Honda’s Workshop/Service Manual for the 2017–2022 CR‑V (Lubrication System), the Honda Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for the 2021 model, and the 2021 Owner’s Manual (oil pressure indicator and lubrication system references) all identify an engine‑driven oil pump on both the 1.5‑litre turbo petrol and the 2.0‑litre hybrid petrol variants. The design is a gerotor/trochoid‑type pump driven off the crankshaft via a chain/module, supplying pressurised oil to bearings, timing components and valvetrain.
