AutoExpert.com.au has a very good explanation of how oil dilution occurs (albeit Mazda is the subject car, but perhaps the Honda direct-fuel-injected engines are experiencing similar). He states that all engines experience oil dilution at various levels. Cold start, short trips, premature shut down, are the most abusive operating method from your engine with any type of fuel injection. Other potential problems are spoken of; watch the video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMX94zarLs4 Thus if you make too many short drives that don't heat-up the engine, oil dilution from gasoline should be worse in any type fuel-injection engine.
