At this point it's tempting to just follow the 10,000 mile oil change interval and let the engine seize so Ford has to give me a new engine, but I'd much rather they just solve the issue now before it gets to that point...

Oh ya still has the problem, just dropped it off at the dealer tonight, though they won't get to it until Monday. When I told the service manager about it he said "well if there actually is fuel in the oil the engine won't last long" in a fairly condescending tone. To which I replied " ya...

Just got the results back in, good thing I caught onto this and changed my oil! I haven't looked real close to see if it gives me more specific numbers, but over 5% fuel dilution, which is the highest level they have, and the oil lubricity of course is severely degraded. Just can't believe the...

I like how it maintains the adaptive cruise control and clearly maintains good airflow to the intercooler. Just might have to get this one...

Just checked how much "oil" I drained out last night and it came out to 7 quarts. Adding the oil left in the engine (it was still draining a little when I buttoned it back up), the little bit I took out to send to amsoil, and the fairly significant amount that spilled, I estimate anywhere from...

I appreciate all the replies about the pcv system and catch can. Only a few things lead me to think that's probably not the issue, though definitely worth looking at. I'm going to measure the amount of oil I drained out yesterday to see how much fuel got in the oil, but I think it's a lot, and...

So I changed the oil last night, no more fuel smell. Ran the truck for a few minutes prior to warm the oil up so it would drain nice. Installed the fumoto. Went out today to look at the oil and it reeked of gas again! Never ran it since changing the oil, just slightly before. But only the first...

I appreciate the reply, I think you are right about it being an injector issue. Just gotta get the dealer to work with me! Fortunately it does not get very cold where I'm at in West Texas, but I do travel up to Utah and Colorado where my wife and I are from pretty frequently. Looking forward to...

I appreciate the reply, what do you think of the possibility of it simply being a leaking injector? And what would be the best way to test for that? The dealer performed an injector buzz test, but I don't know if that would really help find a leaking injector, I don't know much about that test...

I'll pick it up today and change my oil, then I'll send in an oil sample somewhere to get it checked out. I'll post results here. Any suggestions on which kit I should go with?

So first the dealer called and said that they didn't "see" any fuel, and that there was still oil in it, to which I replied that they needed to smell the oil, and see how over filled it is, and that of course there is still oil in there, it's not like I'm saying that the oil was all magically...

I did unfortunately. Such a pita to install, I had no desire to remove it. They'd have to prove it caused the issue to deny a warranty claim, and if it is my fault I'll take the hit. I appreciate the advice.

Ya my best guess would have something to do with one of the injectors, hopefully the techs at the Ford dealer get it figured out quickly!

Also, if there was a vacuum leak there would be a CEL, which there is not.

Like I said, the original PCV hose also reeked of gasoline when I removed it, the inside is also coated in gasoline. And tell me exactly how a catch can would cause gasoline to enter the crankcase? There is no way it could lead to this problem. Heck, if I never installed the catch can I would've...

And ya I agree, if I was constantly cold starting it and going on short trips I could understand a little fuel getting in the crankcase, but not like this...

Ya the oil level was normal when I first checked at 200 miles or so, but I never smelled it or anything which could've been an early giveaway of the problem. My gas mileage has actually been pretty good, but when I check at the pump it is generally about 2 mpg lower than the computer calculates...

Also forgot to mention when I removed the original hose from the PCV valve it too reeked of gas, but I didn't think much of it at the time. I figured it's normal to get a little fuel into the crankcase and that the smell is so potent it can overpower everything else, but now I know that I...

I installed the UPR catch can about a week ago, and after about a 600 Mile road trip this last weekend I wanted to see what it had captured, and much to my surprise it contained a few ounces of gasoline (maybe a little water, but it has been warm here in Texas and the engine never cooled down...
