    A few weeks ago, my wife and i were driving on the interstate and noticed a gasoline smell in the passenger compartment, which lasted a short period of time and went away. On another occasion we noticed the smell again. I checked the fuel fill tube but found no problem there. I also checked under the hood and detected a fuel smell but saw no evidence of a leak. While under the hood i checked the oil and smelled a…

    Fuel is making it's way into the oil system. Everytime i check the oil i can clearly smell gasoline on the dipstick. I know that honda has recalled 350,000 crvs in china for the same issue with the same 1.5 turbo engines however, when i tell the dealership or honda representatives about it they act as if it is an isolated incident. This will eventually cause premature wear on the engine and potentially become a…

    Gasoline getting into the oil. Dipstick read in between "the lines" on level ground. Drove 1500 miles (approx.) during a vacation.

Took car to dealer and was told honda is aware of the problem but doesn't know what to do…

    There is certainly an excess amount of gas mixed in engine oil. Only few weeks after oil change, the oil level is already 20 mm above the max line. It's certainly a design flaw and i think honda should be responsible for this mistake and the customers. It's huge safety concern and hope the relevant resources can take action to investigate this issue.
