I've never thought that fuel would cause an oil to THICKEN over time and so I am concerned about the oxidation and oil thickening.
Can you verify whether the coolant system/cooling fans are operating as they should?
Well, the presence of fuel for a prolonged period is definitely causing an environment the oil must react to. Is this a result of nitration or oxidation from the fuel presence, causing to thicken some?
