| Description of the problem | Fuel is getting into the oil sump causing oil dilution. The crv 1. 5-liter turbo engine has problems. This is due to gasoline seeping into the engine oil. I have concerns about the durability of the 1. 5-liter turbo engine and about my vehicle potentially stalling, especially in cold weather here in illinois. A safety issue. Honda says that i need to drive it more to allow engine heat to dissipate the fuel. True i don't put a lot of miles on my car, but how often i drive my car should not be factored in when designing a safe and reliable car. Fuel diluted oil will not properly lubricate critical engine parts. When i heck my oil, the level rises on my dipstick. There is also a smell of gasoline on the dipstick. I have to keep getting oil changes to fix that. This has been constantly occurring. Since i bought the crv (bought in march 2020). |
