Honda has really gone
Honda has really gone downhill over the years. Case in point, the 3.7 V6 using in the Acura MDX and others. They has nikasil lined cylinders they wore and these engines ate oil. Notice how the number of MDX's on the road have been dropping quickly as only some were covered by Honda and to replace the engine was cost prohibitive. Then the 1.5 liter Turbo direct injection used in Civic and CRV. The problem is with the very short stroke of the 1.5 and direct injection, the fuel doesn't have time to atomize and fuel droplets form. These droplets leak past the piston rings and into the oil. This washes the oil away from the rings accelerating wear and dilutes the already very thin oil. I believe that it's 0W-20. This causes excessive engine wear. Look at some of the oil analysis reports owners of CRV's have posted. It's really bad. This engine would have been perfect if Honda used "port" injection but with DI, not a chance. This issue is a design problem, not a software issue. The real fix is a new design which Honda isn't interested in the millions that would cost. These vehicles are not being sold in China and their Government won't allow this sort of issue. FIAT uses a tiny 1.4 liter high pressure turbo in their 500 models. They also retained port fuel injection and they have no oil dilution issues because of port injection plus the intake valves get washed by fuel. I will not buy any vehicle with direct injection.
