Yes. I do as well. I don't think the oil dilution issue has been solved. I'm pretty hard on mine, so I'm sure that's why mine does. Most direct injection engines are going to have some oil dilution. I change my oil on every car every 3000, synthetic or not. For me it was pretty noticeable about 2500 miles in.
I will take it to dealer tomorrow. Let's see what they say
i hate to break it to you but the stealer aint gonna do shit except say "its normal".
You can't smell much gasoline in 3.4qts of oil. I know 2-3% gasoline in oil for gdi is normal but you can't be sure unless you get oil analysis done
Why worry about it until it becomes an issue where u can smell it?
I am from California and here the temperature is above 80f on average. I commute around 10 miles one way including 8 miles highway where the car reaches 70to75mph and yet I can smell little gasoline smell. I not strong and I can't understand the oil level because of our bad dipstick design
DI engine is going to get some fuel in the oil. On my last two oil changes I sent my oil for analysis, and everything was normal after 7K on the oil both times. Both times I was told that I could have gone a couple thousand more miles. Just follow the MM and you will be fine. Changing your oil every 3K is a waste of money. That statement is based on scientific data on not speculation or opinion
This may have been exhaust fumes from a car in front of you. You shouldn't be smelling any gas through your hvac system. If you continue to smell gas and it is for sure not coming from outside, pop the hood and make sure there arent any hoses or lines leaking. Otherwise your civic is gonna be leaving a permanent scorch mark on the shoulder of the road where it burnt to the ground.
