    Engine

    The vehicle was recalled and the service completed by the dealer for the issue of fuel getting into the engine oil. I drove the vehicle 1500 miles of which 1000 miles was higway travel over 2 days. Now the oil dip stick level is one inch above the 'max fill dot'. The owners manual states 'do not fill the engine oil above the upper mark.' 'over flling the engine oil can result in leaks and engine damage.'

    Engine · Fuel/Propulsion System

    Fuel is getting into the oil causing dilution. My oil level has increased as a result of that and it can cause the oil to loose viscosity which won't make the oil as effective on the engine and can cause long term engine damage. This is happening in southern california. I had to get my oil change early at less than 3500 miles because the smell of oil and oil level increase was bad.

    I purchased my 2018 honda cr-v ex-l in december of 2017. I noticed within a couple of weeks that the engine temperature gauge was extremely slow to climb, and oftentimes would "lose" temperature on colder days. I spent time testing the conditions when the temperature gauge would fluctuate so i would have additional information to provide the dealership. I would drive both stop-and-go, as well as on the highway for…
