If you are asking if they make oil specialy designed for the CRV, no. Honda makes Honda oil. Honda recomends you use honda oil but thats bull. You can use any synthetic oil on that CRV. I would suggest Mobile one or Royal Purple. Be sure to use the recomended weight oil.

There is no CRV specific oil - Any 5w30 synthetic oil can be used - I stick with Mobil 1. VALVOLINE makes HONDA oil!

I went to the local automotive store and Mobil 1 has a
synthetic oil they say can be used for CRVs - it is 0w-20.
They (Mobil1) does not sell the exact weight called for in
the manual. Do you think using the 0W-20 will be a problem?

If your driving a newer CRV that requires 5w-20, 0w-20 will work. If 5w-30 is recommended then I would not use 0w-20, 0w-30 would be ok. Must be a small parts store - 5w-30 is one of the most common oils.
