Consumer Description

ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK SHOWS OIL LEVEL ABOVE FULL AND SMELLS OF GAS. HONDA DEALER CLAIMS NO KNOWLEDGE OF A PROBLEM ALTHOUGH IT IS WELL KNOWN IN INTERNET AUTO BLOGS. I HAD MY OIL TESTED AT BLACKSTONE LABORATORIES AND THE REPORT STATES IT CONTAINS 3.3% OF FUEL AND 'A FAIR AMOUNT OF METAL PRESENT', AND A FLASHPOINT OF 305 DEGREES WHEN IT SHOULD BE ABOVE 370. THIS IS A NEW CAR WITH ONLY 3534 MILES ON IT. OIL DILUTED WITH GAS COULD CAUSE MY ENGINE TO FREEZE UP WHILE DRIVING DUE TO LACK OF PROPER LUBRICATION. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN A TURBO ENGINE AND WILL END ITS LIFE PREMATURELY AND POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT
