I just bought a 2013 Honda Accord Touring Model with 80,000 Kilometres on it from a Honda Dealership in August, I believe it has the 4 cylinder engine without turbo charge. I read online that 2013 is the first year that Honda introduced GDI to the Accords, but I'm not sure if that's the case. Should I be worried about oil dilution or any other problems? How should I take care of it so it lasts a long time? I live in Canada by the way.
Those are fantastic cars with that 2.4L engine. Only the 1.5L turbo engines had that oil dilution problem so you're all good. Change the engine oil every 5K miles and drain/fill the transmission fluid every 40K-50K miles with OEM Honda fluid. It should be a very dependable car for you!
The 2.4 Naturally Aspirated GDI 4 cylinder was one of the best engines Honda ever made. You should worry about other problems.

The transmissions usually are weaker than their engines. The oil dellusion issues were with the newer 1.5 Turbo engine that does not come in that model year.
Hope this helps!
But you have got an excellent car it should last a long time if you take care of it.
If you have a 2013 Accord and it is truly a Touring model, then it is a 3.5 liter (J35) V6, not a four cylinders because all 2013 - 2015 Accord Tourings had the V6 (in the USA at least). And in 2013 the big issue to watch for on the J-series Honda V6 is the variable cylinder management issue that results in bad piston rings and need to replace the short block.
