I have owned a CRV Diesel for 2.5 years and have just received from a Honda UK dealer an interim 6,000 service notification with a discount charge total of £49.99 using Mobile 1 oil.

When I purchased this in 2005 55 plate diesel CRV and was never told it needed a 6,000 miles first service even when I said I would be averaging 12,000 per year. I was told the first oil change would be 12,000 and I paid £200.

I have only had two oil changes every 12,000 so two so far so in my case explains why the engine is quite noisy now if the engine should have had two more services in this period.

I am also told the noise from the engine as I press on the clutch peddle is normal crank thrust play, not something I wanted to hear having rebuilt a few engine myself, I would always shim the crankshaft correct in the first place to avoid this using the correct thrust washer to avoid this noise from happening in the first place.
