Yes, Spencer Grammer was slashed while trying to intervene when some drunk guy went after restaurant servers who didn't want to serve him, allegedly. On one of her arms, so not considered life threatening. Aside from the hospital visit, which isn't without risk these days, although they are doing their best to keep things contained.

And this is where silly free association can take you on a car forum... my apologies for jinxing the Grammer family!

I take some blame here, too. But, this isn't exactly the Harvard Law Review.

Brand new 2020 RDX. I have checked the oil level during my car delivery at the dealership. Checked it at least half a dozen times.
One side of the dip stick indicated oil level at its max. The opposite side showed above that orange plastic tip.
Checked the oil level today at 500 miles on odometer. Same results. Didn't smell any gas.

It effects the car more in cold climates,.

I had a 2017 Honda CR-V (Turbo DI) and the "hive" told me the oil would be diluted. It never was. My son's 2018 CR-V used mostly in the city and sits outside in the weather and never any rise in the oil level. A year and a half on our 2019 RDX, living in the Mid-West still no oil dilution. I have no doubts that some might have had an issue but there is no sign of "OD". I quit wasting my time looking for it. Meanwhile Honda has sold hundreds of thousands of the CR-v.

Oil dilution might be a problem in any direct injected turbo engine but they try to reduce it in 2.0T by changing moment of injection. I read that when RDX engine is cold fuel is injected when piston is moving up (compression) while on hot engine it is injected when the piston is moving down. That way they limit time of contact of the fuel with oil on cylinder walls. Perhaps it affects performance and 1.5T on CR-V was too weak for that. It is also possible that it is a new improvement, that they apply now to 1.5T as well. Performance improvement with turbo comes not only from higher air pressure, but also from longer injections (more fuel) during acceleration. Since all is controlled by computer it is always possible to reduce amount of fuel at the expense of performance when engine is cold. Performance of cold engine is not my highest priority (I can wait), but I've read complains (other cars) of car being very sluggish when cold.

Same here I can wait for about 5 minutes for the engine to warm up.

New owner here. Took delivery of a 23 Aspec last week. I pulled the dipstick for the first time yesterday and this has to be the most difficult to read dipstick I’ve ever experienced. I suppose as the oil darkens it will be easier to see the level but I find fresh oil difficult to see on the orange tip.

Yeah everyone hates it. I wipe it completely dry and you have to angle it so you get a good reflection off the meniscus when looking at the level.

Roughen up the plastic tip gently with sandpaper, and it will be easier to read. Still not great.

I find it a lot easier to read when the car has sat overnight and the engine is cold but yes, even then it's difficult to see with fresh oil.

I wish reading oil level was the only issue …

Guess I shall count my lucky stars, only one minor issue with my 21 RDX in 23k miles/40 months of ownership.
