Just received my most recent UOA from Blackstone Labs. I expected the fuel dilution to be higher as a result of lower temperatures.I have 8659 miles on my 2019 lariat 2 wheel drive. My first oil change was at 2000 miles because I wanted to switch to mobil 1 full synthetic annual as it has a lower noack number to reduce deposits on the intake valve. I regularly change oil in my vehicles around 3000 miles my driving range varies short trips to the store etc i use the start stop. I have had only one time when checking the crankcase oil level I smelt gas though the level was normal. Go figure. I think how the motor is broke in "seating the rings" does make a difference but not sure that would be the direct cause, has anyone who is having gas in oil issues had a compression check done?
I'm not pleased with the increased fuel dilution but have decided to monitor the wear metals count going forward. The powertrain warranty is 5 years/60,000 miles as I recall. With the cost of oil, filter and UOA, I figure an oil change is around $80 USD. Currently doing at 4000 miles in winter but may drop to 3000 miles.
FYI, I sent an email to The Fast Lane truck YouTube site suggesting they do a video on this issue. I would encourage others to do the same. Their email address is :

The only way to fully understand this concern and get Ford's attention is visibility.
