If a similar vehicle does not have fuel getting into the oil like the CRV Honda I would say it is better .

I would ask the seller to show proof that the engine updates have been completed. [Here is what Honda plans.](https://www.torquenews.com/1083/honda-america-announces-plan-address-cr-v-engines-oil-dilution-issue)
