Best UOA company for detecting Fuel dilution

[Brolly]

Any thoughts? I have a black stone kit already but willing to use a different company for UOA on my 2.0T. I’m unaware and have searched for UOA on the CTR or the Accord and haven’t found any UOA on the new 2.0T.

The lab must use gas chromatography (GC) to accurately measure fuel dilution. Oil Analyzers does. Some others do too.

It would be very interesting to do a UOA using 87 octane and another using 91 or 93 octane. I never had fuel dilution issues on any UOA's I posted of my GTI or my wifes Audi which have turbo direct injected engines. We always use 93 octane gas.

Don't use Blackstone. They don't use that method unless they changed.

Well I sent them one over a month ago and still no results????

The whole point of oil analysis is to get the results ASAP so you know if you can continue the oil in service or not. Same business day is what you should be paying for, at most 2nd day. Anyplace that took longer than 2 days doesn't want my business, and/or doesn't understand the importance of oil analysis in the first place.

I have read some forums on studies being performed “Toyota” on motor oil with high calcium package can contribute to LSPI. How does the dexos 1 Gen 2 oils help the LSPI and in turn would this help in decreasing problems with fuel dilution in some of the GDI engines? Are these two issues connected?
