I changed my CRV's oil and filter at 5,000 miles, and decided to have the oil analyzed by POLARIS Laboratories (eoilreports.com). The 5,000 miles was mostly interstate, and all in warm to hot weather. According to the report, Fuel Dilution is 5% (by volume). There's also a lot of Silicon in the sample (162 ppm), which I hope is seals or casting debris that will fade over time.
I'll redo the oil/filter change and analysis at 10,000 miles.
I love the car, but will carefully document the oil contamination.
