If anyone is interested, please read this article above about the class action lawsuit against Honda for oil dilution in the 1.5L turbo engines in the 2018-2021 Accords, Civics, and CR-V's.

InJune 2017, Honda Atlas discontinued the Civic 1.5 liter Turbo variant due to various complaints regarding the performance of the engine which was unable to cope
Its a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol which makes 140kW/240Nm. That's not a great deal of grunt, but it’s more than the same engine makes in the Honda Civic, and at no point did it feel like it needed more oomph during our hilly drive. There's no diesel engine in the line-up any more, or a manual gearbox.

There has been some confusion in Honda forums as to exactly which turbo is deployed in gen5 CRVs. .
