How much fuel do you have in the oil?

Not sure how much, but its still very strong and is high on the dipstick after 700 miles. I took it back the second time after they did the TSB, and mentioned there was more that just the PCV replacement and the flash, but they said its not that bad. To me I have the same problem as I did the first time. This was the service manager that I spoke to. Have an appointment at another dealer on Wed.

The fuel in oil issue is absolutely a DI thing. diesels have the same problem. But the dual valve catch cans on the market do help get the fuel out for sure, at least in my experience and a lot of other peoples. I personally think its because they reroute the PCV lines in a more efficient manner. The catch can itself doesnt really do anything to help, catching the crap is kinda just a side benefit you get.

It used to be eye watering to drain the oil out of my truck because of the smell and vapors.

Do a oil analysis from Blackstone and see how much fuel is in your oil.

My Blackstone-labs report tells me I got a 4% fuel dilution in Mobile 1 10-30w after 5000 miles. Looks like I'll keep the oil changes at that interval.

I had 1.5% fuel at 3200 miles on amsoil 5w30, 140k miles on truck. I am around 5k miles on this oil and will send another sample in this week

I was in a hurry and just got it changed without pulling a sample. I will send one next round in a month or so

Has anybody heard of the JEGS Oil Breather Tanks number 52202? I'm not sure if it's a catch can or not, but it's a lot cheaper than the UPR brand and it looks like one. Also was wondering if I just need the one for the pass side or do I need the second one for the drivers side?
