my blackstone report came back that there was a small amount
of fuel in the oil sample . they said that i could be from stop and go city driving or possible injector problem. i don't do any city driving so my next choice is the injectors. any input from
you guys would be welcome.
thanks, roger

Fuel can get in the oil through a defective IP without a weep hole, and through the lift pump. Consider switching to an electric pump to rule out one of those.
