Fuel in oil

[Hellrazor]

I don’t think it’s antifreeze that’s still topped off where it was.. probably some type of break in additive

My first Blackstone report said there was a fair amount of residues from building and breaking in. Normal break in washout

In a couple hundred more miles getting ready to send off another sample. Ready to see how the 5/40 faired in 3000 miles. Want to see how far the viscosity falls and the percentage of fuel dilution in 3000!

As far as color your antifreeze should be a redish color not green!

Ford discontinued orange mid '19. It's now yellow (more chartreuse to my eye), which includes any early Ranger buyers as the replacement. https://www.fcsdchemicalsandlubricants.com/quickref/coolantsEN.pdf

You learn something new everyday didn't know that. Changed less than 2 months after my truck build date in May 19! THANKS!!!

Same I barely missed the change! Ford Tech Makuloco has a good video explaining the benefits of yellow over orange, so I did a full flush with distilled water and switched over to yellow.

I had some green residue when i bought mine new, I think it's some break in material.
it was not directly in the oil but i saw it on top of the dip stick

I believe it is an additive to help detect leaks during test running at the factory.

I think we should all go out to the garage and check, and then drink a 6 pack and no one will give a damn then what color the antifreeze is. LOL

I already don't give a damn! ha

Smelling your dipstick for fuel is about as accurate as sticking your finger up your butt to tell how much corn you’re eating.

You may be right, but none of my other vehicles oil smells like fuel when I pull out the dipstick or take off the oil cap.

Update: My service advisor just called me. The technician has found fuel saturation in cylinders 2, 3, and 4. They ordered four new injectors. Parts "should" be in on Tuesday. After he replaces all the injectors, spark plugs, oil, and filter he needs to let it sit over night and re run what ever tests he did to make sure that is the fix. He also supposedly did the brake GSB for the pedal travel and I was told that the replacement leather seat bottom that came in was damaged and had to be re ordered. She is hoping to have my truck back, providing this fixes the fuel in oil issue, by next Weds or Thursday.

Dealership just called me - the new injectors won't be in until April 7th. "If" they come in I am looking at getting the truck back on April 9th. They never used the words "back ordered" but said parts were getting hard to get.

Well after years of smelling fuel in my garage at the end of the day and oil dilution I finally sold the truck. I paid cash for the truck and the value was tanking. At 50,000 miles It started to sound more and more like a diesel on startup. I do have ARB skid plates and a catted SPD stainless downpipe for sale if anyone is interested. Maybe my oil dilution problem is rare and maybe the engines will last a while, but there are no maybes with my replacement truck, 2021 Tundra TRD Pro. New overland build has started!

My solution now is to not look at the stick and have ford change oil at the milage they recommend. If the ecoboom goes boom then they pay to fix it . Turns out all the eco motors do this not just the 2.3 . They are gas motors designed as a diesel. Not a problem for diesel to be in the oil .
