I checked my oil level the oil day and noticed that it was well above the "full" mark on the dipstick. I also noticed that it was not as viscous as it should be and that it smelled like gasoline. The car only has 1123 miles on it.

While driving in town and on freeway, noticed very strong fuel smell in cabin of car, enough to make kids complain in the back seat. Had to turn off heat/fan. Brought car in to dealer on 2/19, and oil was overfull by 3/4 quart due to fuel dilution. Changed oil and filter. Advised Honda has no clue, watch oil. Mileage: 3953. Opened case with Honda. 2/25 - drove 50 miles one way on freeway to go shopping. While going from store to store, strong fuel smell again in cabin. Parked in garage at home, later had to move it out due to garage filling with fuel smell. 2/28 - oil overfull and smells like fuel, dealer changed oil and filter. No other solution. 3/2 - Honda case mgr called, advised they are working on solution. Until then, check oil every couple days and all oil changes will be warrantied. 3/3-3/15 - smelling fumes inside cabin again. Nothing strong. Just becoming the "usual". 3/15 - oil change number three, same reason. Mileage 5475. Ironically, I the beginning of Feb, before knowing this issue, I had a dr appt. I advised my doctor that my asthma has gotten worse. It was exercise induced previously, but now it's flaring at random times and my chest hurts. I got a new asthma plan. Come to find out, fuel fumes aggrevates asthma!!

Like many other 2017-2018 Honda CR-V owners, I discovered a significant amount of gasoline in the oil reservoir of my vehicle after normal usage. In less than a month of ownership and less than 1,000 miles driven, my CR-V's oil reservoir was 0.5 quarts over full due to dilution from uncombusted gasoline. This problem and its cause have been documented by CR-V owners on multiple other websites and forums. When I pulled the oil dipstick from my CR-V's engine, I immediately smelled gasoline and recognized that excessive dilution had occurred. I am greatly concerned about the performance, safety, and longevity of my CR-V's engine due to this deficiency. Furthermore, I am questioning the safety of the 2017-2018 Honda CR-V given that multiple CR-V owners have documented stalled engines and engine damage due to this problem. I am thankful I caught this problem in my CR-V before the check engine light came on or before my engine stalled; however, oil dilution will continue to plague these vehicles until Honda provides a long-term solution or recall.
