I've jost got my new CRV for three months. The current milage is about 5000 miles. A couple of days ago I started feeling vibration on the steering wheel and the driver's seat. The problem got worse when I reduced speed on highway. Can anyone please give me suggestions on what the problem might be and how to fix it. Really appreciate.

Bring the car in to the dealership or a tire place. My guess is a wheel is unbalanced or if you have steel rims that you have a dent in the wheel. No matter what it is, this is a new car and it shouldn't have any problems that wouldn't be covered under warranty except the dented rim.

I got the maintenance codes checked and they were ODBII PO134 code Sensor No Activity Bank1 Sensor1 and PO135 Code P0135 --Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction. I replaced one of the O2 sensors but im not sure whether it was the one in bank 1 or not since the light still remains on. Does anyone know where the sensor 1, bank 1 sensor is located? Is it just the very first sensor under the car, on the exhaust, towards the fender? Also what do you think the problem is, the actual sensors, the catalytic converter, or the car computer? I only have 50,000 miles and have regular oil changes, but the car does make a put-put cough noise in idle and the engine temperature is higher than normal, plus it does make a loud humming noise when taking off from low gears (it is automatic).
