WAY too much fuel in the oil which breaks the oil down and lead to very serious issues

Fuel dilution of oil in the X has been raised and addressed earlier. See:

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...l-problem.html

Bottom Line: Waiting for STI2EVO for results from testing his oil; results are applicable to OEM "tune"; this may not be an issue for those tuned cars where A/F ratio was significantly raised.

Later, Ken

Less fuel, more complete burn of the fuel leaves little to seep past the piston rings and into the oil.

^thanks and yes i did read that thread about fuel mixing with OIL and i even responded on the poll maybe i just havent been catching up on that thread but from the beginning it was simply checking other X owners if they can smell fuel in their oil.

No, fuel with oil not water! Read it carefully.
