Yeah. Agreed. You can have a KV100 of 18.0 cst or 2.7% fuel dilution but not both at the same time.
Seems a crying shame to dump this oil. It seems to have virtually all of its TBN reserve intact.

the oil did start at 20 cst though

you just proved you dont understand what 2.7% fuel means

enlighten me.

I use fuel in my car, but I do believe that's a gasser....

gas is a poor lubricant, dump that oil + unless you are sure your fuel issue is gone just use a decent cheap dino oil.
