Honda CR-V leaking oil? Before spending hundreds of dollars on an oil pan reseal, check the oil filter housing gasket first.
In this video I show how to replace the oil filter housing gaskets on a 2013 Honda CR-V LX with the 2.4L engine. This is a common leak point and can often be repaired with an inexpensive gasket set.
In this step-by-step DIY repair I cover:
🔧 Raising and securing the vehicle
🔧 Draining the engine oil
🔧 Removing the oil filter housing
🔧 Replacing the MAHLE GS33532 gasket set
🔧 Proper gasket lubrication and installation
🔧 Oil filter replacement
🔧 New crush washer installation
🔧 Oil drain bolt torque
🔧 Oil filter housing torque sequence
🔧 Refilling with 4.2 quarts of 0W-20 oil
🔧 Final leak inspection and verification
Parts Used:
✅ MAHLE Original Engine Oil Filter Adapter Gasket GS33532
✅ Honda Oil Filter Housing 15310-R40-A00 (reference)
✅ New Honda Crush Washer
