I heard of those threads but haven't followed them...why did people become concerned in the first place? I haven't smelled gas or noticed any dilution in my oil so I've never bothered to look further...guess I'm doing ok...?
The amount of gas in the oil lowers the viscosity making it out of spec per Fords 5 - 30 range, it increases the level in the crankcase to where the crank will aerate the oil which will damage engine components because of lack of lubrication because of the introduction of air. Count your blessings you aren't having to deal with this.

When I change my oil, it's dark and thick (like used oil) so I'm guessing there's dilution going on lol...

I see you've been running back, and forth to your herb garden again Sid. :)

BTW, I'm happy to hear you've made 50K with no problems. I'm hoping I have the same luck with mine. The blend date on mine is 11/18, and is supposed to be delivered on 12/06.:turkey: Fingers crossed nothing throws those dates off. :fingerscrossed: My favorite saying these days is "I want my damn truck." I'm not used to being without one. :bandit:

Not even on my death bed, I would want to buried in it. There is only one thing missing that I can see. Where is the Gold Mack Bull dog hood ornament? :LOL: Finally got a good look at it without being blinded by the lights,.:thumbsup:

Back in July I was washing my truck and noticed the windshield delaminating in the upper corner on the passenger side. Contacted the dealer where I bought the truck. They replaced it under warranty. Told me it was a known issue with the new rangers. I've not had any problems with my local dealership with any of my vehicles purchased from them. A good small town dealership.
