Hi guys, I'm looking for a CR-V with the 1.5 turbo engine. Is this engine any good? I've read some problems on this website about oil dilution. Is this problem fixed on newer CR-Vs?

 

If you read the article it says that a recall was put out by Honda which solved the oil dilution issue. So I would place my money on Honda having this issue for later models. It was just a software update. And the engine is reliable with maintenance. Should last 200-300k. Just make sure to use a quality fuel treatment every oil change. Seafoam has been my go to for years. A bottle in the tank and a 1/2 bottle in the crankcase. My 08 HHR SS 2.0T was spotless under the valve cover and never had any sludge build up either. Used Seafoam since 42k. Had 176k when the timing chain failed.
