Gasoline is getting into the oil, raising the oil level and causing the oil to smell of gasoline and lose its effectiveness. I am concerned about the gas getting where it doesn't belong and causing a safety issue. This is after 5 days of use after I purchased the vehicle and the oil was changed by the dealer before I bought it.

Gas is mixing with the oil causing an overfill situation in the engine oil. It is also causing the oil to be diluted and may be causing premature engine wear. You can check the oil and the dipstick clearly shows an over fill situation and you can smell gas on the dipstick.

There is gas in my oil. I have not had any issues yet, but I fear for my safety and know that this is damaging my vehicle.

I found a gas smell in the oil for my 2017 Honda cr V. the dealer said nothing about the issue on my last oil change. I took the car to damson Honda on 10/182018. They verified that gas was in the oil with an.19 mm additional volume. This is unacceptable and dangerous

I occasionally noticed the smell of gasoline around the car. When I checked the oil level it was about 1/4 in. Above the full mark on the dipstick. I took the car to the dealer (scott Honda of West chester) where they confirmed the high oil level and noted the smell of gasoline in the oil. I was told this is a known problem with the turbo engine but Honda did not have a fix available. The dealer called Honda America and was authorized to change the oil under warranty.

Crankcase is filling with gasoline from the cylinders causing a high level on the oil dipstick (approx.1/2 inch above the high mark) also known as oil dilution.oil had no viscosity when I changed it and it reaked of gasoline.two different Honda dealers and american Honda customer service all acknowledged that there aware of the issue but they haven't come up with a remedy yet.meanwhile my vehicles engine and I am sure thousands more are being prematurely abused and worn because of gasoline (solvent) in the oil.Honda needs to make this right and soon!

I discovered fuel in the oil of my 2017 turbo Honda cr V when checking the oil level. I have approximately 2500 miles since my last oil change. I took the car to beaverton Honda on 11/16/2018 to check it out. They "verified customer's concerns of fuel in engine oil." They also "adjusted oil level" and then referred me to a Honda video on youtube. It would appear that they simply removed good oil to make room for more gas in the oil. This is unacceptable and dangerous.. apparently, Honda does not have a fix for this issue.

On 10-11-18 I received an email from consumer reports which included an article about issues with Honda's 1.5 turbo engines. I had recently been noticing engine response lag, on my 2017 CRV touring, so I went out and checked my oil level. I immediately noticed a fuel smell on the dip stick. The oil level was approximately 1 inch over the top mark. (till now I had not noticed an issue when checking oil level periodically since my 6-19-2018 oil change). I called the service dept. At my Honda dealership and was scheduled for an appointment on 10/18/2018. They scheduled me for an oil change. When I arrived for the appointment the service rep. Said he had just talked to their Honda rep. Who confirmed the issue and was told that a fix was to be rolled out in November 2018. I have been checking the oil level periodically since the October service and it has been creeping up regularly. As of 11-16-18 the oil level is again above the orange plastic piece that contains the high/low markings. I am very concerned about short and long-term damage to the engine and overall safety. This is our 7th new Honda and was expecting this to be our travel vehicle for many years.

After the second oil change at 5000 miles, I noticed a strong fuel smell in the oil. Took my car to the dealer, they said it was "normal". I have been changing oil more frequently in hope that it will eliminate this problem. Now my CRV has 11500 miles on it, the oil is always over fill due to oil dilution. I got so pissed that Honda builds such a [xxx] vehicle and charges us at high price.

We bought our CRV from Honda of fife on 9 April 2017. Since that time, our car has had three stalls. The first two were during the month of may, 2017 as we were travelling at slow rates of speed in blizzard and heavy snow conditions in Montana and alberta; the temperatures were mild, for snow storms, probably in the mid to high 20S F. in both of these instances, the visibility was about 100' and we were alone on these roads; however, it would have been very dangerous to be parked in the middle of the road if anyone else had been coming out of the white of the storm; in both instances, the car restarted immediately. I'd thought the issue might be poor or frozen fuel so didn't report the issue to Honda. The third time the CRV stalled was on the I-10 bridge over the Mississippi at baton rouge, la.in March of 2018.the temperature was in the 60S. In this case, we were in very slow, stop and go traffic, in a very tight, narrow lane due to construction; there were no turn outs or verges. As we started the climb up the West side of the bridge, the car stalled, there were no stop lights or brakes applied as I had no warning the car was going to quit and the car behind me, barely stopped before rear ending us. It started again immediately and we did not create a long term impediment to the flow of traffic. Again, I did not report this issue as I thought it might be poor fuel. American Honda has confirmed that there is a problem with gas getting into the engine oil too; a dealer noted that our oil smelled of gas; we do not know the long term affects on the engine or any hazards the condition poses.

Oil level was noticeably higher and had a fuel smell to it. We did take it to the dealership they said there no fix for it as of now but to change my oil more often.

Oil engine deluted with gas. Mixed oil level rises 1 inch every 3000-5000 miles. When reaches 22mm above "max" mark on the dip stick then "check engine" light comes on and engine stalls. Honda recalled 380000 units in china for the very same issue. Here in us they do nothing except risking the life of their customers. Shame ! forums and youtube are full with the same complain even some tv news channels mentioned it. Honda, please fix your problematic engine and compensate the CR-V owners and/or buy back your overpriced junk.

1. engine oil level after a recent oil change ( with very less mileage) shows the oil level is higher than the "highest" indicator point. It appears to be oil is getting diluted by unburnt fuel. This may potentially harm the engine!!.

- Alpharetta, GA, USA

Smell of gas is strongly present on the oil dipstick. The reading of the dipstick is above the full mark and it continues to rise. Oil was always changed by dealer. Foul smell is sometimes very noticeable on the outside of the car. Car heat in cold weather is very very slow before it heats the interior.

I have been noticing a fuel smell in the passenger cabin. It seems to be a major issue. I have been told from the dealer to change the oil and let the car warm up longer. That's the fix. Come on Honda. This is ridiculous. You NHTSA need to make sure Honda is held totally responsible.

When checking the engine oil approximately one month ago, the oil level exceeded the "high" mark on the dipstick. The oil also had a strong smell of gasoline. I took the car to my local Honda dealer and they changed the oil. After driving the car ~2000 miles after the oil change, the oil level again exceeds to high mark on the dipstick and smells strongly of gasoline.

After reading articles delineating that the 2017 and 2018 Honda CRV 1.5L turbo charged engines were receiving complaints regarding fuel mixing with the oil, I checked the oil and found that the dipstick was above the upper mark by a quarter of an inch and the oil smelled like gasoline. Changed the oil and found that the oil viscosity was runny and the old oil had a strong fuel smell. Prior to changing the oil, I had been noticing a fuel smell from time to time within the passenger compartment of the car while driving.

Oil reading was too high pass the max level plus fuel smell mixed in with oil. ( engine oil dilution )

- Haymarket, VA, USA

Upon removing the oil cap, there is a very strong odor of gasoline. After further research we found that this seems to be a problem this make and model of vehicle made by Honda. We will be contacting the service department at our local Honda dealer where the vehicle was purchase 10/2017. This vehicle has been driven about 1,500 miles. Very concerned about the reported stalls and long term effect of the engine itself. I am also concerned with potential of the vehicle stalling and losing both power steering and ABS. I want this issue on record with the NHTSA.
