Oil Contamination
WE HAVE 3 NEW 6.0 DIESELS THAT WHEN WE HAVE THE OLD OIL TESTED THERE IS 5% FUEL IN THE OIL, FORD SAYS THERE IS NO SPEC FOR THIS. IF THE OIL LEVEL DOES NOT GO UP IT IS OK.
DOES ANY BODY KNOW OF A SPEC FOR THSI OR IF THIS IS EXCESSIVE.
I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD, MY BOSS, THAT IF THIS WAS A CAT DIESEL THEY WOULD SHUT IT DOWN AND REPAIR IT IMMEDIATLY.

Fuel in the oil. you better get it to a dealer that will change the injectors. My truck is in for this right now.
tell your dealer of course there is no spec. because there is not suppose to be any fuel in the oil.

Ask Ford if diesel is a suitable lubricant; I'll bet they'll tell you no. Then ask why its ok THIER product is poisoning itself. Start your paper trail ,document everything. When these trucks run ;they absolutely scream and when they get the bugs worked out it WILL be a world beater.

Diesels by nature will have fuel in the oil. During cold start up the rings have not expanded to a complete seal with the cylinder yet. I have no idea what the spec is, but just because there is fuel in the oil does not mean there is necessarily a problem.

ANY fuel in the oil IS a problem.

According to Blackstone Labs, <.5% is the target for an engine already broken in. I've seen some report of around 2% for engines during break-in. 5% does seem high, especially if the engine is already broken in.
