- Quick Test on my 2022 Honda CR-V to see if oil dilution is still a thing. This was noted to be an issue on 1.5 Turbo 2017-19 models with fuel getting into the gas, however was fixed with a "software update". Lets see!

I agree I have had 3 different Honda civics and the R18 engine is bulletproof I think a lot of people underestimate this engine. Not only is the engine bulletproof but the 5 speed automatic transmissions are really reliable too
I bought a 2019 Honda civic sport with the 2.0 engine, one of the best engines, I knew about the oil dilution problem, never like turbo engines
This is my wife’s car, I just got a 23 civic sport hatchback 6 speed manual as my new daily. Has the 2.0 as well!
My wife's 2022 Honda Civic Touring 1.5T L15B7 engine has no Oil Dilution issue so far in its 1st year bought October 2022 and it is October 2023. Reside in the Northeast and we get an average annual snowfall of 127.3 inches. I don't believe the Cold Weather is an issue, just some engines are assembled better than others. I think it is a Quality Control problem as they check like 1 engine out of every 100 built instead of 1 out of 10. Other than a QC problem could be an Operator problem depending who is on shift working.
I myself have a Civic 1.5t 2020. Yes, the oil smells like gasoline, but the level does not rise or fall. Because gasoline slowly evaporates as soon as it gets into the oil. Honda basically says that there is nothing wrong with a little gasoline in the oil. I agree with that myself. Because if we look at 2-stroke engines, there is a 1:50 percent mixture that lubricates the crankshaft and piston, but some such engines are indestructible. Gasoline itself has certain lubricating abilities. I haven't even seen on the internet that someone blocked this engine because of oil, let alone tuners.
Yeah... Honda will say anything as long as you buy it. 1L oil consumption per 1k km is fine according to the manual
I drive civic myself and would happily get 1.5l turbo 10g as long as it gives some fun (comparing to r18) and cheap/reliable enough to drive for 200k km. But in CRV? Nahh, fuck it, bring 2.4l back
He said the commute is 4 miles. The engine doesn't have the time to heat up enough to get rid of the gas and that us why it accumulates.
just wait till your warranty expires. That small engine is already getting overstressed because they are pushing high horsepower with a turbo , on top the oil dilution will kill that engine slowly but surely. Manufacturer will sell you anything in the name of emission regulations and fuel economy . I am still sticking to my naturally aspirated 2.4 as long as I can
Its a shame cause the 2023 sport touring hatch civic looked really apealing for a cheap and practical commuter.
1.5L supercharged anything is a bad idea. Simply too much cylinder pressure.
I'll gladly pay the extra cost for gasoline to avoid this design flaw.
174k on my 2020 Crv.
No problems.
My wife has a 22 CRV-EXL with 60k and zero problems.
We live in Ohio
Glad to hear!!!
Масло какой вязкости используете, 0w20?
Hello,
Do you still drive the CR-V 1.5? I recently bought a 2019 Honda CR-V 1.5 173ps, manual transmission. I'm interested to know how many miles you have on it and if there have been any issues? Thank you very much.
Would 5w30 be better than 0w20?
Im glad I still have my crv after 320k miles and 22 years. no oil dilution yet
Is Castro good
I think another problem is when you idle to much in the morning, most people warm the cabin while they are cleaning snow ( if it is cover with snow) and that takes around 5 min.
Hi there, have you consider to add an oil catch can? Some owners are using it, with the iddle stopper, and 91 octone fuel only
No I haven’t considered it, a catch can really has nothing to do with fuel getting into the oil
How is software update supposed to fix the oil fuel dilution? I never liked the new turbo. The only 2 engines i like from Honda is the J series V6 engines and the K Series.
I believe they changed the tune for cold start parameters. Different fuel table or timing changes, not quite sure but that’s what I read
better change the oil more often.
R18 and R20 engines are super reliable as well
If I go with a CRV I will definitely be looking at a last gen 2.4. On the CRV forum, the modulators have shut down the oil dilution thread saying Honda has solved the problem, so there is no need to bring it up again. I’m always Leary of well documented problems and this is bugging me big time.
Have 50k on my 2.4 2016. No problems
I have 100,000 miles on my 2017 CRV and almost 50,000 on the 2016 CRV and absolutely no problems with the 2.4 liter engines. The 1.5 turbo engines are too small and the fix cannot be a software related. IMO the 2.0 liter engine should be the smallest engine to be built.
I have a 2011 with the na K24 engine, and an automatic transmission. I hate the new hondas with turbos and cvts, all that junk causes problems
@@Sunandstar_official as long as your change the cvt in your Honda every 30k miles. I know quite a few on the forum approaching 200k no problems Nissans suck no matter what ya do lol
@@LiquidSm0ke yea. We all agree on nissan cvts
I am not sure if the oil was over the line. These dip sticks are tricky to read , and I see a line beneath the max mark. You need to look for the line , and not for oil. I don't know why Honda decided to use these crappy dip sticks....
As reliable as that civic is, a Lexus LS430 is even MORE reliable.
The Honda 2 stroke!
clean the dip stick and put it back in for an accurate read, the car moving around may make the oil higher than it is stationary
That’s what I always do
Go with Toyota rav FWd if warm states, cold weather state go with Subaru crossover
I can tell you it is not fixed for 2022, after reading about this, I went and checked the oil in my 2022 CRV, it has around 7000 kms since change and the dipstick level was approximately half the dipstick range above full and it smells like gas. My first honda vehicle and definitely my last.
On my L15 engine I use Mannol A3/B4 5W30 because the fuel was making the oil as water. I am changing the oil at 5000kms and the filter on 10000. Honda is still bulletproof just this engine needs a bit more care.
It's infuriating. Our '21 civic is the same--looks over-full after only 3K miles. I'm doing 3K filter and oil now. How is that good for the environment? And don't tell me to drive it longer or flog it harder because that's all just bs--it's a design flaw.
Even if you change the oil more often, if the result is significantly better fuel economy, that's still less crude petroleum needed in the first place. We're talking about less than a gallon of motor oil difference in 6000 miles.
I have doubled my oil changes also. I have a 2019 crv with the 1.5. Honda is not standing behind this engine. I have been a loyal honda owner since 1991. Some oil dilution is normal but this is excessive.
2015 CRV has oil dilution issues
Because it is not a 1.5L Turbo. Yours has the 2.4L non turbo.
HONDA LOST ME NOW. I have been loyal for 50 years. Honda lost me with this engine! I will not play with it!! This engine will not last like my 2002 Honda CRV now with over 273,000 miles. Shame on Honda for putting this engine on the market and keeping it there for so long. Looking at Toyota or Mazda now!
It might last but Mazda is good underdog Toyota cheapness on interior lately
I have been a honda owner since 1991. I will not buy a honda with a 1.5. I have a 2019 crv. With the 1.5. Worst part honda will not stand behind this engine. Admit you have a problem and make your long term customer happy.
I have a civic with 170000 no problems. Still running strong. I've been a loyal to honda for 40 years guess I'll be looking elsewhere too.
@@toddsmith1617 I live in area that gets very cold . The 1.5 is terrible in cold conditions. Oil dilution because engine is constantly over fueling . Engine will not stay in operating temp in short stop and go driving or idling in winter condtions with heater on high.
@@BrsrafalToyota has always had cheap interiors, more so on their barebones people movers. They only recently started offering different interior colors besides black, champagne and blue.
i hope for goodness, we bought new 2022.
Sell it. Buy an Outback.
I agree. I had 2 Honda CRVs and both had the oil dilution problem. Honda needs to cancel this engine.
Why don't you guys run 0 - 40 wt shell full synthetic diesel oil which has better protection against oil delusion , by the time you need to change oil it'll be like a 0 - 30 wt oil
If you use that oil and have an engine problem, Honda will not stand behind the warranty. Case closed.
@@jimwillingham8052just change it before you bring it in
No it is not fixed. My first honda is my 2022crv. Oil samples show fuel dilution at 5000 mile oil change. This will be my last honda.
better change the oil more often.
Definitely not fixed. I have 2019. Terrible winter vehicle. Engine cannot stay at operating temp in short and stop driving with heater on maximum on a cold winter day. Bring back the 2.4 engine
2.4 engines or 2.0 💯
Speak with your wallet. I have 2019 crv with 1.5. My last crv with 1.5
This motor should have been scrapped by Honda long ago . I believe the "Computer Fix" they did must have been a reprogram (Fuel RE- Map) to force that cylinder head to warm up as fast as possible during start up to reduce raw fuel from blow by past the piston rings . To my limited knowledge , the only way to do that would be to reprogram the Fuel/ Air mixture making it much more Lean. therefore hotter. So. Ya. Leaning out the fuel/air to band -aid a royally screwed up engine design flaw . I think of one word when I see a vehicle with this motor.......... Never . !!!
Yes, that’s why my new daily driver is a 2023 civic sport hatch with the 2.0 k20 engine! We still have this CRV though, no issues yet
@@NAUS2K your CRV is still very new to have any issues . The longevity of these engines hasn't been tested yet since they are too new . The old k24 engines used to easily go beyound 300000 kms with only regular maintenance . Time will tell if Honda messed up with small engines pushed hard with turbos. I remember those chevy cruzes with 1.6 turbos had all kind of issues
Shame on Honda for not fixing this problem. Don't buy any Honda with the 1.5L Turbo engine.
Doing your own oil changes while the car is under warranty and has know engine issues is not a good idea. If you have to make and engine warranty claim they will deny it as you can't prove you have been maintaining the car.
Nah, I’d much rather do it myself at my intervals I choose and I know it’s done right. To each their own
that 1.5L turbo is one of the worst engines Honda has ever produced.
Im not a huge fan. Hoping this lasts as a family car without issues for us. I dont have a high level of confidence I can send this thing to 200K miles with just oil changes like my civic though.
@@NAUS2K Switch to heavier weight oil and under fill a little to leave room for dilution. 0W30 in winter and 5W30 in summer. Since your use is low, you can do twice a year oil changes. Say Oct and April. Some even recommend heavier weight Euro oils but that might be little too thick. Premium fuel also helps but might be cost prohibitive.
I wonder how in the world gas gets into oil!
I'm a retired diesel mechanic . I own a 2019 crv with 1.5. This engine is terrible in winter condtions in stop and driving with heater on max. If you idle engine temp drops below operating temp. I have owned honda vehicles since 1991. Three season vehicle
