High Oil Level With Gas In Oil
2017 Honda CR-V (Page 1 of 5)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: It's rare when a newer vehicle has defect trends, & the 2017 Honda CR-V has at least two — overfilled oil levels with a gas smell, & heat not working.
Both problems affecting the Honda CR-V's 1.5L "Earth Dreams" engine appear to be related to cold-climate regions.
CR-V owners report overfilled oil levels due to fuel in the oil, & sometimes a gas smell in the cabin. That problem appears to be related to fuel injection which Honda hopes to fix via a software update. Honda so far has only conducted a recall in China & a "product update" in Canada.
CR-V owners also report no heat even after warming up their CR-Vs for 30 minutes — not even enough to defrost the windshield. So far, there has been no fix from Honda for this issue.

When you pull the oil dip stick, there is a gas smell. A few times I've smelled gas within the inside of the car. So I've read far the problem is not as bad in the south but my concern is the long term effect the oil and gas mixture will have on the engine life. So far I have not heard of a fix but it's very concerning for owners who have purchased mainly due to the reliability of the Honda name! That was my main reason for purchasing a Honda again!
