fuel in oil???
On a 2001 LB7 Dmax- if you start getting diesel fuel in the oil, can you smell it? My injectors were last replaced at 175K miles; the smoke at idle was heavy and quite noticeable. I currently have 268K miles on the truck and I'm beginning to see what appears to be a "slight trace" of smoke at idle (not smoking anywheres as near as heavily as it was when I last had them replaced). Trying to identify an increase on the dip (stick) is not quite easily done, since GM went away from the dip stick and used a cable with an indicator slug at the end. Since the last injector replacement, I've been using either Power Service (Silver jug) or Lucas fuel treatment (yeah, not the most popular according to some, but better than nothing). I put ~600 on the truck weekly.
I guess my other option is to pay someone a few bucks to read the injector rates. And what about this "paper test" that is supposed to indicate the presence of fuel in the oil? Anyone?
Thanks.
