Can 3.6L Pentastar have fuel dilution?

Specially in the winter?
Thank you

Never had a problem. They’re port injected NA V6’s, not tiny boosted direct injected 4 bangers prone to LSPI.

A leaky injector can contribute to fuel dilution.

A leaky injector can contribute to fuel dilution.

How to avoid that? By using good fuel or some fuel additive once in awhile?

Replace the bad injector.

You mention the winter specifically … are you doing a lot of idling?

No, not idling but doing three to five mile short trips sometimes

 

[rijndael]

Short tripping can also contribute to it.

Short tripping can also contribute to it.

Is 3 miles considered short trip?

 

[rijndael]

Yep.
