| Description of the problem | 2018 honda crv-ex - strong gasoline smell in oil - total mileage 1600. Took crv to dealer today to check gas smell in oil. Tech confirmed strong gas smell in oil and very black and runny (thin watery like). The tech indicated that this was not his first like experience with the new crv - he said he'd experienced other ones. They changed the oil and filter with full synthetic oil. I requested and received a sample of my old oil along with documentation. The service manager indicated that he hadn't heard anything about this problem. Anyway, we will change our oil very often until this issue is hopefully, safely resolved. We're very concerned about the "fuel in oil" issue. |
