Here’s my second UOA on the vehicle. Oil Analyzer’s thinks this is M1 0W-16 again but it’s Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30. Stepped up viscosity due to severe fuel dilution from the cold, short trips and the nature of the hybrid. Sticking to this interval for the winter months, planning on a UOA in the summer to see what the fuel dilution looks like. Oh and the silicon could be from my Fumoto valve, looked kinda dirty before I drained, could only get it so clean. OEM filter.

Hello all,
Looking for advice. Here is the only UOA I’ve done on my wife’s 2020 rav 4. We purchased it with around 30k miles on it.
I started to notice an alarming rise in the oil level (smelled fuel-like), decided to dump and get a sample. I estimated an additional 1/4 - 1/2 qt of fuel.
I had the dealership look at it: they couldn’t care less about the UOA, they said it’s normal to get a smell of fuel in the hybrid. I asked questions regarding a potential injector issue or anything of the sort. They were confident if an injector had an issue, it would run rough and/or throw codes. Oh...
