The oil wasn't changed as I'm running a Motor Guard bypass filter. I was hoping to run this oil for an indefinite time, but it looks as if the 1.5% fuel dilution is going to keep me from doing that
.
An OAI tech person did call to inform me about the fuel dilution and to recommend possibly dumping the oil at a shorter than typical interval.
The analysis was a typical Schaeffer's UOA
