Does the 2021 CR-V Earth Dream engine still have oil dilution issues?
1 Answers
2021 Honda CR-V models do not experience oil dilution issues. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Cause: This typically occurs when the engine injects excessive gasoline during startup. Sometimes due to over-injection and incomplete combustion, excessive cylinder wall pressure forces gasoline into the crankcase. Normally, gasoline would evaporate when the engine reaches operating temperature, but frequent cold starts and cold weather can prevent the oil from warming up sufficiently, making it difficult for gasoline to evaporate, thus leading to increasing oil levels. 2. Company actions: Dongfeng Honda announced a recall plan, deciding to recall 130,455 CR-V vehicles equipped with 1.5T engines produced between February 14, 2017 and February 27, 2018 starting from May 22, 2018. The recall measures include: reprogramming the ECT and TCU to primarily increase fuel injection pressure and reduce fuel injection quantity.
