Oil diluted with fuel (3/4" above the full mark on the dipstick) - this is a problem with Honda's 1.5 turbo engine (Civic, CRV). Others with this issue have reported their vehicles stalling while driving at 70 mph -- definitely a safety issue.

Excess fuel is entering the engine oil which is diluting the oil and causing premature wear.

At 2025 miles my 2018 civicthat I had for 2ish months started smelling like fuel in the cab. So I looked it up and the earth dreams motor is having oil dilution problems and it is becoming more common. So I checked my oil and found my car a quart overfull with fuel in my oil. I then had it towed to the dealership where they gave it a free oil change and said that there is no fix andit is normal. The oil viscosity will deteriorate eventual leaving me witha knock or disabled on the side of the road. It is an issue that can cause a crash or sickness when the noxious gas smell comes back. I have now put 450 miles on it since the oil change and am smelling fuel in my oil again.
