I own a 2017 honda cr-v 1.5 turbo fwd and my vehicle is suffering from the affects of 'oil dilution.' i regularly have my oil changed by honda, but i noticed, upon returning from a long trip in northern inidiana over winter, a strong odor of gasoline when checking my oil-dipstick and the volume was much higher than expected. When i brought my vehicle to honda, i was advised that honda was aware of a problem for all…

Engine oil dipstick shows oil level above full and smells of gas. Honda dealer claims no knowledge of a problem although it is well known in internet auto blogs. I had my oil tested at blackstone laboratories and the report states it contains 3.3% of fuel and 'a fair amount of metal present', and a flashpoint of 305 degrees when it should be above 370. This is a new car with only 3534 miles on it. Oil diluted with…

The oil dipstick is showing the oil level to be substantially higher than the max oil level. I took it to the honda dealer 1/2/19. They showed me a service bulletin indicating that gas could be mixing with the oil, but honda considered that a normal operating condition for that model. They offered no solution to the problem, but did change the oil at my request. I consider gas mixing with the crankcase oil a serious…

Checked my oil level it was above the max level. The oil indicator says we have 10% oil life. And the oil smells like gasoline. Went to the dealer they said it's not a problem. They gave us a speech that it's normal to have gas that leaks to the oil and it will evaporate. Our other cars doesn't. It hasn't affected the car yet but just concern that something will happen while i'm driving.

Upon seeing all of the complaints about the 1.5 liter turbo engine in the cr-v's and civics, i inspected the oil in my 2017 honda cr-v only 100 miles after it was changed by the local honda dealer. I pulled out the dipstick and noticed that the oil level was over the recommended limit and it was very dark in color. I leaned into the engine and noticed a strong presence of a gasoline smell. I have also noticed the…

My 2017 honda crv has fuel in the oil, confirmed by dealership. The last time i had it to dealership they confirmed it had 2 quarts of fuel in the crankcase oil . This is a hazard because the engine could overheat and lock up as i drive, which could lead to an accident. This also lowers the value of my car. The dealership can't fix it! I have driven the car approximately 800 miles since last oil change . It is…

After noticing a strong smell of gasoline in the cabin, i checked the oil level and found the dipstick indicated the oil level was about 1/2-1 quart too high. Since i had the oil change by a dealer about 2500 mile back and i had checked the oil level after the oil change, i found this oil level reading puzzling. Then i smelled the dipstick and notice a strong gasoline odor from the oil. I am now worried about the…
