BLACKSTONE OIL ANALYSIS

Just curious what some opinions might be.
Recent OA from Blackstone says an almost perfect OA except for the fuel in oil at <2.0%. In the past OA's it has been <0.5%.
Is this a dangerous level? I know fuel in the oil is not good.
Sample was tested at 362,594 miles with 5100 miles on the sample using Rotella T Synthetic.
Should I start looking at injector work?

Thanks guys

I had an OA done last year and mine showed over 4% fuel. Ford considers 5% contaminated to the point have having to do the injector seals. I did that and no more fuel in the oil.So at over 2% you might want to think about doing this job in the near future.Besides, you get better milage with the fuel going into the cylinder instead of the oil.Roy
