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.
