You know why Hondo? https://www.crvownersclub.com/threa...com/threads/fuel-injector-discussion.243720/page-4?post_id=1862244#post-1862244

 

All our Hondas, various models, filled only with ethanol free E0

can not wait for closing of this topic, do not buy a turbo

 

The hybrid is not direct injection, so the byproduct OD is not a concern.

 

CR-V Hybrid has a 2.0-liter direct-injected Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine.

This chart confirms same.

 

Did that change? I thought they were port injected.

 

Original, 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid, which was the first (US) generation of CR-V Hybrid, did indeed use a port injection fuel system for its gasoline engine

Confirmed here.

 

More specifically, 2020-2022 used port injected LFA1 engine.
My wife's 2022 with oil changes at 6mo/5K reek of fuel also.
A mix of weekday short trips <10 minutes and longer 30+ minutes on weekends.

 

Pretty much every DI engine will have oil with a fuel odor - it doesn’t take a lot. The only way to really assess the condition of the oil is with a used oil analysis from a lab that uses gas chromotography (not you, Blackstone).

Even then, we can debate endlessly how harmful it is. Nobody likes it but on the other hand we don’t see many (any?) premature engine failures.

 

Interesting. I still haven't changed my own oil since I'm still under the 2 year free oil change and maintenance mark, but I check my oil often and actually sniff the dipstick. Never smelled any trace of gasoline in it so far (13,500 mi,)
Had a 2014 Hyundai GDI Santa Fe Sport. Good Lord that oil would get black just 2 weeks after an oil change. No fuel smell there either and always ran fine. My '23 CR-V Hybrid oil stays pretty clean looking.

 

Short trips are killer, especially in cold.

 

kill this with fire

 

Pour some used oil on it and light a match, it’ll fire right up.

 

The 1.5 is worse. Proper oil changes - every 6 months/5k

 

The 2023 and 2024 Hybrid (as are all 2023 and newer Honda Vehicle engines) are GDI.
They say GDI stands for Gas Direct Injection, but every engineer knows it really is Gas Dilution Injection straight into the motor oil..

You need to change the oil every 6 months or 5000 miles - whichever comes first - if you want the engine to last.

I went with a 2022 Hybrid CR-V as I knew it was the last engine that was NOT GDI - probably my last car as I will not buy any turbo or GDI vehicle.

My 2 cents. (FYI I have owned multiple Hondas starting with a 1976 Accord, Subarus in the 1980's as Honda refused to make Cruise Control and FI until 1990 and multiple Hondas since - 2 Accords, 2 Civic Hybrids, 2 Ridgelines, 2 Pilots, and 3 CR-V's)

So you're saying GDI injects gasoline straight into the engine oil? Gee, never heard of that one. Could you explain how that happens?

 

The truth about oil dilution with fuel? Common sense??

The truth about oil dilution with fuel (and how you can fix it)

If you test your car's engine oil with a lab and they say there could be a problem, let us talk about what might really be going on, thanks to lockdown…

Read this in your link: "The choke basically made the mixture really lean,".

How do we know if the rest of his info is correct?
