My oils is being diluted by fuel strong oder of gas from oil. Shows that it is over filled. When it is cold out side my engine feels like it is stuttering and it starts to click under acceleration. My car has already had fuel rail and injectors replaced under warranty for misfiring issues and my car has shut off on me multiple times while driving on busy 50 mph roads and had to coast into a parking lot. Every Honda dealer I've brought it to says this is normal and will not admit that my oil is diluted. But I heard them saying how bad the oil smell of gas

Fuel (gasoline) is seeping into the motor oil causing a overfill mark on oil dipstick and strong odor of gasoline when car is started. Oil viscosity seems to be "thinner" after 2000 + miles of driving.

Upon doing research on the tech that went into the motor of the 2017 si. I found that the same motor was in the 2017 CRV and there had been a recall on it for a fule problem. I did not find the exact problem on my vehicle however I did notice that when changeing oil there is a very strong gasoline smell. I'm afraid of there being damage to the motor due to loss of lubrication. (the date I'll put for when it happened will be the last date of an oil change.)

Fuel is mixing with oil. Oil dipstick reads higher when checked. Engine performance is sluggish. When checking oil, there is a strong gasoline smell. As a result, oil is significantly thinner when checked.

I have a 2017 Honda Civic with the 1.5 liter turbo. I started seeing lots of information on the Civic forum about oil dilution so I decided to have my engine oil analyzed. The report came back saying that the amount of fuel in my oil was greater than 5% which was deemed critical. This condition will cause engine failure and possible unsafe conditions.

The capless fuel design freezes shut preventing refueling until ice dam is defrosted. This could possibly leave someone stranded as I am.
