You worry about this way to much my friend.
Its more geared towards the Hyundai 2.4 crowd, plus some new car OCD. But I see your point.
BTW, nice stable of vehicles...
No offense but what makes the Hyundai 2.4 special that UOA's show more than the condition of the oil for that particular engine and the exact person who send it in?
My brother in law has a 2014 Hyundai Tucson with the Theta II.
Nothing special, just the widespread worry of many direct injection owners concerning fuel dilution and the argument of many, not all, that synthetics can mitigate it. Other's believe its an overblown topic. Important? Yes, but not to the frenetic levels some have taken it.
I am seeing 2 UOAs ( which only refelct that driver, that engine, and that driving syle) that show fuel above 2%.
Have you did any UOA's on your particular car with your driving style to confirm you have a fuel dilution problem?
I can tell you with my experience with two engines (neither DI but with more fuel dilution than you can imagine) synthetic wont do anything for it.
The two engines in question are a 512 stroker mopar and a 528 SC Hemi on 250 NOS shot making close do 2k HP.
I also have UOA'd my own engines (5.4 ford and 2.5 mazda) with a 1 mile commute and no fuel dilution.
Do you have a UOA with fuel dilution? Any other UOA is only worthwhile for that person in that car. Unless any of these UOAs are yours - they mean nothing for you own car and driving style.
