    Amsoil SS 6.8k, 15' Fusion, 2L EB 120k

    What leads me to believe the fuel number is grossly inaccurate is the UOA of my father inlaws Caravan that had a lot of fuel in the oil and the flash point and viscosity hardly budged so if it moved this much this sample the 1% number has to be grossly inaccurate given how well Signature Series...

    Considering a thicker oil

    I'd switch to a 30wt then and give it a try, high mileage should resist burn-off better. Thicker won't hurt so long as it's not overly thick which a 30wt in a 20wt application wouldn't be.
