The new generation of crv vehicles have a significant problem regarding oil dilution with fuel and other liquids. This is a serious problem and can result in premature engine failure as well as other problems. We shouldn't have to change our oil every 500 miles just to make sure it isn't too high. Honda is aware of this problem, yet they are slacking on finding a fix. This problem may potentially be affecting…

The 1.5 l turbo engine develops high oil level readings due to fuel contamination. I had several (12) system failure notices appear simultaneously. I took the car to the dealer and they stated that they "found that oil level was over full and smelled like fuel". Also noticed that in cold weather, while driving, the front defroster is not warm enough and can't keep windshield clear resulting in poor or no visibility.…

My 2017 honda cr-v it's a new broche with only 3,800 miles and i'm very concerned about the oil level raising drastically, so bad that i had to do an oil chance at only 3,000 miles when the first service was supposed to be done at 5,000 miles. It's been 800 miles since the oil change and the oil level is well above the second mark on the dipstick with a strong gasoline odor, yes, for the little experience i have…

2017 honda cr-v engine oil level rising, within 2000 miles of driving, past top of orange plastic dipstick which would indicate an oil level more than 1/2 quart high after being filled correctly by dealer to the 3.7 quart high level mark. This oil dilution (most likely with gasoline as the oil is not turning white as when water enters the oil) reduces the viscosity of the 0-20w oil which could lead to engine bearing…

Bought this 2017 crv exl-nav awd in 05/2017. We did the first maintenance on march 17 to chance oil in the dealership and they found there is oil leakage. They scheduled a another day to fix it by adding some silica glue under warranty. I can not believe a new car within 1 year and 8000 miles has oil leaking issue. Reliability is the main reason i bought honda, now i am so disappointed.

Gas is leaking into crankcase and diluting the engine oil therefore raising the oil level above the max fill line. Engine oil has gas odor and oil seems thinner due to dilution with gasoline.

After the oil change, i researched the issue and discovered that many people (2017 honda crv owners with the 1.5 turbo engine) in the usa had this problem. The…
