Gasoline was contaminating the oil and causing an overfilled crankcase condition. On occasion gasoline fumes entered the cabin in January a Honda "fix" was installed by the dealer as part of a Honda notification. The oil was changed and a new filter installed at the same time. Since then, the oil level has been continuously monitored with the same over full contamination and gasoline fume problems in existence. The Honda "fix" did not solve the problem. Both the dealer and Honda have been notified. The continuing problem has been acknowledged, but no solution has been offered or discussed, the problem has been ongoing since we took delivery of the vehicle in June 2018.

Engine oil contamination when the oil dip stick was pulled, there was a strong smell of gasoline coming out of the dip stick hole, and it showed the oil was overfilled with factory oil in the engine. It was overfilled by at least 1/4 inch. When the engine oil was drained during the first oil change at 5827 miles, the oil had a very strong smell of gasoline. The oil seemed like there was almost no viscosity left, and drained like water out of the crankcase. The engine oil was diluted with gasoline.
2018 Honda crv has oil diluted by gas and causes the crankcase oil to be overfilled. Also smell of raw gas in cabin. Dealer has no fix. I got them to do the software upgrade but no change. Purchased the car new in April 2018 and immediately had the above mention problems. Had the oil changed and no improvement. Very concerned about the longevity of the engine and safety to car with that much gas in the oil.
The vehicles oil gas a strong gasoline smell and the crankcase appears to be over filled . Gasoline has migrated to the engine crankcase. Original oil in vehicle at 5845 miles. The odor is under the hood and very strong at oil filler cap and on the oil in the crankcase.

Purchased new Honda Cr-v 2018. Oil has gasoline entering crankcase and an odor of gasoline is evident. Honda sent recall and I had the recall work completed and it has not resolved the problem.
Gas is leaking into crankcase and diluting the engine oil therefore raising the oil level above the max fill line. Engine oil has gas odor and oil seems thinner due to dilution with gasoline.
The 1. 5 turbo engine's all experience a coolant heating up under 32degrees f problem. At idle the temperature cools down and heater does not supply warm air. Also the engine oil is being diluted by an overly rich mixture causing unburned gas to enter the crankcase diluting the engine oil and causing engine damage. Dealer has no clue when I took it in to why so I have to change oil eve3ry 1000 miles to protect the engine.
