today my second set of oil analysis came back on both of my engines, wife's escape w/2.0 and my truck, both were flagged for >5% fuel dilution, all other elements were ok, viscosity was a little impaired and base numbers were good, no real problems with wear metals, my concern is that this will have long term negative affects on the durability of these engines, aside from this problem(if it is) these engine run very nice, all kinds of power and very good fuel economy for what they are. My questions to anyone who has had this issue is how did the dealer treat this problem, at what point does ford get involved? the truck has 25,600 miles and the escape has roughly 19,000 miles, any one with any real knowledge of these issues thanks in advance, Joe
