CR-V engine problems

I guess the answer isn't CR-V...

https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/05/cars/consumer-reports-honda-cr-v-engine-trouble/index.html

"The problem occurs in 2017 and 2018 CR-Vs with Honda's new 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. There are more than 500,000 of them on the roads in the United States. Somehow, gasoline is getting into the car's lubricating oil which should not normally happen, Consumer Reports said. That dilutes the engine oil making it less effective at lubricating the engine. Over time, that can lead to engine damage and loss of power or stalling, especially on cold days or in heavy traffic."

Gas in the oil??  How the frig.

I don't really trust turbo motors. I'd be wary of buying one. That's just me, though.

Carbs?

Its what bread's made out of. Bread is wheat, wheat is a plant. Most dinosaurs were plant eaters. Oil is made from dinosaurs. Hence, gas in the oil. Perfectly normal.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

In older cars, gasoline was too powerful to be burned directly by the engine, and had to be returned to bread form before being injected into the engine. Hence cars were fitted with carburetors to re-carbify the fuel.

Turbos have an oil line and a coolant line. No fuel in the turbo, so it must be some kind of a control issue.

Gives you a higher breadline.

Those cars cost a lot of dough.

Working on them is such a PITA.

Without yeast injection you'll get a low breadline and it'll loaf along. Such a PITA.

Ahh sounds like it's making oil.


Making oil seems like it's quite rare in the automotive world, but rather common in the marine outboard world.  Basically what happens is the engine is running too cold and the fuel condenses out of the mixture and basically flows past the piston rings into the crank.   It's called making oil because when you go check the oil, the level keeps going up and up, creating the illusion of the engine making more oil.   This is bad because fuel doesn't lubricate like oil does.

This is a much bigger problem in the boating outboard world because outboard motors run quite a bit cooler than automotive ones, as they use the raw water from their surroundings to cool the engine rather than a radiator and closed circuit.   They are often run for extended periods at idle at start up as the boat drives out of the river or harbor in the no wake zone.  An engine notorious for making oil is unfortunately the one on our boat, the Yamaha 4.2L V6.  The problem is made worse by the plasma cylinder walls which make it difficult to seat the piston rings.  Basically the way around this is the run the piss out of the boat early on in the break in period to seat the rings.  Also you should run the engine flat out at max RPM and max load for a bit every time you use it.

While it would be amusing to watch soccer moms top out their CR-Vs every day, I don't think it would be a viable solution for the CR-V.
