Understanding Oil Dilution in Honda's 1.5L Turbo Engines: A Comprehensive Overview Oil dilution, a phenomenon where unburned fuel mixes with engine oil, is a topic of concern, particularly for owners of certain Honda models. This issue, while present in all engines to some degree, has been notably pronounced in Honda's 1.5L turbocharged engines, raising questions about its severity and impact on vehicle performance and reliability. What is Oil Dilution? Oil dilution occurs when unburned fuel enters the engine oil, thinning it and potentially altering its lubricating properties. In Honda's 1.5L turbo engines, this problem is more acute than usual. The acceptable level of fuel dilution in engine oil is typically 2.4 percent or less. However, in these specific Honda models, the dilution rate has exceeded this threshold. Affected Models The models most impacted by this issue are the 2017-2018 Honda Civics and the 2016-2018 Honda CR-Vs. Instances have also been reported in the...
The video by Victor of Cars Jubilee compares HDA (Highway Driving Assist) and HDA2, based on his experiences with two vehicles equipped with these systems: a 2022 Ioniq 5 with HDA2 and a 2023 Genesis GV60 with HDA. Here's a summary of the differences he notes: Auto Lane Change: HDA2 includes an auto lane change feature. However, Victor finds it limited because it requires a significant gap in traffic to work and also needs driver's steering input, which he feels defeats the purpose of an automatic system. Surrounding Vehicle Information: HDA2 provides a visual display of nearby vehicles on the driver's display and heads-up display, but this feature only activates when HDA2 is engaged (i.e., on highways). Victor prefers the blind spot warnings, which are always on and don't require HDA2 to be engaged. Driving to One Side within the Lane: HDA2 supposedly shifts the vehicle within its lane to avoid close vehicles encroaching into the lane. However, Victor hasn't expe...
