2013 model, 29k miles. I have 2 issues, maybe related, maybe not. So I'm needing some advice/help for repairs.
Issue 1 - While commuting to work the last few days, I noticed the check engine light would come on after shutting off the throttle while coming up to a stop light. The light does not come every time I do that. I use engine braking a lot for deceleration so it was a surprise to see the light come on. There are no other symptoms. No hard starting, no rough idle, no surging, normal operating temps. I did notice that the clutch was getting a little grabby, not as smooth as normal. Which leads to the next issue.
Issue 2 - While checking the oil today, which I do about every other day, I noticed 2 things. The oil was black & over full. I pulled the filler cap & stuck a rod down into the oil & when it came out, it smelled like gas. The oil & filter was changed less than 500 miles ago (synthetic 10w-40). Have there been issues with the injectors going bad? I did just get back for a 3 week 9k miles trip to Alaska. Could this be from bad & or low grade dirty gas on the trip? If dirty gas, any issues should have appeared much earlier, right?
Any thoughts - suggestions - ideas?
