This car has suffered from oil dilution with gasoline since it was purchased in august 2018. I have taken it to the dealer who changed the oil at my expense and claimed that increasing oil in the crankcase is normal and should be expected. The oil level increases about 1 quart for every 2000 miles driven and the oil smells like gasoline. This problem happens at all ambient temperatures, and regardless of whether the…

After driving my crv less than 500 miles the oil level is above the full indicator line and has a strong smell of gasoline. I've changed the oil three times in just under 2000 miles and each time the oil level rises again. I've eliminated short trips allowing the engine to run at least 20 minutes at full temperature and that has done no good. I've followed honda's suggestion to drive it in sport mode which also has…

Severe oil dilution in 1.5l turbo engine. Live/ drive in warm climate (new orleans). Level on dipstick continually climbs upward to greater than 21mm above full mark which translates to 24.7% dilution. We do not drive short trips...engine temperature gauge is up to normal within 3 blocks from our house and about 3 minutes after startup. We drive almost exclusively on interstate highways
