Fuel is mixing with the motor oil and diluting it. Oil level rises above the full mark on the oil dipstick and has an odor of fuel. I had a professional oil analysis performed that confirmed that the oil is being diluted and viscosity lost. A copy is attached. The flash point also is reduced. This problem could affect engine performance and become a safety issue. The problem is ongoing. The date given is the date of the attached report.

Oil volume increases over time. Ok smells like gasoline and turns black. Heater barely works in the winter. Honda has acknowledged the problem and suggested more frequent oil changes due to fuel dilution. However they refuse to pay for the oil changes. I have documentation of the issue from my Honda dealer.

There is a strong smell of gasoline on the dipstick when checking oil levels. Oil levels are up to 1 inch above the highest measurable level on the dip stick. I had the oil analyzed and it showed >5% oil dilution. City gas mileage is 21-22 mpg -- way below advertised mpg. See attachments.

A few weeks ago, my wife and I were driving on the interstate and noticed a gasoline smell in the passenger compartment, which lasted a short period of time and went away. On another occasion we noticed the smell again. I checked the fuel fill tube but found no problem there. I also checked under the hood and detected a fuel smell but saw no evidence of a leak. While under the hood I checked the oil and smelled a strong fuel smell in the oil. The fluid level on the dipstick was 7/8' above full level. I checked and double checked the levels and smell and there was definitely gasoline in the oil. I contacted the dealership (johnson city Honda in johnson city, tn) and was told that this was a characteristic of the 1.5L engine when it was driven at low speeds and should be 'driven at higher speeds on the freeway to 'burn off' the fuel in the oil'! (we had just returned from a 750 mile interstate trip).they did change the oil but there was no resolution to the problem. Since then the oil level has increased to ' above full level and the fuel smell is present. In my opinion, gasoline in the oil presents a safety hazard in that it can ignite under extreme heat conditions and can cause respiratory issues with passengers when the smell migrates to the passenger compartment. I have received information that Honda has recalled approximately 350,000 of these vehicles in the asian market, but they have not made any attempt to correct the problem in the U.S.

Gasoline getting into the oil. Dipstick read in between "the lines" on level ground. Drove 1500 miles (approx.) during a vacation. Checked oil at our destination, on level ground, and the oil level was 1/4" to 3/8" above the full line on the dipstick and smelled of gasoline. I called Honda and received a case number 08740888. Took car to dealer and was told Honda is aware of the problem but doesn't know what to do about it. Also there is a recall in china for this very problem. The dealer did change the oil.
