Let's see if the oil dilution problem appears with both types of transmissions!
After reading this thread https://www.civicx.com/threads/oil-dilution-and-body-style.29151/ I made a few observations.
The engine is the same, but perhaps in the cold, the CRV is just running at lower RPM's than with a standard as you accellerate and drive at speed (in the effort of being maximally efficient). This may be contribute to the problem! It will be interesting to see if the transmission software fix will keep the RPM's higher when the engine is cold!
Anyways - please post your answer if you have a 1.5T engine!

- In the UK, they do not acknowledge the problem.
- I understand the CR-V fix involves modifications to the CVT software.
- Problem seems to affect the CR-V more than the Civic
