CRV po sir

Sinama na yung sparks cleaning sa oil change and i think it was not a bad add-on service, right?

Just got my wife's 2017 CRV first oil change & sparks cleaning. Total was 4.9k sa Pili branch. Fuel improved from 8.9 to 11km/l (according to onboard computer) but it will be higher if i relied driving in cruise control mode. The power of the turbo is addicting hehe.

Mga di naitanong sa kasa:

1. may bayad din ba wheel/tire rotation? will DIY void warranty?
2. will self-servicing/DIY spark plugs cleaning void warranty?
3. how much torque for the wheel lug nuts?

TY folks

The 2017 CRV has a turbo?

Yes. Almost certain to be offered is a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder similar to the one that debuted in Honda’s redesigned 2016 Civic. At 174 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, it would trail the naturally aspirated 2.4-liter 4-cylinder that’s the fourth-generation CR-V’s sole engine. The 2.4-liter has 185 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, but most drivers would probably be happier with the way the turbo 1.5 produces power at lower engine speeds, which makes for quicker, strong throttle response around town and on the highway. Honda could well offer the ’17 CR-V with two engine choices: a naturally aspirated version in the lower-priced trim levels and the turbo 1.5 in upper grades. It does just that in the Civic, with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder rated at 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. Expect a continuously variable transmission to continue in place of a conventional automatic. And a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (awd) for all trim grades will repeat.

Turbo is activated when you step on the gas pedal-to-the-metal or 4k rpm range.

I understand that you're enthusiastic about having a turbo in your CRV. We all want that.

However, I'm certain that your CRV still uses the 2.0L R20 engine. This is what an R20 looks like, and it's identical to the pictures you posted:

The turbo engine you're referring to is Honda's 1.5 Earth Dreams. This is what it looks like:

The "Earth Dreams" logo is prominently displayed, and the turbo is visible. In the pictures you posted, there's not a hint of a turbo.

The R20 engine really feels livelier after 4000 rpm because that's how most Honda engines are - tepid at low revs and peppy at high revs.

We're also in the market for a new Honda and I would've known if there was a turbo CRV because we've been talking to the GMs of Honda dealerships directly. I can say with 100% certainty that Honda PH is not selling CRVs with turbos.

Nah, overpriced, and at the end of the day, still a Civic.

Car's not for me though.

oh man, sorry na po hehe

iVTEC lang ba yung pumapalo na parang turbo? kapag kasi oovertake ako i-didiin ko lang yung pedal tapos ayun para nang rocket yung CRV.
