I've heard of high pressure fuel systems causing that , They will have a line to each injector instead of a fuel rail , as I remember .
Hello Jimmy, 1st you can check for any actual recalls for your car at this website https://owners.honda.com/service-maintenance/recalls This will show you any SAFETY recalls and I suggest you schedule sevice for any outstanding recalls ASAP. I doubt you will find the gas diluted oil there - as far as I know Honda has only recalled for that problem in China (go figure...) The diluted oil problem has gotten a lot of press and and presuming the T in your CRV 1.5T is Turbo, it appears your vehicle may indeed have that problem. So, you MAY HAVE some engine parts covered by an extra year of "extended warranty" - owners of affected vehicle were supposed to be notified This consumer reports article provides its take on the issue: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/honda-extends-warranty-on-troubled- turbo-engines/ Also you can check (warning,your browser or antivirus might complain because it isn't a secure - https site but I didn't have any problem with it:) http://www.hondaproblems.com/oil-dilution/ for a decent history of the issue and the name of a law firm that is/was investigating a class action lawsuit against honda. FYI, we bought our 2018 new from the dealer and they did have me bring it in for a 'misleading' warranty repair - it was something to do with the air conditioning if my memory is right and when I asked about the gas in oil problem I was told that this repair covered the oll problem... Good luck, hopefully you local dealership will do right by you.
