Disclaimer: Yes, I know a UOA would be best, but I aint getting one. I'm more interested in the discussion than I am the truth at the moment. As such, telling me to get a UOA will be a waste of your time. Feel free to do it, just know i will ignore it...and question your reading comprehension.
Here's the skinny: I'm about 3500 miles into an OCI on some M1 HM 10w-30, and the oil smells like its got a lot of gas in it. So much so that i will be changing the oil tomorrow to alleviate my fears it is contaminated with fuel to a dangerous point.
The engine is a 5.7L Hemi with 150K miles on it and no signs of wear above and beyond the norm (no excessive oil consumption; no smoking).
Caveats to consider: The 3500 miles are all highway with lots of WOT operation. When i say lots, i mean excessive. When i say excessive, i mean an insane amount.
Question for the forum: Is it reasonable to believe my peculiar operation during this OCI is to blame for the alleged excessive fuel dilution?
