    New technology = new problems. Let them iron it out for a couple of years.

    Just like the Mazda with the new skyactiv X, problems should be expected within the early years. They’ll perfect the recipe eventually.

    ^Twas initially thought to be a cold climate issue......"but problems in summer months have also been reported in California and Texas according to Consumer Reports."

    On our side of the Pacific, Honda has long stopped selling 1.5T Civics & CRVs in China due to Oil Dilution.

    It's asymptomatic, brother stock. How many would care check their dipsticks regularly? You, me perhaps....out of how many? And they'd likely check for an oil level drop to top up (as we do in every other car) than a rise. Oil dilution's effects will show up much later...probably when most 1st owners have sold theirs.
    The report should be seen by affected & future owners as good caution, brother stock sir. The message is: 1.5T Earth Dreams built before 2019 can't be keepers once warranty, extended or not, ends. Never a happy bearer of not-so-great news here....Got buds w/ those engines, too.Yikes!!!

    Ok, so this issue is just more prevalent in cold weather. I wonder what exactly is causing this excessive oil dilution in 1.5T.

    Something Honda doesn't seem to want to touch w/ a recall. They opted to just stop selling in China & extend warranty in the US. Go figure. Hope there will be no complaints here.

    I think its the 0w16 oil theyre using in the North America and maybe china.

    If they revert to 0w20 oils this will reduce their MPG by 2-4% imagine the billions they have to reimburse buyers because of this.
