Honda has resolved the engine oil dilution issue by modifying the ECU. Recap of Honda's Engine Oil Dilution Incident: In December 2017, numerous complaints from 2017 Honda CR-V owners surfaced online, reporting gasoline mixing into the engine oil, with severe cases even showing emulsification at the oil filler cap. Initially, the issue went unnoticed, but after media coverage, it rapidly spread nationwide, with many 2017 1.5T CR-V and Civic owners reporting similar oil dilution problems. Honda's Recall Solution for Oil Dilution: Since the oil dilution issue primarily affected Dongfeng Honda models, Dongfeng Honda recalled 1.5T Civics and CR-Vs produced between February 14, 2017, and February 27, 2018, offering a lifetime warranty on certain key engine components. The recall repair measures mainly included replacing the radiator lower hose and updating the engine ECU software.
