Anyone hear of oil dilution issues with the EB?

Just curious. Given it's Amsoil bringing it up, it's already fishy

Nope. I'm sorry but I take issue with most things AMSOIL related. I've just seen too many issues here and elsewhere.

That said, I've not experienced anything with mine and just had the first oil change and service done at 3K. I'm always on a 3K maintenance program with my gas vehicles and this one is no exception. I may just go ahead and get a Blackstone kit though out of curiosity.

As I understand it, all direct injected gas burners are subject some fuel bypass into the crankcase.

Ford is launching the EB program fleet wide except in the heavier trucks, I'm guessing that Ford isn't real concerned.

I'm certain about the Taurus models, but the F-150's can go up to 10K on a dump cycle or when the oil life monitor says to dump, which ever occurs first.

Currently I'm having the dealer dump mine on a 5000-6000 mile cycle.
