Oil Analysis interpretation
An oil analysis was done on the oil extracted from my vehicle after 5,000 kms / 1 year of use. The report is attached. I have no idea how to interpret the report but am a little troubled by reference to fuel dilution. Can anyone offer some insight?

I think some fuel dilution is normal on these engines. I know my oil smells like fuel as well. Especially after 4-5k miles, it gets pretty strong. I keep my oil change intervals at 4-5k miles. My previous Mercedes V8 Biturbo smelled like gas too. It's probably because of these engines using direct injection. I wouldn't worry about it. |

Same here on the fuel quality issue. Always having to add octane (eth or octane boosters or both) to compensate for our crappy fuel. And don't get me started on the potholes
