    Problem:
    The 2017 to 2018 Honda CR-V & 2016 to 2018 Honda Civic with a 1.5-liter turbo engine will now have warranty extension covering those for another year. If you experience problems, Honda says you will be covered, but only for CERTAIN PARTS.
    Complaints from owners say they can smell raw fuel inside the cabin and outside the vehicle. This is due to gasoline seeping into the engine oil. The problem has raised concerns about the durability of the 1.5-liter turbo engine and about the vehicles potentially stalling, especially in cold weather. But problems in summer months have also been reported in California and Texas according to Consumer Reports. Oil dilution could even result in catastrophic engine failure.
    If you suspect you have a problem in your Civic or CR-V, check your oil level. If it’s above the full mark, there’s likely fuel seeping into your oil and it could ruin your engine. Apparently driving your vehicle short distances can exacerbate the problem.

    HondaUSA's Mind Peace Solution
    Honda is now providing an extra year of coverage, six years from the time of purchase, with no mileage limits. But it only covers some POWERTRAIN components; the CAMSHAFT, ROCKER ARM assemblies, and spark plugs. Honda says oil dilution in the Civic and CR-V 1.5-liter engine is rare and that the company is “acting to provide peace of mind for its customers.”

    The Civic is now for sale, planning on getting either a CR-V or a CX-5 (gas variants)

    (although tempting ang Mazda6...)
