How bad is the Honda Oil Dilution issue, are there model years to avoid?
Hi - adding to this thread and adding @Hunter Fried per a referral.
I too am looking at buying a used CRV, 2016 or newer. But I struggle with the oil dilution issues concern. Are these serious (appears so? I”m not sure, but there’s a lawsuit)?
Are there model years where this issue is reduced? In other words, are there years I should focus on in my search.
And if it happens, what can be done? Would a warranty help much or just cause back and forth, as the issue may not be resolvable? Too pessimistic?
I could avoid the turbos and look for the older naturally aspirated engines, which I think stopped in 2018? But that really limits the searching, and I do like the CRVs.
Help, any guidance appreciated. Tom
