I just bought a 2016 Toyota Highlander (68000 miles, looks like new). I was considering a newer Honda CR-V, then I read about oil dilution troubles in their 4 cyl. turbo engine. Apparently gas gets past the piston rings when the engine is cold and ends up in the oil pan. If government would get out of the way of competitive free enterprise, everything would work better. They lowered the displacement by 40%, added a turbo ang gained 5-10 HP. All to try to conform to EPA rules. End result, bad motor.
