My 2018 honda cr-v 1.5t engine is "making oil". I change my own oil and monitor the level weekly. The dealer told me that the oil dilution issue that i read about in consume reports would not affect me because i am in a warm climate (florida) but that is not true. The oil level on my dip stick rose about 3/8 of an inch in 5000 miles. I changed the oil and we took a trip to tennessee in the winter and the oil level…

Checked on-line and learned that many other owners had made the same observation, noting a strong odor of gasoline in the oil on the dipstick. Dealer acknowledged that 1.5 liter turbo engines are having this problem with increasing frequency. Dealer…

Gas and oil smell in passenger compartment. Gas is leaking into the engine oil causing overfill level. Oil leak on floor of garage. Fear gas in oil will cause premature wear of engine. Just found this was a known problem by honda in 2017 and 2018 models but still sold me the car. Taking car in. Bought new has 2100 miles now.

This vehicle is also experiencing the oil dilution issue. I am concerned about the longevity of the engine now since the gas in the oil is changing the viscosity of the oil.

Had an oil change at a grease monkey. They noted that the oil stick indicated that it was above full and smelled of gas. When draining the oil, they smelled a strong smell of gas as well. Oil and gas are mixing in the engine which is a known problem by honda for the 1.5l turbo engine which is in my car. I am concerned that that gas and oil mix will cause issues related to the engine and may cause premature failure.

Car would also stall after it was started and left in park when i would get in to put it in drive. This would all happen during cold…
