Who cares? I wanna see these DiLluTiOn destroyed engines

Someone give Columbo here a medal. Though I don’t know who this other person is, sounds very smart thougj

It may not be ideal, but it doesn’t actually make any practical difference. Also most people will never see 5% dilution anyway

For your use case it really doesn’t matter, even on your back road runs you aren’t putting anywhere near as much stress on your oil as you think. If you were tracking the car, different story. Just change the oil more frequently if you are still uneasy about it, and use whatever your manual...

10w-50* thicker is always better

It’s a good thing that the dilution doesn’t actually matter anyway. Keep on keeping on

That doesn’t show any actual effects, but thank you for the in depth research you showed

That’s an interesting way of saying “I don’t have any”

Do you have anything that shows said damage? I’d be willing to look at some photos or physical evidence, not listen to someone regurgitate the same tired theory

Carbon buildup and oil dilution are exactly not related. However, carbon buildup due to GDI is GENERALLY known to cause buildup in most GDI engines, broadly speaking. Oil dilution is just a boogeyman and not shown to have any adverse effects whatsoever. These people will parrot the same tired...

2022 Civic 1.5t CVT w/15,065 mi 5,144mi OCI, always use Top Tier 87 octane 3.75qt M1 AFE and PLM-A02 out/off 3.75qt M1 AFE and PLM-A02 in/on No dilution here 🤔

Minor and egregious seem to be very subjective. What is minor dilution and when does it become egregious? Am I dumping 1 cup of fuel into a 4qt sump or a 6qt?

It doesn’t matter, I’ve seen UOA posted here showing near 10% and comments indicate no concerning wear. Although I hear a lot of theoretically sound arguments on why it’s harmful, nobody has been able to show how it practically affects anything. When a high mile DI car is posted, they say it’s...

I used to do 10k intervals on my Prius because port injected low power no turbo. Now doing 5k with GDI Turbo. DIY oil change costs me $27 and I do it 3x a year. If I stretched it to 10k I’d do 3 every 2 years instead of 6, saving a whopping $40 a year which doesn’t really seem like a good deal...

And people are spreading hysteria that 0w-20 isn’t sufficient for 5k intervals 🤡 Nice results

Yet there is no evidence of this except for UOAs that don’t show wear 😏

Those will damage an engine in the long run, regardless of fuel content in the oil

DI engine with high miles isn’t worth analyzing because it “has had an easy life”. DI engine with low miles “hasn’t been driven enough to see the damage” These guys are sure though, that DI engines and dillution ARE a problem, even though there’s zero evidence. Apparently it takes 200k miles of...

Oil dilution doesn’t actually matter, almost as meaningless as judging oil by smell or color especially at 5k intervals. I would stick to manufacturer recommended spec and carry on what you’re doing with the 5k intervals. Lot of hubbub on here about dilution yet nobody has ever been able to...

I did 10k OCI on my old Prius out of laziness/lack of time to go to a shop and get it done. With mine and my wife's new car being Turbo Direct Injected and having a garage and big driveway now, i'm doing 5k intervals on both. Stretching it to 10k would save us so little money it's not worth it
