I have a '15 Fit (DI; non Turbo).
Would it be beneficial to cover the open with a piece of cardboard to help the engine heat up quicker, maybe make it run hotter, to mitigate the dilution problem? Back in the day this was common but I can't remember the last time I saw this trick. This will be the first winter with this car.
So far it heats (interior) up at least as quickly as anything else I drive. Also- it has an idiot cold temp light, no gauge, so who knows, I could be baking the motor by blocking the airflow without even knowing it.
And yes, the motor oil reeks of fuel right off it seems. (I drained the oil when the mm read 90% to get the unknown oil out).
