2017 Honda Cr-v engine oil level rising, within 2000 miles of driving, past top of orange plastic dipstick which would indicate an oil level more than 1/2 quart high after being filled correctly by dealer to the 3. 7 quart high level mark. This oil dilution (most likely with gasoline as the oil is not turning white as when water enters the oil) reduces the viscosity of the 0-20w oil which could lead to engine bearing surfaces seizing at some inopportune time. Orange plastic dipstick is difficult to read and oil level should be only read after the engine is stopped for three minutes per the manual. . . Guess we need a stopwatch. Cold engine oil levels are even higher. Owners manual p559 specifically states that the oil should not be overfilled. Overfilling can cause aeration of the oil, causing oil pumping problems, or reducing lubrication of bearing surfaces. Have to call Honda customer service, start case#, and plead for free extra oil changes when high level is obvious after several readings.

During cold winter months in michigan, there is a grinding noise for about 2 seconds when first starting the vehicle. Took it to Honda dealer and they contacted american Honda who told them that this was a "normal problem" with Cr-vs apparently due to the oil pump not functioning properly. American Honda was contacted and was told that they are aware of this problem but have not indicated any solution.
