I wonder if this isn't a full wide scale 1.5T issue. I hope not.

Not identical.

[CNN]"Somehow, gasoline is getting into the car's lubricating oil which should not normally happen, Consumer Reports said. That dilutes the engine oil making it less effective at lubricating the engine. Over time, that can lead to engine damage and loss of power or stalling,....."[CNN]

Fake news. Some fuel always gets in the oil, it normally happens. Not "somehow" but in a well known way. More fuel gets in the oil in DI engines. Still more oil may be getting in the oil in defective engines. The loss of power is not caused by viscosty changes.

I wonder if by loss of power they mean limp mode.

But of course.
