CRV's issue of excessive engine oil has been resolved, and the 2021 CRV no longer experiences the problem of engine oil increase. Below is the relevant introduction of CRV: 1. CRV is a compact SUV under Honda, with dimensions of 4621mm in length, 1855mm in width, 1679mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2661mm; 2. CRV is equipped with two types of engines, one is a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.5L turbocharged engine; 3. The model equipped with the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine is the hybrid version. The hybrid version's 2.0L naturally aspirated engine delivers 146 horsepower and a maximum torque of 175 Nm. This engine is equipped with Honda's i-VTEC technology and multi-point electronic fuel injection technology, and it uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
I remember a few years ago my CR-V had the issue of oil dilution, mainly affecting the 1.5L turbocharged engine in the 2017 to 2019 models. After short winter drives, the oil level would rise, which was caused by fuel mixing into the oil. Honda later issued a recall to update the Engine Control Unit (ECU) software for free, adjusting fuel injection and thermal management to reduce incomplete combustion during cold starts. The newer CR-V models have basically resolved this issue. After the update, my car has run 20,000 kilometers without any problems, and the oil level remains stable. Regularly checking the dipstick yourself is a good habit to avoid letting the problem worsen. I recommend owners visit authorized dealerships for repairs to ensure a thorough solution. While it may affect driving confidence, timely repairs won’t impact the engine’s lifespan.
