Consumer Description

I CHECKED THE OIL THE DAY IT WAS CHANGED BY HONDA GARAGE. IT WAS "MIDDLE-HIGH" ON THE DIPSTICK. AFTER 5000 MILES (STILL 50% OIL LIFE) I HAVE CHECKED THE DIPSTICK AGAIN AND IT IS WAY OVER THE MEASURING AREA OF THE DIPSTICK (AT LEAST AN INCH OR MORE OVER THE "FULL" MARK). THE CAR IS STUMBLING ON IDLE, WHICH I BELIEVE IS FROM TOO MUCH COMPRESSION. HONDA GARAGE STATES IT'S THE FIRST ONE THEY HEARD ABOUT. I SAY THAT'S BECAUSE HONDA HAS NOT TOLD CR-V 1.8L OWNERS TO CHECK! IF MORE CHECKED THEY WOULD SEE HOW BAD THE PROBLEM IS. GAS IN OIL NO GOOD. THIS MUCH GAS IN OIL MEANS NEW ENGINE! WHAT IS HONDA DOING ABOUT IT? FREE OIL CHANGE. I HAVE 12000 MILES ON CAR, AND PROBABLY AT LEAST HALF OR MORE WITH HIGH LEVELS OF GAS IN OIL. FREE OIL CHANGE IS NOT HELPING MY ENGINE. HONDA SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SELL ME THIS CAR IF THEY KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING. THEY'RE HIDING IT BY NOT INFORMING THE OWNERS WHO ARE NOT CHECKING BEFORE OIL CHANGES.
