If it's Mobil1, my experience is it doesn't stand up to fuel dilution very well at all. I stopped using it because it was clear from the UOAs I was having a problem with fuel dilution. My iron numbers have halved on the same OCI by changing oil brands.

I have no idea what it is, car had not moved for two years and its port injected with the thing that killed it being no fuel pressure.
I wonder if somebody could have done something stupid like adding washer fluid to the oil cap...
I would have expected emulsion to have occurred from water, if it's fuel cut THIS bad it would reek and have stratification I would think.
The other thing that is throwing me is how clear it is, I have bought cars that have sat like this before and the oil is what I would expect in terms of tone/feel/smell etc. This just doesn't line up whatsoever.
I was too busy yesterday to do anything but I'm going to actually try and be off today and get this cars oil changed. I probably should request this thread get merged with that vehicles main thread at this point haha!
