What was the problem with the Honda 1.5L?
Even though Honda’s reliability has slipped massively over the past few years, I have faith that they will see the wisdom of supporting the owners of their vehicles when–inevitably–they suffer catastrophic failure as a result of their documented oil dilution problem.
How did they fix the Honda 1.5L turbo-maintenance?
IMHO, this is 100% correct fix to the problem of too little heat this engine dumps into coolant, resulting in “gas in oil” condition with short trips. Maybe they also went too much overboard with reducing they OCI of their MaintenanceMinder, but you did not tell us how short are your “short trips” to reason about it.
Which is more reliable Honda 2.0 or 1.5T engine?
I’ve seen posts regarding the 2.0L liter engine being more reliable. Honda’s using the 1.5T across their lineup. Accord, CR-V, and Civic. It’s reasonable to assume they did their homework to make sure it lasts, and accounted for fuel dilution. Anyone here forced to change their 1.5T oil because the level was too high?
What kind of engine does Honda Civic 1.5L have?
Wards Intelligence data shows 82% of the 766,000 ’17-’18 CR-Vs sold in the U.S. were equipped with the 1.5L, while about 47% of the 1.1 million ’16-’18 Civics came with the turbo powerplant. Honda says the problem occurs when the engine doesn’t warm up enough to evaporate unburned fuel that slips past piston rings and infiltrates engine oil.

Is the Honda Civic l15t a turbo engine?
Well, as is the way with most modern turbocharged engines, the L15T seemingly has a good amount of untapped potential. We knew it was only a matter of time before tuners got down and dirty with the new family of turbocharged Hondas. To the surprise of probably no one, Hondata has made headlines first.
