I had this same problem with my company van in my sig-a double dose of Techron concentrate, combined with Shell V-Power (premium) & a long highway run cleared it up & it hasn't happened since (over a year ago). IMHO a 195 degree thermostat, new ECM coolant sensor, & O2 sensor all would help too, thermostat first. This cold winter weather may also be a BIG problem-bet as it warms up it gets better!
Oil Suggestion for Engine with Fuel Contamination?

Hey everyone, thanks for all the input. And sorry for the late response!! I got caught up with schoolwork and forgot to maintain this post.
I got the results for my latest oil sample analysis, and the fuel dilution is now undetectable
The sample was taken at the same time of year as the sample with fuel dilution. The only difference is that there were much less short trips on my latest fuel sample.
I'm thinking that could be what caused the fuel dilution to go down, but Flash point is seems a bit low at 385 degrees f.
Since its summer I have time and will try some of the maintenance items posted here.
Thanks for the help so far everyone!
