Car fuel economy seems poor and oil level goes up on dip stick and turns dark very quickly after oil and filter are changed. Within 1,000 miles oil level on dip stick will be 1CM above the full mark. Took vehicle to dealership where we purchased the car and they ran a diagnostic test on the fuel injectors and found a defective injector. Dealer replaced the fuel injector set and hard fuel delivery pipe. The problem still exists. No change in fuel economy or oil dilution. We do not do short trips. We live in Tennessee where the dealership states that oil dilution is not a problem in this state. I am taking the car back next week. Getting the Manufacturer (Honda) to acknowledge and fix the problem is my #1 priority.
This is an ongoing issue with Honda's 1.5 turbo engine. Gas in the oil can only lead to problems. This problem was supposedly fixed but hasn't. Documented at my dealer and they get no answer from Honda. Honda should not be selling this engine until the issue is 100% fixed.
